Ministry Meets Large Mob: Normal Day in Haiti

It was a normal Haitian afternoon with the air boiling and people seeking refuge in the shade. Part of the team was inside a white tent, designated for our purposes as a medical tent. Wounds were being cleansed and redressed. Stomach aches were being soothed with medicine. The touch and care deprived were given full attention, even if for only a few short minutes. Gathered outside the tent were many, many more. Some were simply waiting in line, anxiously awaiting in hopes we could help. Others were gathered around those praying for healing for the many cases we were untrained to handle. It...

The Presidential Palace that was flattened during the January 12th earthquake. Talking to some locals in front of the Presidential Palace. They shared with us their experiences since the earthquake. Many are looking for jobs and of course, food and more permanent shelter. Signs of revival are everywhere in Port Au Prince. This crisis has brought thousands of Haitians to God.

The Son of God Orphanage is currently under investigation for trafficking children. Read our official press release for more. “We have been praying for years for mattresses.” That one sentence has remained in my mind for the past week, floating around and resurfacing, calling me to ponder . Last Wednesday, after two days of searching Port-Au-Prince and negotiating with vendors for the best price, three trucks loaded down with 46 mattresses and one baby bed arrived at the Sons of God Orphanage in Carrefour. The answer to years of prayers for those who care for the 124...

Mark Oestreicher has gone on trips with Adventures In Missions for years. Most recently he has been working with AIM in Haiti and he recently wrote this post on the work he is doing with AIM. He allowed us to re-post it. The original article can be here. I think I miscalculated something. Please hear me on this: what I’m about to explain is not an attempt to guilt anyone or manipulate. I thought about how I should write about this, and realized that my blog isn’t about spin, and that I should just say what’s on my mind. So here it is, my miscalculation… I...

Ktadb, one of the hundreds of tent cities in Port au Prince, is at once the poorest place I’ve been, as well as the richest. It’s an ugly, sad place filled with beauty and joy. This community of 3,500 should be drowning in despair, but instead, there is faith. When my AIM team arrived, four and a half months had passed since the January 12th earthquake. As far as we knew, no one had been to Ktadb to distribute supplies during that time. There were almost 600 shelters there, but not a single tent or any tarps in sight. All of the shelters were built with sticks lashed together...
