Mission Statement


Mission Statement for Haiti We believe that we exist to obey the Great Commandment (to love God and to love our neighbors), and to fulfil the Great Commision (to make disciples of all people)... And there is no greater need for the good news of the gospel than in Haiti.

Theology


Our Theology All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry..that God was reconciling the world until himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he committed to us the message of reconciliation. 2Cor. 5:14-2

Our Strategy


Spiritual, Educational, Social and Economic Reform To establish spiritually mature, Christ-centered churches that are able to initiate, sustain, and reproduce church planting movements. As churches mature and reproduce they will be able to provide the leadership necessary for reform in Haiti.

Praise Reports


2006 was a great year - Glory to God Please remember to pray, prayers of thanks to the Lord, for an amazing year of provision for the seminary and for the safety that was provided to all the visiting teams and missionaries. God is good

It is with excitement and saddness that we are preparing to leave Haiti again. This will be the last blog post as it is too difficult to do from home in Canada. All of us here at OMS Haiti thank each and everyone that has brought this project this far. We praise the Lord for His provison in finances and with workers. The many people who have come to work on this project here in Haiti, the many people that continue to support this project financially and the many people who continue to cover this project with prayer ....THANKS.......God willing the construction will be complete next spring and ready for the school year in September 2009.

Keep in touch..Jussi and Colleen

Summer is here

It is another warm and sunny day in Haiti. The seminary work just keeps amazing me, with so many hands, the fellowship, fun and willingness of all makes it all manageable The roofs have been finished, except for the final pour on the men's dorm, which if the weather holds, is on deck for Monday. The Christner family just left after a week of sanding and painting, we recently had Rick and Kacha and now we have Neil here doing seminary construction but the teams have slowed for this part of the summer. Once again we Praise the Lord for all the people who give, who pray and who come and build. This project would only be a dream, instead of the reality it is becoming. Please continue to pray for the Lord to call workers, for strength for Gord and Dan (who is doing triple duty for the summer) for finances, and for Dr. Bill, the staff, and all the students at the seminary.

Concrete Pour

Well the second floor pour had a bit of a slow start with a torrential downpour the morning of, but the Lord blessed the crew with good weather this last week and work was done. The second floor is now poured and ready for when more housing is needed. The library has windows and the adminstration building has the entrance complete. It is once again time to stand and marvel at God's provision. The finances, the safety of the Haitian workers and the arrival of the MFM teams when the manpower is needed. Please remember to pray for the seminary staff now as they are busy working through the applicants for the next school year and getting this school year complete and graduation plans. Our anniversary plans are in final preparation stages, please pray for the travels of all who will be attendingk, and the Lord will be glorified for ALL He has done in Haiti in the last 50 years.

PTL The containers have been released

It has been a busy month with teams from Canada and Greenwood, and the crew featured in the latest photos, Ohio, and Canada. West coasters at that. We rarely get visitors from back home in BC. I am thankful for Garry's and Grant's help in getting these pictures to post. I am not good at climbling towers, not to say anything about dress code, and skirts. We had sent out several prayer requests for customs to release the containers and Praise the Lord, they have arrived. We now have door frames, 2X4's and sheet metal for roofing, and all the other things we were waiting on.

We have another team this month, from Canada, and then in May a few more, plus our 50th Anniversary Celebration, of OMS in Haiti! Exciting stuff, stay tuned for more postings and blogs. Please dont hesitate to send pictures of your team, so I can post them up too. yrjanahaiti@hotmail.com

Blessings, C

Another Sunny Friday in HAITI

Another sunny day in Haiti and we have been blessed to have more construction pictures of the seminary. It amazes me each week to see the progress and I know many of the visitors marvel at what has been accomplished thus far, and for that we give God the Glory. I am thankful that Jake was willing to climb the tower today so I didn't have to. He climbed higher than usual, so these are rare shots of the seminary and the neighborhood, front gate etc. Look for the picture of Neil working away... a MFM'er this week, and the tractor that looks like a toy because of the height.... Thanks Jake and thanks to all that have been part of the teams that so willingly come and give of their time and their talents.
