​New Life for Haiti is pleased to announce Marnie Van Wyk’s promotion to Executive Director! Marnie earns this consideration through her valuable contributions, excellent service, and tireless dedication to New Life for Haiti’s mission, which became effective June 1st. We are confident that Marnie Van Wyk will lead us into a new chapter of building even stronger partnerships with churches, organizations, and donors across the U.S.
​
Effective June 25th, New Life for Haiti also welcomes part-time Assistant Megan Buczkowski, who brings with her a degree in Sustainable Business from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and a wealth of volunteer non-profit experience. Megan will replace our current wonderful Missions Assistant Rebecca Taylor, who will be “retiring” June 28th. New Life for Haiti thanks Rebecca for her excellent service and wishes Rebecca and her husband Ryan the very best as they plan on welcoming their first child July 1st.
​
We hope you will join the Board in congratulating Marnie, welcoming Megan, and thanking Rebecca!

New Life for Haiti's Volunteer Spotlight:
Whitney Wilson! 

​Whitney has been a supporter of New Life for Haiti since her first trip in 2009. She remembers signing up for this “Come and See” trip with her brother-in-law Neil Schori, not knowing what to expect: “I was young and had free time. I thought it would be a good thing to do- to see more of the world.”Little did she know that God would use this trip to open her heart to loving this small Caribbean nation. When she went to Haiti, she remembers being “seized by the power of the great affection” that hasn’t let her go since- this stirring compassion for the names and faces that she’s grown to love in Haiti to be moved to action. For Whitney, “helping people in Haiti” is more than just helping the general poor. She thinks of her friends that she has laughed and hugged with and has grown to love. How could she abandon her friends?
Sometimes, we may be overwhelmed by the great need in Haiti and we become scared to do anything. “Don’t let the fear of not doing enough keep you from doing anything at all,” Whitney says. “Do the things that you CAN do [i.e. child sponsorships, donations, trips] and don’t fixate on the things you can’t do. Allow the Lord to work through what you give.” We couldn’t agree more!
Thank you, Whitney for your heart for Haiti! Thank you for accepting the invitation to partake in the work that the Lord is doing through New Life for Haiti. We are honored to have you on our team of supporters.
