Haiti has suffered immeasurable loss in the last few days. I’ll keep this simple and short.
AIM has two missionaries on the ground in Haiti right now who are
going to provide basic relief and then find smaller communities outside
of Port-au-Prince that need help (since the major city’s getting the
most attention). But in order to get some supplies, they need your
help.

I’ll keep you updated in the next couple of days on what is being
planned in regards to short-term trips to help out. Our short-term
missions department is busy putting these together. With the help of
World Race Alumni, we’ve been able to get a lot of volunteers to go
down and set things up for us. So in the meantime, please continue to
pray for the country of Haiti and help us purchase supplies.

Full-time AIM missionaries Miguel and Kristen Shaul are
on the field in the Dominican Republic right now and are headed to
Haiti as soon as possible to begin providing some much needed relief
and help to the country. Here is the latest:

Thank you to everyone who has been praying and sharing concern for
our neighbors in Haiti. As we speak we are coordinating with other
NGO’s here in San Juan to mount an emergency response to those affected
by the earthquake that occurred yesterday evening. Four hours Southwest
from our home of San Juan lays the Dominican city of Jimani which is
only about 40 miles east from the hardest hit area of Haiti. Our hope
is to be able to travel to Jimani early tomorrow morning, bringing
supplies with us.If the borders are not too difficult, Miguel will attempt to get
in as far as possible and access the nearest need closest to the
Dominican border. We imagine smaller, poorer towns will have massive
devastation as well due to inadequate structural integrity even though
they are further out from the epicenter.The primary goal is to bring first-response relief to those in
need, supplies such as food, blankets, shelters, and basic health care
will be needed.Our secondary goal is to identify communities in which we can get
involved in long term rebuilding. In both of these cases, we request
prayer for the LORD’s leading of our effort and favor, and we also ask
for partnership in funding our response. Please consider joining in our
work to respond to this great brokenness with the love of Christ.
