Future of Dallas Plemmons Ministries
Lunch at The School of the Good Shepherd
Our main focus is the area which is with the most need, Haiti. Our school in Saut d'Eau, The School of the Good Shepherd, has 198 children enrolled from kindergarten to the 6th grade for the 2021/2022 school year. Not only are we educating their minds, we are also introducing them to Christ by incorporating Bible study into the curriculum. We serve the students lunch which in some cases is the only meal that child will eat that day. We do all of this free of charge so we are able to reach the poorest of the poor.
Since reopening the school, the attendance at our church has tripled and they are outgrowing the current building. We have started the construction on the new church building which will seat approximately 300 people. Pastor Roosevelt has been the pastor at the church in Saut d' eau for over 35 years and oversees the school there along with his daughter Rose and son Jacob. Jacob is now co-pastoring the church alongside his father.
