Here we go.....again!

We are so excited to announce that mid next month we are heading back to Redding California to be part of Second year of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry!


The first year was a beautiful roller coaster of adventure. It stretched us, molded us, challenged us and changed us. Most importantly,it lead us deeper into the heart of Jesus. We learned that He is truly good, loves us abundantly and never leaves or forsakes us. 

The first year of the program was a lot about personal transformation (learning to lead ourselves) but this second year will be more about learning how to take what we gained and creating a culture or atmosphere that brings this to our sphere of influence (learning to lead others). Second year is set up very differently to first year. There are a lot more electives we can choose from. This means we can personalise our program to match areas that we feel we need to grow in/develop, to springboard into future life and ministry.

Charlee and Declan are also very much on this journey with us. Charlee made a decision to get baptised and had opportunity to pray for visiting ministries at her school (Bethel Christian School). Declan was a little unsure of God's existence before we started this journey, but something changed in him last year too. He now is confident in the existence of God and growing in spiritual gifts. He regularly wants to give us or others a prophetic word!

Our prayer is  that you would join us in this next phase of our adventure. Obviously, we want you to continue reading our email update! Also, please interact with us, ask us questions, send us prayer requests and let us know all the amazing things that are happening in your lives. Sometimes being overseas can seem a bit lonely; we always want to hear from you back home! You can contact us here.

Second, would you consider partnering with us on this journey? We cannot achieve what God has placed in our heart without the support of others. What we are endeavoring  to do is not just us learning something! Ultimately we are equipping ourselves to bring long term change to our community and the people that we will minister to in the future. 

There are a few ways we are looking for support this time:

Next month we will be completing a 5 mile walk through Mount Barker, to raise money for our tuition. You can find out more and donate through this link!

We are believing for a few people to support our children's tuition, as this is one of our greatest expenses for the year ahead. 

Finally, if you would like to invest in us over the year, you can become a monthly partner, contributing to our ongoing expenses through out the year. Please be in contact with us to let us know your intentions.

You can at anytime donate to us through our bank account details as follows: 
Acct name: EE and C de Haas BSB: 633000 Acct #153851508 
(please reference your donation if you would like it to go to a certain area)

We are so excited about this next chapter of our lives, would you pray for us while we transition from Australia to USA again and get settled into a rhythm of life.

Thank you for your ongoing love and support it really does mean so much to us!

Love and blessings Chris, Elle, Charlee and Declan

Hello, A huge part of our school year is Missions trips and in 2nd year we are also blessed to have the opportunity to go on Ministry trips as well. This year we are staying close to home but are so excited about the opportunity to be a part of a tent revival in Stockton, California. Stockton is about 2hrs south from Redding and is a community in great need of the love of Jesus!  On a mission trip or main priority is evangelism. So our trip will be focused around loving on the people of Stockton. We will do this through handing out food parcels, street evangelism and culminating in night time tent revival services. We are on a small team of 20 people and we will be the first team of 5 to head down and start the ministry. We are so excited about this opportunity and what we will learn and how we will see God move over the course of the 3 days. This opportunity will give us a chance to see how revival can hit a city when we just come to love on people,...

A quick update

Hello! We just wanted to quickly drop by and give an update on what's been happening since our last post. We have started our 2nd year of BSSM! It's been an incredible week, already learning and absorbing so much! We are absolutely convinced that God has us here for this time and this year, it's so exciting! Praise God Chris's tuition is fully paid off!! Thank you so much if you sowed into that, we bless you in return. We moved out of our original home that we had moved into. We are staying with some beautiful friends while we continue to search for a new place. It has proved very difficult in our circumstances to rent and sign a lease. It's complicated but let's just say the US is different to Australia and when you are not allowed to work while you are here it can be hard to prove how you will pay your rent. We have had some incredible offers from people however there always seems to be a hurdle we can't get over. So please continue to pray for...

1st year is almost over!

Hello everyone! We are really getting down to the last few weeks of school with only 5 school days until our graduation. It has been a whirlwind since we arrived back in Redding after our Mission trips (more on them later) and it has certainly made us miss Australia and are very much looking forward to heading home for a few months in June. Before we share about our mission trips we want to take a moment to let you know of our current need. We truly believe that God bought us here to BSSM for so many reasons and he has done so many incredible things in our hearts and lives! It has of course not been without it's challenges and one of our biggest has been our finances. We have done everything we possibly could to allow God to use our assets and what we have worked for to pay for this adventure but for whatever reason he has chosen not to.  God has been so faithful to us providing for us in so many different ways. We have a huge need right now to finish paying for Charlee and D...
