- Haiti was walloped with 3 devastating earthquakes in the past 24 hours, with as-yet unknown levels of death and destruction. Haiti needs your help IMMEDIATELY!
Although current commercial flights have been temporarily suspended to Haiti, STEM will post openings later today for at least three teams to Haiti, with the first team going February 27th. Click the "Find A Team" link on the homepage, or drop this address into your browser http://stemintl.org/trips/opportunities/teams to locate an "open" Haiti team you can join. Or better yet -- book your own entire team from your church or organization. In the meantime, please:
1. PRAY for swift search-and-rescue efforts for the many victims stilled trapped under ruble and debris, and for comfort and wisdom that only God can provide.
2. RECRUIT a team from your church or school or organization, or join one of our "open" teams to Haiti DO IT NOW (PLEASE!). Though we're not sure right now exactly what our teams will be doing, it will be some aspect of bringing tangible hands and feet of Jesus into this horrendous situation.
3. GIVE financial help. There are two ways to give. You can go through our STEM Missions parent organization, Bethany International by going to https://secure.bethanyinternational.org/donate/index.php. Or you can click on the "Donations/Payment/Support" button at the very top of this page, or cut and paste this link into your browser: http://stemintl.org/donations/payment -- then in the designation box, specify HAITI EARTHQUAKE HELP. At this juncture, we don't know exactly where your donation will be used, except that your donation WILL GO TO SOME ASPECT OF EARTHQUAKE HELP in Haiti as we identify specific, legitimate opportunities. Both ways the money will go to the same relief efforts.

STEM had no staff nor any teams in Haiti during the earthquake, so although we suffered no direct loss, many other missionaries and many Haitian people are suffering greatly. PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS!

- On Thu. Oct. 15, STEM Author David Aeilts and retired Wycliffe Bible Translator Ken Jacobs were interviewed on "KKMS Live with Jeff and Lee," discussing the newly-released STEM Press book, "These Words Changed Everything—Startling News that Rebuilt a Maya Worldview." KKMS is a Minneapolis/St. Paul Christian talk radio station, located at 980 on the AM dial.
David Aeilts (pronounced like the 'aisles' in a church or theater) recounts the dramatic true story of Ken and Elaine Jacobs' 47+ years efforts among the Maya Chamula Indians of southern Mexico, the most feared and intimidating traditional tribe in Mexico. As the Jacobs learned the Chamula language, and reduced it to writing (creating the Chamula alphabet), the Word of God was eventually translated into the Chamula's mother tongue — and EVERYTHING changed: Chamulas began prospering economically, their social structure improved, their educational and political structures improved, and Chamulas were released from centuries trapped in spiritual prisons of darkness, as they entered into a life-giving relationship with the True God of all creation. The Word of God literally changed everything.
