As the news piles out from Haiti many people are wondering how they can help but many are nervous of scams from people just wanting to make a buck. Here is a note from Seth Barnes, who is the head of Adventures in Missions, I know him personally and greatly respect him. I also have friends who have worked with the couple he speaks of, in other words this is a legitimate effort that is being formed. Please read Seth Barnes’ email and help in whatever way you can…
Dear friends,
The news reports are still coming. I just saw one that said 500,000 are dead in Haiti. The number is numbing. That is 500,000 children, mothers, uncles, fathers. God’s people must respond.
As you consider your role, know that we have a conduit established: Miguel and Kristen Shaul, a committed young couple who have led AIM’s efforts in neighboring Dominican Republic for five years.
Miguel is heading across the border into Haiti today to meet believing churches and set up operations in areas where we can make a fast, meaningful impact.
More details will follow regarding both short and long-term opportunities to help in person. But right now, the greatest need is for donations to fund the purchase of essential supplies. We have set up an opportunity set-up for you to give online, which is fastest and easiest right now.

100% of your donations are tax-deductible, and we will make sure that every donation gets turned into essentials like food and blankets. I will email more details as as I get them from Miguel. In the meantime, pray for him, Kristen, and Samantha, as he is heading into some chaotic areas soon.
Stand with us at AIM as we stand with Miguel. He is providing a lifeline for the Haitians. Make no mistake, that’s what we are talking about right now: life and death. You can also visit our website for more frequent updates, as we receive them.
This is our hour.
