We now know the groups after December’s draw. England have been put together with Belgium, Tunisia and Panama in Group G.

Gareth Southgate’s side were not among the top seeds, meaning they featured in pot two during the proceedings.

And with England’s route now mapped out, Southgate will be able to ramp up preparations for the 2018 tournament. 2018 World cup, football News ,Gaming ,Betscore ,Casino …..Sports.vin

The people of Haiti welcomed the Grace Chapel Team with open hands and open hearts. This team was unique because it was not only the first time women served as team members from GC but also the first time NHMI hosted women seminars.  These women of faith ~ Kathy, Lisa, Carol, Ruth, and Nikki ~ brought with them a message of renewed hope and steadfast joy as they taught the Haitian women their true identity in Christ.  Affirmation from God’s Word: “I am special.” “I am not alone.” “I am God’s masterpiece.” “I am not condemned.” “I am pure.” “I am forgiven.”  More than 260 women attended these meetings.  Over half of them came forward to confess decisions of recommitment and salvation.  How we praise God for the victories won in Christ!

The construction team completed the Biley School renovation. These men of God ~ Matt H., Tim, Del, Paul, Matt B., and Robert ~ put the new roof on the Biley School.  Led by Del Hardin, they did a remarkable job as they built and mounted 34 trusses on the original Biley structure (built in 1991).  This was in compliance with government safety standards.

Pastor Myron and Tim also facilitated a day and a half seminar with the NHMI church leadership.  What a God given time of encouragement and instruction!  Finally, the team was able to share in the joy of village evangelism and food distribution for the villages of Biley and Chaufway.  As they shared the tangible love of Jesus, many people received prayer and bags of food.

Anchor Scripture ~ Team Verse:  “Those people who live in darkness will see a great light. They live in a place covered with the shadows of death, but a light will shine on them.” Matthew 4:16    … and to God be the glory, great things He hath done!

It’s scheduled for this Sunday – September 28th. One of the NHMI church partners, Prairie Ridge Christian Union Church, is hosting an area wide pumpkin sale to raise money for the sponsorship of their two precious Haitian children, Cenise Petit Frere and Evans Louis.  Who is doing it? It’s an outreach of their youth group nicknamed The F.R.O.G.S.  (translated that means “Full Rely On God Squad”).

Pastor Mike Duncan shares that it is such a blessing to see their youth become involved in the NHMI sponsorship program.  They understand now that “it is more blessed to give” than to receive.  He shares that the entire congregation has taken an interest not only through their sponsorship involvement but also been blessed by their partnership with the Mission.

We just want to thank this church family for their active participation in child sponsorship, pastoral development, and general financial assistance each and every month … You have encouraged our hearts through your sacrificial spirit of consistent giving!

In Missouri, the last Sunday in August marked the end of these two initiatives for our church families.  One church “celebrated” the funds they raised on behalf of Change 4 Change with a hula dance competition between their lead pastor (Ralph Morris) and assistant pastor/worship team leader (Travis Morris-Ralph’s son).  This you tube video just had to be shared with you – it’s short and a lot of fun!  Tune in for the Change for Change: Hula Dance: http://youtu.be/vqU1nIvPTg8

To our Beloved Ministry Partners:

• Pictures will be posted on Facebook. 
• Progress and praise updates will be in the October newsletter.

Child Sponsorship/Education.  With almost 500 children in the child sponsorship program, we want to express our appreciation for YOU.  Your sponsorship and financial partnership does make a difference!  Because of your generous help in the “Change for Change” initiative as well as the Backpack Challenge, our teachers are equipped to begin the 2014-2015 school year.

“Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths: Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior…”  Psalm 25:4,5a

The results are in.  94% of NHMI sixth graders passed the government tests which enables them to continue on with their academic studies in secondary education (7^th through 13^th grade).  Because education is the icon of success in Haitian culture, this is a very important milestone for our students to achieve.

 As we shared previously, Creole Bibles were provided as a gift to all 6^th grade graduates of the schools.  How we thank each child sponsor as well as Sunday School groups, church families, etc. who give so generously to help these precious children not only survive but thrive in very difficult circumstances.  Please join us in prayer as we ask God to continue to show them His ways and guide them in His truth!

                                

Dear Beloved Friends of the Mission:

Daryl Baumann, NHMI Administrative Assistant, is in Haiti this week. Primary objectives for his trip includes:

Child Sponsorship.  As the amount of sponsored children has increased to almost 500, it is vital to connect, interact, and enable our field child sponsorship coordinators ~ Paul Guerrier and Elsie Lubin ~ to accomplish the tasks set before them.

Pastoral Connection.  Because NHMI is a Haitian empowered ministry, Daryl will be meeting with the pastoral staff on Wednesday for ministerial updates and pro active interaction regarding ministry vision.

Construction. As we prepare for the 2014-2015 school year in Haiti, there are definite needs for school building repairs and a storage facility. He will be meeting with our field coordinator, Jacquelin Valmyr, for estimates and project preparation.

Making an Eternal Difference – “See” it on Facebook.  Missions Assistant, Rachelle Baird, is creating albums to highlight different aspects of ministry partnership.  Please like and share FB with us ~ thank you!  

Let’s praise the Lord together ~ His mercies endure forever!

A Note of Appreciation: We are so grateful to Office Depot and the Office Depot Foundation for the gift of free sackpacks to all of our Kindergarten and 1^st grade students through their National Backpack Program.  Thank you so much for your partnership … and to Bob Golden, a precious friend of the Mission, who made sure it happened :-)!
