Over 3 million people’s lives changed when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the country of Haiti outside of its capitol on January 10, 2010.  Hundreds of countries and thousands of organizations across the globe are responding to the immediate needs in Haiti.  There is a desperate cry for help and an urgent need for heaven to invade earth.  But the biggest question people have been asking themselves is:   How can I help?    Adventures In Missions (AIM) is creating several opportunities for you to get involved.  Here are the latest ones:  ...

I’m going to spend...
