150,000 – 200,000 are estimated to be dead.
9,000 United Nations Peacekeepers are keeping the country calm.
1,400 U.S. Military personal are helping rescue victims.
And 6 World Race Alumni are heading there to make a kingdom impact.
In a country gripped with poverty, unclean water, and a dwindling lack of resources even before the earthquake, Haiti is a nation that has been crippled and needs the Church to help. The World Race and AIM has a history of responding well to natural disasters (i.e. Mozambique, Haiti, Peru, Katrina), which is why it’s heading back to Haiti soon.
This coming August, the World Race July 2010 trip (that’s us!) is headed to Haiti to assist in rebuilding efforts. Not only will the focus be on individual recovery, but also on establishing a restoration of the country beginning with pocket communities. The first two months will be spent in the Dominican Republic and Haiti assisting earthquake victims. The bottom line is that people need shelter, water, food, comfort and care, and we’re available to be conduits of God’s provision in Haiti for this.
