Hello,

We wanted to thank you for your prayers. They have been such a blessing. Please read through to the end as we have some important prayer requests.

The pastor’s conference went really well. Mike shared with them his vision of the different parts of the ministry fitting together to reach all people, especially addressing poverty in a holistic manner. He also shared that he sees the ministry becoming more of a transformational movement. This really excited them. They want to have meetings to get all aspects of the ministry involved in reaching more of the community and doing more than just their job or ministry, but transforming Haiti. They are asking questions like "How can the Market Place demonstrate the love of God and love of others". It is such a blessing to see them grab hold of what God is doing in a bigger picture way.

Dr. Ralph, who has been with us since the beginning has family in America and so do two other leaders, Lemeque and Fedler. Each of these leaders have had opportunities and offers to move to America, but all three have turned the offers down over the years. They have each come to a place where they look at what they do in the ministry as the calling God has placed on their lives. It is really incredible when you think of it, they are definitely choosing to live a life of sacrifice. God has blessed us with some amazing, and incredible leaders. 

So I will share about church and then some prayer requests. Mike said there were 2 salvations in Pass Rein's church this morning and 2 salvations in Bout Nat. Mike taught in Myan's church. He said that an older lady, who was a guest asked him a question in church. She said that every night she was tormented with demons and battles. Mike explained that if you are a Christian Jesus gives us authority over darkness and that satan has no power over Christians, that he is a liar and full of deception. Mike then asked if anyone else had this problem. Twenty other people came forward. They prayed for them and they were set free. Praise God! Mike then shared that they came from a dark place and they had become accustomed to think this was a normal thing to be harassed in the night. He shared that they had the authority to tell the enemy to go, that the enemy has no authority over them because they belonged to Jesus. He said some of them had huge smiles on their faces.

Tomorrow Nathan and Mike will hike up Prayer Mountain and spend a good portion of the day praying for direction and vision for the ministry. They would appreciate your prayers.

Tonight the crusade started, we would love it if you would join us in prayer for salvations, healings and miracles. Mike will be preaching Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

We also would appreciate prayer for a friend named Larry Phlaum, he designed our website for us and volunteers to help maintain it. He also is over the website for NCCTK in Lynden. He is in desperate need of prayers, he has had a heart attack, and is in the hospital, they have found he has 95% blockage and if I understand right, they are trying to get him stable so that he can have surgery this week. Please partner with us in praying for Larry, he has been such a blessing to this ministry.

Blessings, Chris

 

Children from our school in Pass Rein

 

 Good evening,

Today, Mike spent most of the day in planning and meetings. One of the more major events coming up will be a crusade in Denonville. This is the village we have a school in on the outskirts of Gonaives, so it is rural but not mountainous. The crusade will start this Sunday evening the 23rd and go for 8 evenings, concluding on Sunday evening the 30th. Please be praying for eyes to see truth, ears to hear and hearts to turn to Jesus. Please also be praying for healings and miracles. Mike will be preaching on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Some of our other pastors will be preaching on the other nights and Nathan will be leading worship. 

Another event we would love for you to partner in prayer with us for is our Pastor's Conference, which will be this Saturday. Mike will be teaching at the Pastors conference. Please pray for Mike to be sharing what the Holy Spirit puts on his heart and for the pastors to hear and understand what Jesus has for them specifically. 

We want to thank you for praying for Mike's back. He is still having back pain though and would appreciate your prayers for more healing in his body, so that he can do what he is called to while he is in Haiti. 

When Mike talked with me this evening he shared some vision God has been showing him. I wanted to pass it on to you, because I believe it casts vision on where we are going with God.

"On the way over here (to Haiti) and the first days of my trip, God has been showing me how all the different parts of this ministry fit together to reach all the people.
That poverty must be addressed in a holistic manner. 
1. Good relationship with God and others. 
2. Good, Godly education
3. Good economy for individuals,  families,  and communities 
4. Good access to health care.
Each and every part of this ministry can work together to bring this kind of transformation to communities,  to be repeated over and over again.
We are leaving the stages of ministry and becoming a transformational movement."

God has had bigger dreams than us since the very conception of New Generation Ministries. I know it is because of His delight in the people of Haiti. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." I believe this is just the beginning. Thank you so very much for coming along side of us and the people of Haiti.

Blessings, Chris

One of the plants I planted is blooming in the Children's Village garden.

This is the hen house, its being roofed currently.

These are some of the vendor booths for the Market Place.

 

            Excited to see them again.

