Haiti History by New Missions (sneak peak at The Marie Chantal Story)

The World Needs Jesus

How many countries can fit into one room? 138 countries were represented during the International Pastors and Ministers Conference. David T. Demola, pastor and founder of Faith Fellowship Ministries World Outreach Center shared: "Every good thing will be opposed so be of good cheer." John 16:33 This year, Pastor David celebrates 50-years of ministry.

I attended the conference with my mother, Jeanne DeTellis. For decades churches from around the northeast have supported New Missions. What a joy it was to meet with numerous pastors and friends. Personally, I was inspired by the world-wide representation of pastors. During breakfast one day, I met pastors from central Russia, Sri Lanka, and Brunel. I spoke with pastors from Northern Ireland, Egypt, and India. The speakers continued to drive home the point that our ministries only have breath when we root all that we do in the Word of God.

The challenge churches face around the world is conditional truth. Yesterday, today, and forever our God never changes! In Haiti, we proclaim Jesus as the only way to salvation. In the Dominican Republic, we stand firm on the Word of God as truth. In all that we do, we ask what does Scripture have to say, and how does our ministry lead others to a personal relationship with Jesus. -Timothy DeTellis

VBS At First Orlando Feeds the Children

This week at First Baptist Church of Orlando's VBS, the children collected offerings to help purchase rice for the children of New Missions. We are very thankful to their Children's Pastor David Holmes and Senior Pastor Dr. David Uth. This generous offering from children in the U.S. to the children of Haiti shows God's love from one child to another.
