News Flash: 7 Students Prayed to Receive Christ During Bible Class This Week
In September 2024, a Catholic high school principal welcomed CIDM to his school bringing our bible teaching program to his students. This marked our first opportunity to teach at one of the many Catholic schools in Jacmel, Haiti. As a Christian organization and teaching the entire Bible as God’s holy word, we were thrilled to welcome this school into our program. Initially, the administrators sat in observing our Bible classes to ensure alignment with their standards. Both staff and students asked thoughtful questions, demonstrating a genuine belief in Christ and a strong desire to deepen their understanding of biblical truths.
Impressed by the sound biblical instruction with applicability to daily life, the principal included the weekly Bible class for all 280 jr and sr high students, painstakingly adjusting schedules as needed to fit state-required courses.
Interestingly, this school is located on the same street where Dave and I resided from November 2011 to January 2015. Many times daily we’d walk or drive past it, without ever imagining that CIDM would one day be teaching the Bible in that school! God is so good!
A few weeks ago, some students at this Catholic school asked for another hour of bible teaching with the topic: Is God Real? Wow, we rejoice in their thirsty souls for the truth! Please pray along with us that as we teach them with the certainty from God’s Word, they will become strong pillars of faith in their homes, communities and country. DONATE HERE
We just learned this week on our Zoom call with our Delpha and Brisso (2 of our English speaking staff), that on Tuesday morning these Catholic school students began asking many questions about life after death. As Brisso gave scriptures teaching them, seven of the youth accepted Christ as their Savior right then and there. What an amazing time. New young lives for Christ – and they’re invited to grow in their walk with the Lord by attending our Saturday Discipleship group called Lavi Reyel. We rejoice as God is changing Haiti, 1 life at a time. DONATE HERE
Presently, three schools in our neighboring city, Kay Jacmel, are asking us to teach in their schools. View story here
A reluctant high school principal, Mr. Bellevue, who we highlighted in last months newsletter, view story here, will be partnering with CIDM Sept. 2025 for the new school year and beyond. We look forward to the hundreds of students who will be taught for the first time the love, forgiveness and freedom in Jesus Christ alone.
As you can see, God is expanding CIDM’s reach to more youth seeking real answers to life’s questions. God has provided us with exclusive opportunities to teach the youth of Haiti right where they are – in school. To our knowledge, no other organization in all of Haiti is doing this unique ministry God’s led us to. Read more about our Bible teaching program here