 

 

Hello, Hope that you are managing well through this crazier than normal winter we are having. Just a quick note to let you know that I, (Mike) will be going to Haiti again. I leave late tomorrow night,(Sunday) and will return on the first of February. We would appreciate your prayers for safe travel, health, and for God to move through me, communicating God's love to His impoverished and oppressed people.  I will be overseeing the final plans and preparations for the opening of the Marose Market Place, a multifaceted sustainability project that will lift up hard working Haitian families with jobs, and job training, and many new entrepreneurial opportunities.  YES! Haiti does have the will and motivation to turn their nation back to God, and to a higher quality of life, and together we are helping them do it. Thank you. Blessings, Mike and Chris

 

 

Hello,

Hope you had a nice Christmas. We wanted to share some exciting news with you. We have recently partnered with a well drilling ministry that has been unable to operate due to the unstable political environment. Because of our connections and ministry in Haiti we have been able to hire local crews to begin drilling wells and providing clean drinking water to nearby small villages that previously had none.

In Haiti accessible clean drinking water is a huge problem. This well drilling operation is now, providing;

· Clean healthy drinking water for families that did not have it yesterday.

· Sustainable jobs for skilled and unskilled workers, who previously had none.

· The ability for an increased number of children who can go to school, instead of hauling buckets of water for miles.

· Dramatic increased farming yields, by season, and by year.

· Creating a much higher economic level of community independence.  

In the last few months we have been able to drill four wells in different community areas. And we have also successfully drilled our first high volume agricultural well for the farmer’s association across the river from our headquarters. This well alone will double the current produce, and will affect over 200 family farms, and thousands of community members. It will also be producing feed for our Market Place egg production, and our Tilapia fish farm. Also, we have been approached by companies wanting to contract with us to grow Soybeans and Red Habanero Peppers. The far reaching impact of these wells are literally changing the economic status of an entire region. 

We would love to have you join us If this good news touches your heart as much as it has ours, Consider giving specifically to well drilling through www.newgenerationhaiti.org
And as the year comes to an end we would like to thank you for your faithful support, both financially and prayerfully. We are so blessed to have you partnering with us.
Blessings for the new Year,
Mike and Chris

 

Merry Christmas From The Children's Village

 

 Merry Christmas, 

Hope this finds you well. We want to thank you for all of your faithful prayers. We are so very grateful for your coming alongside of us and the people of Haiti.

Our Children's Village has recently been gone over with a fine tooth comb by IBESR, Haiti's central authority for adoption in Haiti and their version of CPS (social services). They randomly check all orphanage's in the country of Haiti. After months of visitations, inspections and paperwork we once again received the highest level of approval which is green. We are so thrilled to be able to share this news with you. 

Some of you have been asking how you can bless the children in the Children's Village this Christmas. Our Christmas list for the Children's Village is on our website. Thank you for desiring to bring Joy and Blessings to the children this Christmas.

We love and appreciate each and everyone of you.

Blessings, Mike and Chris

 

Merry Christmas

ORPHAN SUNDAY

Erwins and Sunday

Sunday and Kevins

 

 Hello,

It is Orphan Sunday today.
So, I wanted to highlight an orphan in our Children's Village. We call him Sunday, because he came from the streets into the Children's Village on a Sunday, and the only information we could get out of him was Sunday. He was such a scared little guy. When he first arrived he had an infected scab covering 1/2 his face. He had obviously come from an abusive situation. The other children teased him and called him yellow hair.

He slowly learned to trust us and know he was safe and would be able to eat. It wasn't long before his Cheshire grin won over everyone, his personality went with his grin and the magenta flared sweatpants that we had to practically peel off of him to wash, they were his favorite pants to wear, those or pajama bottoms. :) He has been such a cheerful, happy and helpful child. He has grown into a confident young man now and is attending high school. We have been so blessed by those of you who have chosen to sponsor a child and allow them opportunities in life that they otherwise would not have.

The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy Chapter 10, that "God is the Defender of the Orphan." But God calls each one of us to partner with Him in the care for the least of these around the globe.

Thanks to your help, New Generation Ministries has been partnering with God to care for the least of these in Haiti since 2008. The Good Shepherd Children's Village is a safe and healthy environment for more than 60 orphaned children, who are receiving the love, care, and education they need to grow into confident young men and women.

November is "Defend the Orphan Awareness Month," and November 7th is "Orphan Sunday." Please take this opportunity to partner with God, and New Generation Ministries in Haiti, to ensure that the children like Sunday really do receive the love, care, and education they need. You can change the story of their lives from Orphan, to confident young men and women. Be about changing history to His-Story...   
Blessings, Chris
