Rev. Jean Berthony Paul, known to his friends as Pastor Thony, is the founder and president of Mission Evangelique du Nord d’Haiti (Evangelical Mission of Northern Haiti or MENH). [click to view their current newsletter, Volume 1, Issue 2]  The mission was established in 1979 in the community of Grande Riviere du Nord near the town of Plaine du Nord (about 10 miles from Cap Haitian), known in Haiti as the capital of voodoo.

The Jehovah Shammah Children’s Home (JSCH), a government registered organization in South India, was established by the late Mr. B. Azariah and his wife Salome. The doors of the home were opened to the first 49 children in 1972. Reminded by scripture of the admonition to care for orphans in their distress, the founders felt that they must rescue as many of the helpless and destitute as possible. In later years, as support allowed, JSCH housed and cared for as many as 250 children at a time.

The work as we know it today began when Pastor Frank was asked to serve a 46-member church in one of the poorest parts of his state. The congregants, primarily from Dalit background, were people of very limited means and even less influence. But Frank persevered and the church began to grow and to serve others in the area. Three decades later the mother-church has over 1500 members and has been responsible for planting another 20+ churches or mission stations.

Good News Theological College and Seminary is an interdenominational pastoral and theological institution located on the outskirts of Accra, Ghana. Its mission is to provide sound Christ centered biblical education to church workers and leaders, fully equipping both men and women with ministerial, spiritual, and theological training for servant leadership in the African context.

February 2009, update: Relief and recovery continues in both Haiti and Burma following the hurricanes and cyclones of 2008.  Our partners are attempting to assist in the rebuilding of homes, churches and schools and continue to provide food aid as able where crops have not yet recovered from the devastation.

Funds are need to assist pastors and evangelists serving in unreached regions who face great hardship as well as persecution. 

The work on the library in Ghana continues only when funds are available.  We had hoped to make it possible for them to move into the new facility in the fall of 2008 but additional funds are still needed to complete the structure. 

The Jehovah Shammah Children's Home in India is struggling to keep up with expenses and needs urgent help in order to meet the immediate needs of the children. 

 See current newsletters and current prayer requests for additional needs.

Abraham’s life was to change forever when he experienced a profound Christian conversion and completely handed his life over to Christ! 

An evangelist and church planter, with the help of his wife, launched a home Sunday school program that serves as many as one hundred children. Family members of the children will occasionally attend the gospel meeting held each Sunday. Many of those attending are seeking truth. Please pray that God’s truth will be revealed.

In addition to the weekly services at the church, the evangelist travels to speak in major institutions to present the gospel using videos, DVDs, and other tools that have been provided. Additional cell churches have been established as a result of this work. Please pray for these outreaches.

He has invited us to bring a team to conduct some workshops in a neutral place while also warning that it would be unwise to have foreigners visit his churches due to possible repercussions from radical non-Christian elements.

He has need for additional equipment and funding to allow for a helper in the work.
