Dear Friends of On Target Ministry,

Over this week, Anna and I and the professors will be traveling to Haiti for Module 8 and Graduation of Cohort 3 at the Haiti Bible Institute. This is a critical time in Haiti, and we need your prayers for the safety of the professors and students as we gather for the final module in their Bible education.

We still need $4,000 to pay for this module. It is very important that you pray with us that God will provide this need. The work we are doing there is bearing much fruit, and your support is much needed at this time.

If you can help us with an extra gift at this time, it would be a great testimony to the continuing provision of God for this ministry. You can send a check to Faith Community Foundation or Donate online.

God is doing great things in Haiti, and we are delighted that you are supporting us with your prayers and gifts. Thank you.

Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna

Dear Friends of On Target Ministry,

We are at a crucial crossroads in our ministry in Haiti. The current climate of unrest has raised many concerns. However, at this moment we are still planning to go this October and complete the training of our Cohort 3 students and graduate them.

Please read the new newsletter and pray for us! We need God to intervene and make it possible for us to make this trip. God is great and can do this. God’s people can help us through prayer.

You can also help by giving. We have $10,400 for this module, but we need $20,000. So, your support is more important than ever!

Let us hear from you. Knowing that you are praying for us and supporting our work will be a great encouragement.

Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna

Dear Friends of OTM,

We have returned from another successful teaching trip to Haiti. This edition of International Update reports on all the good things God is doing for and through the Haiti Bible Institute. Please read it and rejoice with us for the grace of God that makes this ministry possible.

We are starting our collection of funds necessary to pay for the next module which will be the Graduation Module in October! This module will be the culmination of four years of intense study of the Word of God, and the 15 men who will graduate have earned this honor. Already $4,400 has been received. We need a total of $20,000. It would be a blessing if you would help us by sending a donation. The easiest way to do this is to click on our secure DONATE button and send your gift.

Anna and I are so encouraged at all the progress we are experiencing in our school in Haiti. You will see from the letter that the plan to incorporate Haitian teachers in moving along very well. Praise God!

Thank you for your loyal support of this ministry. It is only because of the generous giving of those who share our vision that we can continue to make an impact for the cause of Christ in Haiti! Thank you.

Grace and peace,

Dear Friends of OTM,

As the headline in this edition of International Update declares: God provided all the need for the upcoming Module 7 at the Haiti Bible Institute. Great things are happening at HBI and we are regularly using graduate students from our Master’s program to teach in the school. This is a testament to the faithfulness of God’s Word where God commands us to teach faithful men who will teach others also. This is now happening in the Haiti Bible Institute as well as in pulpits all over the nation of Haiti. What God has commanded, God blesses. We rejoice at your faithful financial support that makes this ministry possible. Thank you all!

Please click on the newsletter link and download this issue. Read it, then share it with others. You can be a great help to us by introducing others who love the Word of God to what we are doing in Haiti. That would be a great way to help us.

We will be traveling to Haiti March 15. Pray for us as we jump through all the Covid hoops. Pray that God will keep us safe and healthy so we can go and return home without delay.

Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna

Dear Friends of OTM,

We praise God that once again we are able to travel to Haiti in February and conduct the next teaching module at the Haiti Bible Institute. What a blessing to have this privilege. As you know, we need your financial help to pay the costs of doing this module. The total need is $20,000 and so far, God has blessed us with donations in excess of $10,000. Will you prayerfully consider a donation to help us with the remaining need?

The students in Cohort 3 will be taking Module 7 this February. This means that they have only one more module to complete their Bible training. After four year of faithful study, these men have learned the truth that has revolutionized their teaching ministry and their evangelism in Haiti. When this class graduates in October 2021, they will bring our total number of graduates to 69. Just think of the impact for the cause of Christ!

All our graduates are involved in ministry. Many of them are pastoring churches they have planted. Some have dedicated their lives to church planting. Others have founded Bible Schools in their churches and are regularly training men for the ministry. This is a great testament to the effectiveness of the biblical missions model that God gave us in the Scriptures: commit truth to faithful men who will teach others also. (2 Timothy 2:2)

Pray for us as we travel. Pray for the professors who will be coming with us to teach. Pray for the students that they will learn and grow spiritually. God is doing great things in Haiti and you can be a part of it by your faithful giving and prayers.

Thank you for your interest in On Target Ministry and the Haiti Bible Institute. We appreciate your support and your prayers on our behalf. God is being glorified in our school and we are delighted to see His hand of grace in every way.

Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna

Dear Friends,

This is the most exciting newsletter I have ever been privileged to write! Module 6 in Haiti at the Haiti Bible Institute was a great milestone in our progress and a sign that the brightest days for the school are still ahead of us. Please read and rejoice with us.

God is wonderfully meeting our needs and He is using your faithful giving to accomplish great things in Haiti. In the letter there are heart-warming testimonials from the four Haitian graduates who taught the students in Module 6. This is strong evidence that your generous support of HBI and On Target Ministry has been greatly rewarded by our Great God and Savior! To God be the glory!

Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna

Dear Friends of On Target Ministry,

A great day has arrived for the Haiti Bible Institute, and I want you to hear this amazing news directly from me. Please watch this video and rejoice together with us:

God has done wonderful things in Haiti through the school and through the lives of our pastor/students who are taking the Bible seriously and teaching what they have been taught.

Because we will be holding Module 6 in a different way, our costs for this module are greatly reduced. We still need to rent classroom space and provide an honorarium for our Haitian Teachers who will need to take time off work to prepare and teach. Please help us raise the $5,000 we need for Module 6 by donating what you can. You can use our secure Donate button or send a check to our home office. Thank you for your faithful support.

God has so blessed the Haiti Bible Institute over the past 12 years, and we are excited to see the school taking the next step forward to prepare future generations of pastors to faithfully teach the sound doctrine of the Word of God.

Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna

Dear Friends,

In this edition of International Update I explain how we are effectively using video streaming technology to maintain a full class schedule in Medellin, Colombia and other Latin American sites. While it is always better to be there in person, we are delighted that the students are able to continue their studies uninterrupted. We will be able to maintain continuous teaching online until this virus crisis is over.

You will also see a Coronavirus update for Haiti. Keep praying for our students there as they continue doing the work of the ministry. I have contacted several of them and they are in good spirits serving the Lord with gladness.

We are fully anticipating traveling to Haiti in October for our next scheduled modules. Pray that God allows this and provides the necessary funds to pay for the module.

Thank you so much for faithfully supporting us during this trying time. Anna and I are always depending on God to meet our needs, and your giving is a vital part of God’s provision. We appreciate you very much.

Grace and peace,
Doc

Greetings in the name of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

By now everyone is fully aware of the situation facing our nation (and the world) as we respond to the serious threat of the Coronavirus. It has impacted our nation in ways we could never have foreseen. This is troubling to many people who are at risk of contacting the virus and to those who are suffering loss because of the measures taken to reduce those risks. This purpose of this message is to offer hope at this time of crisis.

At times like these, believers can find great hope in the God of the Bible. Our God is great and in sovereign control of the whole earth. We can take comfort that God is always in control. While we may not understand why God has allowed this to happen, we can be assured that God has a plan. And we know it is a good plan, because, as Scripture reminds us “He does all things well” (Mark 7:37). While you endure these trying times, do not lose focus on the fact that God is at work, and He is working His plan for our good.

Anna and I are using this time to pray for you, our loyal support team, your churches, and our faithful students overseas. We love you and pray that God is being glorified in your lives and ministries. We must never lose faith that God is doing something good. Remember the testimony of Joseph who endured much trouble, yet he explained to his conniving brothers that God is sovereign in all of it.

Genesis 50:19-20 Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.”

God is always good and always working His plan for our good. Nothing can stop God from providentially doing His will. Our confidence comes from the fact that we KNOW this!

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Even in times of trouble we must affirm this biblical truth. And we must live like we believe it! If you truly believe this, then even in times of trouble you can sing hymns, praise God, and rejoice in Him. God is so merciful to inform us of this truth. Apart from this divine revelation, we would be hopeless in times of trouble. We would be doomed to a pagan view of life: “que sera sera.” We would be totally unable to handle trouble. Only a gracious God would inform His children how He works.

We look forward to the day when the crisis is past, and we can once again perform this ministry God has given us to do. The mission of On Target Ministry will continue, and your partnership in training national pastors overseas will continue to bring truth to many. So, take heart and do not be weary in well-doing. Use these days wisely to point people to the Savior and praise His name. Draw closer to God through His Word. And in everything give thanks, for this is also the will of God (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

We are praying for you and your families, and we are confident you are praying for us. To God alone be all the glory.

Grace and peace,
Doc and Anna
