How You Can Help Haiti

Haiti needs help and you have gifts, skills and talents that are needed.

Before coming to Haiti I questioned how I might be used here. I knew that I had a purpose to care for people and to tell their stories. But, I didn't quite know how that might work in reality.

Then I met the grandmother caring for 3 kids with no food, water or a decent tent. She has physical needs.

Then I met a little girl who just wanted to hold my hand. I don't know what happened to her parents. She had an emotional need.

Then I met two whole villages of people. They had physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

Today we met needs. God opened doors of justice being done as we used our gifts and skills to step into the role of an advocate for a people. This needs to continue.

There is absolutely a place here in Haiti for youth groups to come and serve. Partner with a great organization like www.adventures.org and come meet needs.

If you can't come to Haiti there are still many things you can do. Get involved with other organizations and send aid. Partner with local Haitian pastors and build bridges. And pray. Haiti will need lots of that. Right now a new spiritual awakening seems to be happening here and it needs to be covered with prayer.

There is too much here for a few people to do. I'm tired and overwhelmed after only 4 days. Haiti needs you. With all of us and God all things are possible.
