Team Update

The Church to Church team traveled from Miami to Port-au-Prince on Wednesday. After arriving and getting oriented the team toured the most effected areas of the city. Several team members shared reflections, photos, and posted to Twitter. Here are some highlights: David Hayward took in many things on the tour of the earthquake stricken city and found hope in girls headed to school. Mark Oestreicher posted on Facebook, “Driving thru downtown port-au-prince. Looks better in some ways ans worse in others, compared to when I was here in late feb. Just loaded a few pics.” Ed Noble...

Meeting with Deacon Geliere

The following blog was written by Lanny Richardson who is currently serving in Haiti. On this day, we met with the deacon of the church across the street from the “tent” city God led us to. Watch this video as Mark, one of our Set-Up Leaders here in Haiti, describes his heart. One of the most interesting facts discovered in this interview was that God led us to meet this deacon and a few church members while their pastor was away from the church serving food to 100s of mentally ill in another town. Only God could have led us to...

Four Months Without Help

They need shelter from their shelters. It has been four months since the earth shook with an intensity previously unknown to the residents of Port-Au-Prince.

Instead of sleeping on bedsheets, they sleep beneath them – frail, tattered pieces of cloth held up by sticks, blown easily by the wind and leaving little protection from the rain and...

Mobilization

I’ll be honest. I’m not sure what I’ve gotten myself into. My friend Doug and I fly out for Port au Prince on Sunday for one of AIM’s weeklong relief trips to Haiti. It’s the first time either of us has been on a missions trip or visited a third-world country. Personally, I’d never really given much thought to going on a trip like this-that was something other people did, right? But when the earthquake hit and the news media showed the world the devastation and destruction that followed, it hit home for both of us. We knew we had to...

God's Heart

“I thought Haiti needed me, but I found out I needed Haiti,” is one of the phrases we often hear. Even I came looking to see what I could do for Haiti. I came looking for how I to write and tell the world the things I see happening, the stories of what Haitians are enduring, the ways people can help this nation even if they are unable to leave their own. As staff we often chat about the misconceptions people have of life in Haiti, below is my take on one of these. Benny Veale recently wrote a blog series on those we pinpointed beginning with this...
