Shortly after the Haitian earthquake, it became clear to that the only indigenous infrastructure left in the entire country is the Haitian church. In order to be involved in community development and rebuilding that doesn't promote dependency or colonialism, AIM is working through local church leaders in Haiti to reach and rebuild their communities. 
We have developed a network and database of Haitian pastors that will partner with churches in America, and around the world, for prayer, encouragement, resources, and teams who will travel to provide hands-on help.
In order to do this effectively, we are working through a handful of indigenous leaders with whom we've been building a relationship over the months since the earthquake. These leaders will be the "front line" of the Church-to-Church Program, bringing coordination, administration, accountability and oversight.
An initial goal of 200 dynamic church partnerships is both feasible and realistic. These partnerships will include prayer, donations, mutual communication, and mission trips to facilitate relational growth and tangible rebuilding assistance. In fact, one of our early American partners has already scheduled a mission trip of 20 participants to visit their sponsored Haitian church. What began as a vision is now making a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of Haitians, and those supporting the effort are also being transformed.

American churches have the opportunity to spiritually and physically support a sister church in Haiti. Adventures In Missions is connected to more than 1000 churches (and their surrounding communities), many of which are still awaiting relief.
Local pastors have reported thousands of lives being transformed in the wake of the disaster. Each personal tragedy they hear is followed by a story of profound hope and resiliency. There is a revival that supersedes institutions happening in this land, and we want to partner you with Haitian church leaders in their effort to rebuild their country.
