The year was 1983 when George and Jeanne DeTellis left the United States and went to Haiti with whatever they could carry on the plane.
They lived in tents and started a church the first Sunday they were there. A banner hanging nearby read, “Haiti: Hope in God.” Who could have imagined how God would bless such humble beginnings!
Today, those tents are a distant memory. More than 30 years later, New Missions has over 30 churches and elementary schools, high schools, medical clinics, a Bible college, as well a professional trade school.
