New Missions

What is it?  New Missions was founded in 1983 by George and Jeanne DeTellis who traveled to Haiti to share the Gospel of man’s redemption through Jesus Christ, establish churches and grow disciples.  God blessed the ministry’s humble beginnings and today, New Missions includes over 30 churches, elementary schools, high schools, medical clinics, a Bible college and a professional trade school.  The ministry approach begins by planting a locally-led church in a new community.  This is followed by the establishment of a school, which brings hope and a pathway out of grinding poverty for local residents.  Finally, leaders are equipped and empowered to make their communities better as they invest in others and become role models for the next generation. 

Where is it?  As noted above, New Missions operates in more than 30 communities throughout Haiti.  Cornerstone has been blessed to invest in the community of Concrab.
