Medical and Evangelical Missions Touching Haiti, Reaching Out to the World Since 1994
Good riddance 2010! We don’t know if we have ever seen a year quite like 2010 — ministry-wise or personally. We know we constantly pound on the subject of the way Haiti is now, but it’s kind of like saying it is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. People are tired of hearing that, but it is what it is: poor and pretty much unchanged from the time “it” happened.
Standing on a dusty hill, just north of Port-au-Prince and looking south, all you see is splotches of blue — the blue of the tarps that serve as homes for thousands of people. You see tarps, pieces of tin, wood or plastic sheeting — whatever they can find to keep the hot sun out or protect them from the now infrequent rains. Almost one year after the 7.0 earthquake level Port-au-Prince and the surrounding areas, it is virtually the same as it was.
