New School Year


We are rejoicing in God's faithfulness. Our New Life Bible school has started with a bang. We have 51 first year students and a total enrollment of 141 students. Praise the Lord! This is amazing when you consider the very oppressed economy of Haiti. Some Bible schools have closed and others are struggling to stay open. These are hard times.

We ask that you pray for the students in our New Life Bible school. Pray that God provides for their schooling and their families. Our students pay $110 a semester, this does not include their $75 entrance fees. This is a considerable amount from them when you consider the average daily wage in Haiti is only $2.00. Many would not be coming if it wasn't for those more fortunate in their families paying their schooling. Also, we thank all of you who sponsor Bible school students. You need to realize their is no financial aid available or loans for students going to school in this country. It all has to be paid in hard earned cash.

Yet, amazingly enough, God seems to provide for our students. Yes, there are those who drop out because they are unable to pay and many others who never come because they can't afford it. If it wasn't for the destitute situation that many believers face in this country, I believe we would have twice as many students in New Life Bible school. There is a real hunger here for God's Word.
