Up to 80 percent of people in Haiti can’t read or write well enough to cope with daily life. Radio plays a vital role in many aspects of life for the Haitian people, including the expansion of the Gospel.

One Mission Society’s Christian radio ministry, Radio 4VEH in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, is this lifeline for more than a million people in Haiti. In addition to the daily Bible readings, Christian music and preaching, Radio 4VEH’s daily announcements about the weather, farming tips and health information have become a practical lifeline to the community for the past six decades.

In early March, the National Religious Broadcasters association (NRB) honored Radio 4VEH with the prestigious International Radio Ministry Award for 2013. This award is presented annually to an organization outside the U.S. that excels in radio ministry, while demonstrating unusual effectiveness in impacting the culture with the Gospel.

“We are honored and grateful for this award,” said Kate Michel, director of Communications and Marketing for Radio 4VEH. “It comes at a critical time in Haiti … after struggling to recover from the 2010 earthquake and ministry challenges for us at the radio station. Not only has this award really encouraged us, but it’s encouraged our listeners too, knowing that they’re part of a community that is impacting their country for Christ.”

Would you like to see Radio 4VEH continue to help Haitians living in northern Haiti receive the true lifeline? Please consider becoming a monthly partner with this ministry, or you can give a special gift today so that the broadcasts can continue to provide life-saving information.

For years, churches, camps, children’s leaders and parents have asked for a resource like this. It is one of the only mission-focused VBS programs available today. Please pass this information on to the person responsible for VBS in your world.

Our GRITs VBS is unique for many reasons:

1. Interactive: The VAULT is our interactive, computerized interface that becomes the fourth character (with a British personality) in the VBS. The VAULT is projected and contains the Bible-based lessons, music, mission lessons, Bible verses and final exams.

2. Missions-based: Rather than simply add on a mission project (which is also included with prayer activities, lessons and more—we’re raising funds for Bibles for Africa), GRITs weaves mission concepts through every aspect of the VBS, including the games, snacks and crafts.

3. Spiritual meat: GRITs contains solid, spiritual meat for kids. The lessons are not Bible stories, but are Bible-based lessons that put mission concepts at kids’ levels, while challenging them to grow their missionary heart.

4. Field-tested: The VBS has been tested for more than seven years in churches and Christian camps with all ages. We suggest the program be used with K- 6^th grade.

5. Complete: The entire VBS is contained on one CD-ROM. It’s like having an instant VBS at your fingertips. You simply need to print out the PDF files that you want to use.

6. Affordable: The complete VBS is sold for the price of a VBS sample kit at $139.99, yet it’s complete. It’s available at Amazon.

7. Prayer: The entire project has been covered in prayer. We want to continue this by including you/your church on our worldwide prayer network. If you let us know when you’re having your GRITs VBS, we will be praying.

Thanks for your prayers. We desire to motivate children to help fulfill the Great Commission through using this GRITs VBS program.

Please contact us if you have questions:info@onemissionsociety.org. One of the best ways to learn about our new VBS is to visit our OMK website: www.onemissionkids.org. Click on the GRITs logo, and you’ll find downloadable samples and a chance to meet the VAULT (the Virtual Access User Life Transformer) that makes our VBS one-of-a-kind.

Ruhi D., 32, and his family are just one of thousands of families suffering from the extremely cold temperatures in South Asia this winter (the lowest temperatures in 45 years). In the midst of this recent cold snap, Ruhi’s family was so happy to receive a blanket. The poorest of the poor in this region barely earn enough to meet their daily needs, let alone have enough to purchase needed blankets.

Because this region of South Asia is tropical, the normal lows at this time of year are around 54 degrees Fahrenheit. This January, temperatures have dipped to around 37 degrees. The people are not prepared for the cold weather, and most homes have no form of heat.

Reports indicate that more than 100 people have already died, most often due to respiratory illnesses. OMS’ goal is to raise enough money to purchase at least 15,000 blankets for distribution by our South Asia ministry partner.

This simple gesture of help speaks volumes to the community. Our partner in this security-risk country, says, “It’s a symbol of love to the poor people of our country. It ensures them that someone loves them.”

Distributing blankets in these times of crisis builds positive relationships with government officials, and often, doors are opened to evangelism as a result.

Will you help us meet this urgent need? Our partners can purchase each blanket for $3.30. Your gift of $20 (or more) to project #405750 ? Blankets for South Asia ? can help save up to 30 people from the devastating cold.

It is with great sorrow that we share of the passing of John Schultz, a great friend and co-worker.  John passed into glory on Wednesday, June 13, 2012 while working at his home. He and wife Lois had just celebrated 47 years of marriage on June 12^th.  He will be sadly missed by all.

John was a member and the current Pastor of Bethany E.C. Church in Barto, PA. He had been the Northeastern Representative for Men for Missions, the layman’s voice of OMS, since 1989 and had traveled to many countries on mission trips around the world. John had also worked for 32 years as a Technical Supervisor for Sears and was a Veteran of the U.S. Army, serving during Vietnam.

Our deepest condolences go out to Lois; his two sons, Jonathan D. Schultz and wife, Karin, of Zionsville; and Andrew H. Schultz and wife, Shannon of Philadelphia; his brother, three sisters, two brother-in-laws, and seven grandchildren.

John’s son Andrew wrote a wonderful tribute to his dad. You can read it by clicking: John Schultz tribute

DESPERATE NEED In Haiti

Our Haiti Field is in desperate need for a very knowledgeable person to come to the field to help with their Internet service.

We are not sure what time it will take to evaluate the situation.  Maybe a week or more.  It could require several visits –  We are just not sure.

The internet costs have gone through the roof, thus since Sunday evening January 1, we have been limiting our connection to the internet to between 3.5 and 4.5 hours per day.  This makes it very difficult for the field to function as we ought.

There are several possibilities that could be causing this situation.

-  We changed our Internet server in the summer of 2010 and it might not have been the best, but it was recommended by the rep from our former server and the new server.

-  There may be a virus in some of our computers that are using a lot of our allotted band space, thus adding to the problem.

-  There may be additional issues that we are not aware of.

Therefore, we are in desperate need of some assistance.

If you think that you might be able to assist OMS on this need, please get in touch with Bill Evans, in our Men For Missions Office at:  bevans@onemissionsociety.org
