NEW MISSIONS - HAITI
The year was 1983 when George and Jeanne DeTellis left the United States and went to Haiti with whatever they could carry on the plane.
They lived in tents and started a church the first Sunday they were there. A banner hanging nearby read, “Haiti: Hope in God.” Who could have imagined how God would bless such humble beginnings!
Today, those tents are a distant memory. 40 years later, New Missions has established 35 churches across the island of Hispaniola and 36 school campuses providing medical care and educating children from pre-school through high school and a Bible College in Haiti.

The purpose of this Christian mission shall be to bear the message of man’s redemption through Jesus Christ to all men, to establish and maintain a place of worship for Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son through the Holy Spirit, and for the promotion of Christian fellowship and edification.
Through the mission, we purpose to minister to the general community by providing churches, schools, clinics and feeding students at our schools, and by teaching Biblical training and other skills helpful to the people of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
We see the local church as the greatest force of good, globally. Together, we preach the Gospel, because only God changes lives forever. Our churches are pastored and led by local Haitians and Dominicans.
We believe the gift of education bridges the gap between despair and hope. In the country of Haiti, half of the children have never attended school. Together, we can open the door of hope for a child. The best solution for poverty is employment, and the pathway is through education.
Through our high schools, Bible colleges, and professional trade school, we are equipping leaders to make their communities better and families stronger. With empowerment, dignity and respect, our graduates represent changed lives.
Our vision is to raise a generation of Christian leaders who impact their communities and become role models for the next generation.
