Dear Friend and Family,

We apologize that it has been several weeks since you have heard any news from Haiti, however we have had many activities going on, and have just now found the time to update you.

Some of you may know that for some time we have had a young Haitian boy living with us and helping us in our ministry. Jeemps was from another part of Haiti, and I had known him since he was just a young boy. He came to Depsinos about two years ago, and began working along side us, helping interpret, helping with bible studies, working in the clinic pharmacy and in many other areas. He has been such an asset to our ministry.

He had begun studying in a school here in Haiti to be a pastor, but after the earthquake the school was destroyed. It is not easy to find a good, sound bible college in Haiti to send him to. Even before the earthquake we had begun to try to get him into the states and into God's Bible School and College in Cincinnati, OH. (Where we attended.)  In the month of April we began to correspond with the school on what papers he would need etc, but getting a visa during this time has not been very easy.

After a lot of prayer, and hard work, Jeemps was accepted to GBS in August! We quickly began to take the necessary steps to get his visa, and after much expense and many prayers later, he was granted his visa two days before needing to arrive at the school! God worked it all out, we were able to get tickets and get him to GBS!

This is a blessing to Haiti Gospel Mission, because it’s the first time in the history of the mission that it has helped someone further their education to this degree! We are confident Jeemps will do his very best and will succeed, and will follow his dream to come back and help minister to his people. He has such a heart for ministry and for those who are in need.

Going to The United States was a huge change for him! He was very surprised at our road system, and the fact that there were no security walls surrounding houses! He has just completed his first week at college, and he is very excited. There was a revival for the first week, and he really enjoyed it.

We ask that you please keep him in your prayers; he is very far from home, eating unfamiliar foods, with all new friends etc… Please pray also that he will have the necessary funds to succeed. God answered prayer and made it possible to get him to school, and many wonderful people pitched in and helped with the expense.  However, there are many expenses ahead of him. He has received a scholarship from the school that will really help with his expenses and he will be working in the school work program as well.

We really have no way of communication with him other than email and Facebook, because he does not have a phone in his dorm room. However he has been given a cell phone, it just needs to be activated. We can get him a simple plan where he would be able to receive phone calls from us and his family, but it will cost $40 a month.  We are looking for 4 or 5 people that would be able to give $5 or $10 a month to help him be able to have the phone. If you are interested, please just contact me and let me know. If any of you would like to write to Jeemps (I know he would love to get some mail) His address is :

You can also find him on Facebook as well. Please pray for him and write if you are able. Please pray for us too. While we are happy to have him go and study, it leaves a big hole in our ministry, and also our family. He had grown very dear to us and it’s not the same without him here!

One more prayer request— This week we will have our annual convention for the mission. Just as Satan fights in our churches in America, he is fighting here as well. Pray that there will be much accomplished spiritually in this convention. Also, please don't forget to pray for the new converts and those that will be baptized on Sunday! We will have over 40 that will be baptized after spending 6 months in baptism classes.

Jeemps in a new suit!

Thank you so much for your prayers and concern!
