Hope is flourishing in Haiti

Stacey Hume is an upcoming World Racer that just returned from Haiti.  She gives her take on the state of the Haitians… In the gray, whispy clouds glancing off of the plane’s wings, the dark brown earth snuck out momentarily between the flashes.  As if the island was trying to hide its devastation. But suddenly, the clouds parted.  And there it was.  That was the first time I saw Haiti. As we got closer to landing, even the mountains hid their faces from me in a billowing blackness. But as soon as the plane’s wheels hit the earth.  There...

Continuing to See Hope Emerge in Haiti

Liz Froba just returned from Haiti and shares the following.  Ian Robertson, a videographer from the YMATH team shares about meeting Michelle.  Michelle, if you remember, was the lady who tried to save her twin boys and lost both of them, one broken into three pieces in her arms.    I’m not really sure what to say that will do justice to the mass destruction I saw today as I drove through the streets of Port-au-Prince.

This specific...

Summary of AIM’s Plan in Haiti Thus Far

Seth Barnes, Director of Adventures in Missions has been strategizing on how AIM can best facilitate Haiti’s re-birth and re-growth process.  Below he shares AIM’s plan… To sum up: For the last month I’ve been focused on responding to the situation in Haiti. If it’s seemed obsessive as a blog topic, there are three reasons why:  1. It’s the greatest natural disaster of our time – God’s people need to rise up. 2. God has spoken to me about it personally and to those in AIM’s ministry corporately.  3. The...

Go on a Mission Trip with AIM to Haiti

AIM staff members Seth and Clint just returned from Haiti with amazing stories about what God is doing there.   If you’ve followed any of the YMATH blogs, you’ve been able to see some of the hope that has arisen in what we knew as “the most impoverished country in the western hemisphere” prior to the devastating earthquake.   But the Haitian church is telling a different story.   What was supposed to be a week full of despair and mourning was transformed into a week of dancing in the streets and worshiping Jesus as the...
