Taking care of one another is a priority at GNG. Our newly formed Extension Ministry is working on ways to be a benefit to those in the local community as well as those abroad.

International Partnership
The GNG Extension Ministry recently decided to partner with LaCroix New Testament Mission in Haiti. Many years ago, when Vaugelas Pierre passed by LaCroix, he wondered
about the existence of the people of that community-how they lived,
what they ate, what they drank, and how they survived. God challenged
him with this verse: "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the Harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field." (Matt. 9:37-38)
It has been the vision and dream of Pastor Pierre to make a better life for the people of Haiti. Since being called to serve in the Lord's harvest field at LaCroix near the end of 1975, God has made it clear to Pierre that He wanted a school for children whose parents couldn't afford to send them. Since that time, he has seen the schools grow from less than 200 children to over 3,500 by Miraculous Provision!
As administrator and overseer of the seven schools, seven churches, and a medical in the LaCroix area, his ongoing burden for the people of the community is many faceted:
• Education
• Hot Meal Program
• Medical Attention
• Spiritual Needs
Currently, individuals and families at GNG are monthly sponsoring over 50 children through LaCroix New Testament Mission. This $20 per month sponsorship ensures your child receives an education, medical treatment and a hot meal. You can sponsor a child as well; find out how.
