Yearly Mission
Haven of Hope - This is a children’s home in Port-au-Prince, Haiti run by DSM Ministries. They currently provide safety and care for 62 children in the two Haven of Hope homes, one for boys and one for girls, in that gang controlled city. The House of Hope is being transitioned into a school for the children, grades 1-6 to provide a safer and more consistent learning setting. The older boys are helping to build desks for the school, the older girls are helping to clean and organize the space. The children see the love of Jesus first hand in the care they receive.

Quarterly missions are missionaries that your Mission Committee chooses each quarter to learn more about and to support financially and with prayer. Seed money is provided from the Mission Committee’s budget and attenders at God Gathering Place donate if or as the Lord leads. Any monies given during that quarter designated for missions is sent by our treasurer to that specific
missionary after the quarter has ended.
Noah, Jill, Hazel, and Henri Ellenwood – they serve with Josiah Venture in
Montenegro. They will be home on furlough this fall and will be worshipping with us on October 26. Come join us to meet this family and learn how they are seeing God work in their city and guiding them with outreaches to those who do not yet know Jesus.
Noah grew up as a Josiah Venture (JV) missionary kid in the Czech Republic, and Jill grew up in Peoria, Illinois. They met at her home church while in college. They dated for a few months and realized that they had differing visions of their futures, so they broke up to let God begin working in each of their lives individually. After doing summer English Camp internships in Czech in 2016, God sparked a shared desire in each of them to dedicate their lives to ministering to the students of Central and Eastern Europe. They soon began to know, with certainty, that God had made them for this ministry together. They were married a year and a half later and began praying for and pursuing opportunities to visit Montenegro, a small country in the Balkans—where less than 300 people have a personal relationship with Jesus. They moved to Podgorica, the capital city, and began working with the local church in January of 2020. Noah and Jill have grown a deep love for this country and its people. Their vision is to see God draw them back to himself through the local church. Noah and Jill’s prayer for this ministry is that God would use them to spur on a revival in the hearts of young leaders to lead their families, peers, and nation to Jesus forevermore.Sample text.
