Haiti was, and more importantly, IS, a life-transforming experience for me. I’ve been back for a couple of weeks now and trying my best to figure out how I can best be involved. I was scheduled to be back in Haiti this week as well, but for various reasons I could not make it and that trip has been rescheduled. I hope to be back in Haiti soon, but there is plenty of work I can do from where I’m currently living…and so can you.
Lots of people have been asking me about Haiti and how they can get involved. There are lots of great organizations that are serving over there, and I’m super excited to see what AIM is working on. They are the organization that I went over there with, and I fully trust and support the work that they are about.
There vision is bold. And it’s big. And they are rolling it out in some simple, easy to access ways for you to get involved.
Seth Barnes, who is the executive director for AIM posted on his blog over the weekend, Please pray for a church in Haiti. In it, Seth lays out some very simple steps:
Please look at this video below and consider joining with us. It’s not complicated and doesn’t require much. We want to make it easy for you to try it out. Here’s what you do:
- Put your name and relevant info in the comment section below or email me at this link to sign up.
- We’ll send you the name of a pastor and some info about his church and community. They may write back.
- You don’t have to do anything more than pray initially. Ask God, “How shall I respond over the next 3 weeks?”
- Let us know what he says and how you’re responding and we’ll communicate that to the pastor in Haiti.
An AIM rep will call or email you after a month. If you’d like to continue the relationship, we’ll talk about where it can go after that.
That’s it! All you need to simply do is inquire, hear about a church and its needs, and pray about a potential partnership.
Look for more details as they come at AIM’s website and continue to check Seth’s blog.
