Status of Haiti

Daily now the clouds gather and take on a dark persona, the winds shift and inevitably an incalculable number of free falling water droplets descend on Port-Au-Prince. The forecast for this week alone predicts several inches of rain will fall in this disaster stricken city. The rainy season is a normal, yearly occurrence in the Caribbean, but this year it seems to be ramping up earlier than usual. With hundreds of thousands still displaced and living in homes of tarp and rope, sheets and string, and other makeshift housing in Port-Au-Prince and outlying areas, torrential downpours also...

Stephanie Pridgen is an AIM support staff working in Haiti right now. Part of their ministry is at a local church and so she decided to take portraits of some of the children at the church… These are the faces of some of the beautiful children at Pastor Enoch’s

Undercover to Feed Haiti’s Hungry

They carry out their mission with only the light from a few headlamps in the predawn darkness. Jokes and laughter have ceased, replaced with a sense of urgency to get in and get out quickly, seen by as few as possible. With an estimated 1.3 million people now homeless in Port-Au-Prince, edible food and clean water are precious commodities making food distribution a potentially dangerous venture. Nonetheless AIM has committed to this undertaking. Throughout the past week, teams have worked to prepare food bags to help alleviate some of the widespread hunger in the communities they work...

Stepping foot into the dusty, dirty streets of Port-Au-Prince can be a daunting venture. For most Americans there is more poverty and destruction than ever experienced in our quaint, fenced in backyards. News media rarely focuses on the positive. From a homeland perspective we always see and hear the dangers, the problems, and all the reasons why one would never want to leave and go somewhere like an earthquake shattered zone in Haiti. As a single twenty-something it is not as big of a deal. We are written off as adventure seekers who are “still at that age.” Or often we are...

Stephanie Tyrna was on the original Alumni trip that pioneered our current ministry in Haiti. Shortly after that trip, with a heart that continued to break for the Haitians, she returned to Haiti. She has been serving for almost two months in every kind of capacity. The money you have given has gone to many different areas – Steph highlights one here… We were able to provide food for an entire tent community today! We were able to purchase rice, beans, chicken and juice (the typical Haitian meal) for 2,000 people. And this is not just any community....

Stephanie Pridgen, an AIM correspondent who heads to Haiti soon to help facilitate our teams and share the stories of how God’s hand at work. As she prepares she shares one of the reasons she returns to Haiti… Babi is a beautiful boy I met in Haiti. When I was there last year, Babi had arrived after extensive flooding left him orphaned. Subsequently he still had a distended belly and was a small, quiet presence. Babi became one of my shadows, often napping on the porch with me as we sought respite from the early afternoon sun. The day we were set to...
