Your Help Needed: Fully Fund Module Six for the Haiti Bible Institute
Dear Friends of On Target Ministry,
Today we need your help. We are conducting Module Six of the Haiti Bible Institute in just four weeks, and we are still $7,000 short of the need to fully pay for this module. Will you help us with a generous donation? We want to continue to operate this school and compete our mission to fully train Haitian pastors in the truths of God’s Word.
We are excited to announce that Module Six will be taught entirely by our Haitian Faculty. These four men are excellent teachers, and the students will benefit greatly hearing truth taught in their own language.
It is still unsafe for us to travel to Haiti because if the perilous political situation there. The Kenyan army has arrived with 1,000 peacekeepers, so we are hoping to see improvement in the days ahead. I will be monitoring the classes by video over the internet. The blessing is that God has allowed us to equip a fully trained faculty for such a time as this.
Thank you for your prayers and giving. Please help us maintain this unique and much needed ministry in Haiti. We are offering help and hope for this needy country in a very tangible way: by bringing truth to the Haitian people.
Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna
I’m (Not) Leavin’ on a Jet Plane – Read more about our recent adventure in Haiti
Dear Friends of On Target Ministry,
Please click on this link to see an excellent account written by Anneliese Rider about our recent adventure in Haiti.
https://www.moody.edu/alumni/connect/summer-24/not-leavin/
This was published in Moody Alumni News yesterday.
Be sure to read the final paragraph since it speaks about our on-going commitment to ministry in Haiti and the Haiti Bible Institute. We are planning to hold Module 6 on schedule in September/October 2024.
To make this module happen, we will need funds to pay for the module, so your continued financial support is more important than ever. So many have given up on Haiti, but we have not. We believe God still has a plan for us there to continue training national pastors for ministry. Haiti needs the truth, and we are there to make sure there are well-trained pastors who know the truth and preach it boldly and confidently.
Your prayers for Haiti are more important that even, and your faithful giving will help us sustain this unique and much needed ministry. Thank you for your participation in our ministry!
Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna

Trouble in Haiti
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We have run into some trouble in Haiti this trip. Gang violence has caused the airport to completely shut down and cancel all airline service. We were supposed to fly home March 7th, but now we are booked for March 22nd. Assuming they fly on that date, we will be out of the country for quite a while.
Please pray for us. We are currently in a safe place, and we thank the Lord for that. Our physical needs are being met here. But of course, we want to get home. It would be great to know that you all will be praying for us that we can return home quickly and safely. Thank you, and God bless you.
Grace and Peace,
Doc and Anna

Approaching the end of our 17th year of ministry
Dear Friends of On Target Ministry,
As we approach the end of the year, we are excited to see how God is still using this ministry for His glory in training national pastors overseas. The ministry in Colombia is going well and we are looking forward to more teaching there in 2024. The Haiti Bible Institute has reached the halfway point in training the pastors in Cohort 4. It is so encouraging to see the enthusiasm our pastoral students have for learning the Word of God.
As we are approaching the end of our 17th year of ministry, we would love to share a few ways you can help us finish 2023 strong.
- Look ahead on your calendar and plan to attend our “Love for Haiti” banquet February 10, 2024, at NOON at Fellowship Baptist Church in Lakeland, Florida. We have planned a great banquet for you to show you firsthand the success of the Haiti Bible Institute. We will have a guest speaker from Haiti. You will also hear from some of our Haitian Faculty.
- Call, text, or email me that you plan to come so we can add you to the guest list. We planned this banquet for you, and I know it will be a blessing and encouragement to you to see how your investments in this ministry are advancing the cause of Christ. (715-558-2227 or [email protected])
- If you cannot attend, please consider sending a special donation to On Target Ministry to help with the expense of Module 5 which takes place at the end of February 2024. This would be a great help to us to receive your special gift before yearend.
- Invite someone to come to the banquet with you! What a great way to introduce someone to this unique ministry.
- Pray that God will faithfully continue to meet our needs to carry on this important work.
Thank you all for your faithful support. We hope to see you at the banquet so we can thank you in person!
Grace and peace.
