Clint Bokelman is currently in Haiti and interviews a pastor who is helping out the children of Haiti.  Most of these students come from 3 different orphanages, of which non of the kids can afford to get an education, this school exists for the least of these in Haiti.

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 seen...

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. This...

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 could...

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 spiritual...

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 country...
