A New House for New Horizon Home
It is hard to believe, at times, that just one year ago Eastside Baptist Church began her first overseas ministry post. We have surely been partnered with others who do similar work around the world. We have without a doubt been to many places in the past decade. But New Horizon International was first birthed from the painful experience God walked this faithful body of believers through over four years ago. For the past 12 months God has provided beyond what we could ask or imagine. There are 20 beautiful girls who trust God to provide for their needs at New Horizon Home in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
We have paid a month-to-month rent to Mr. Touze, our landlord, for the past 12 months. He’s been very kind and generous. We pray that God will bless him and his ongoing business adventures.
The Lord’s people at Eastside Baptist Church have been faithfully following the Lord in this God sized ministry.
Late last week our director at New Horizon Home, Alex, signed paper work to begin taking possession of a permanent address. A place the girls will call home, God willing, as they grow in favor with Him. New Horizon Home will pay $5,000.00 per year for the coming 10 years for our new house. May the Lord show his faithfulness and glory with as much joy as he has these past 12 months. May his favor rest upon this home.
Here are a few photos of our new home. We are aiming at May 10, 2014 as our moving in day. There are a few mild repairs to be done and a lot of dusting and cleaning. But before long… this house will become home to our girls.

New Horizon Baptist Church
Hey Eastside Baptist Church, meet our extended family in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Silas, Bianca and I had the privilege of gathering with our new church plant while there last Sunday. We will share more on Sunday, November 10, 2013.
New Horizon International
I’m excited to introduce you to New Horizon International. New Horizon International (NHI) is a new ministry born in the heart of a dear friend of mine, Alex Veillard. I first met Alex outside an orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 2010. Over the past nine years Alex and I have had many experiences together.
Our friendship began as a result of hardship. An gospel response to a natural disaster is what sent me to Haiti and it was a global media response to the false arrest of 10 Americans that sent Alex to minister to us when few were willing to even admit they knew us. These events were used of God to glue us together with the blood of Christ as brothers.
In the past few years many things have developed in our lives. Both of my sons have married, Alex has married, now has four sons, and now a common desire for the nations to hear the gospel has crossed our paths. This is New Horizon International.
NHI starts and finishes with the gospel. The gospel is the reason and purpose.
We are in the beginning days of developing New Horizon International. But in these early days, New Horizon International has already birth New Horizon Home. New Horizon Home is a children’s home for girls. Currently NHH has 60 girls. These girls are of those in Haiti who are at great risk. They have been abandoned or rescued from the early days of slavery and child trafficking.
Eastside Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho has responded to the invitation from the Lord to partner with New Horizon International in obligations of rent, food, education, healthcare, and spiritual needs of these 60 girls. We are pleased to know that God who has invited us to join Him in this gospel work will provide all that is needed. May the Lord be pleased to find a man in Port-au-Prince, Haiti willing to obey Him. May the Lord be pleased to awaken 60 girls at New Horizon Home willing to trust Him. May the Lord be pleased to find a people in Twin Falls, Idaho willing to join Him in global gospel work. May the Lord be pleased as we all find our joy in Him.
Orphan Care is Gospel Reenactment
“When we were on the outside without hope and home, Jesus brought us into his family (Ephesians 2:12-13, 19). What Jesus did for us is the Gospel.
Today there are millions of orphans in the world without hope and home. When we give orphans hope, when we bring orphans into our families, we reenact the Gospel.
When a church provides hope and homes to children lost in the foster care system, it reenacts the Gospel.
When churches create partnerships with other churches around the world in order to care for orphans, the Gospel is reenacted many times over before a watching world.
Orphan care is Gospel reenactment.” (Source: Dan Cruver, 2009)
12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (Eph 2:11-13 NASB)
