FOUNDERS/PRESIDENT – MATT AND JESSICA BUSH
Matt and Jessica began All Things New in February 2013 as God laid on their heart the calling and subsequent desire to move to Haiti. In 2012 they traveled to Haiti 6 times with their church, RiverTown Church, in Jacksonville, FL to establish a ministry with a church and a group of kids who were being taken care of by a Haitian couple. It was clear that these kids and this couple needed love, care, and help to ensure that the children had a future. God, in His sovereignty, brought this group of kids into the lives and hearts of Matt and Jess knowing that His will was for them to move down and become parents to the children who lived here. Only our God could bring people together like that! In November of 2012 God began to really speak to Matt and Jess and they made a decision to follow God wherever He would lead…And He was leading them to Haiti. There is a lot of work to do as they get closer to being able to move down there, but we have a great God. A God who created the world, who loves us enough to die for us, and who has clearly set this ministry in motion since the beginning of the world. He will bless this ministry, and He will take care of His children!
