Future of Dallas Plemmons Ministries
Larry & Nancy Craig
Our main focus is the area which is with the most need, Haiti. They are the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Since the earthquake in February, there are more orphans than ever. Our church and school in Saut d’eau, which is around 50 miles outside of Port au Prince. We have 178 children enrolled for the 2018/2019 school year in grades Kindergarten through sixth. We are beginning plans to start construction of the upper school which will be grades seventh through twelfth. Since reopening the school, the attendance at our church as tripled and they are outgrowing the current building. We will need to start construction to expand within the next year. Pastor Roosevelt has been pastoring the church in Saut d' eau for over 30 years and oversees the school there along with his daughter Rose and son Jacob.
Immediate projects:
•Rebuilding of church in Saut d' eau, Haiti
•Construction of high school (grades 7 through 12)
•Construction of mission house on property in Saut d'Eau
•Construction of furniture factory to employ locals in Saut d'Eau
•Vehicle – This must be a diesel, 4-door, 4-wheel drive for Haiti
We believe it is God’s will this work continues in Haiti. Without us and people like you these children will not have a fighting chance of survival in their world. It must continue for His name sake. Everything we do must be for His glory or it is for naught. Dallas ran a good race, he fought a good fight but before he finished his course he passed his baton to us so that now we must continue in the race if we are to finish our course. We are asking for your prayers and support for carrying on Dallas’ work for the Lord. Please pray and open your hearts to what God would have you do to help us continue this ministry.
