You don’t need to have experience in construction or a Bible degree to make an impact in Haiti. Even though there are desperate physical needs for physical disaster relief, many overlook the spiritual need that can be met if you’re willing to be a vessel of God’s grace. Ben, a participant in a youth trip to Haiti writes about experiencing the great need for prayer in Haiti.  I was nervous about participating in an Ask the Lord (ATL). We were each supposed to pray quietly for 25 to 30 minutes listening to what God has to tell or show us.

From AIM staff member Ashley Musick, who visited Haiti with a team she led last year on The World Race: Since the earthquake happened in Haiti we’ve all been looking for opportunities to help. AIM is launching a huge effort to make a long-term difference. Creating opportunities for short-term teams will take a lot of details and information that you can’t get unless you are there. Somebody has to go in first.  I’ve been working with many people to organize a team of World Race Alumni to go into the country, and we’re leaving this Thursday.
