Alex's House Orphanage was conceived in October of 2009 when God gave Bill Howard a “Saul on the road to Damascus” experience – telling him – “Go to Haiti and start an orphanage for homeless children.” With 25 years of pastoring under his belt, and looking forward to “slowing down for the grand children years” – this calling was the last thing Bill had expected. Yet God was clear, so Bill began to research and pray through the next steps. Five weeks later, Bill visited Haiti to experience firsthand the work which God was calling him to. During this visit, IMB missionaries, Sam and Delores York introduced Bill to three young Haitian men whom they were discipling - Alex Alincy, and Jimmy & Patrick Georges. It was immediately discovered that the Lord had given Bill and Alex the an identical vision – and through prayer and faith, the commitment was made to start the orphanage.
Approximately one month later, on January 12, 2010, a 7.0
earthquake devastated the country of Haiti killing more than 300,000 and
leaving more than a million people homeless and starving. Three days after the quake Alex's body was recovered from underneath the rubble. While teaching a bible study for young men, the home they were in had collapsed. There were no
survivors.
Alex's life here on earth had come to an end; however, the
vision that God had placed on their hearts had just begun. In February of 2010,
Bill, Jimmy and Patrick took a bold step of faith and birthed this orphanage to the glory of God and in
memory of their friend Alex Alincy.
This first video show our humble beginnings as the orphanage was birthed in February of 2010 in the home of Jimmy and Patrick.
With the Lord's blessings,
our ministry grew rapidly and we began to reach out to others in
need,
providing food, shelter, beds and most of all, the love of Jesus.
In September of 2012, after nine months of intensive labor, we reached a great milestone and moved into our new campus 33 miles north of Port au Prince in Kaliko.
This next video captures this exciting day when the Lord blessed us with our new home in Kaliko on September 26, 2012!
Today, churches and individuals across America are joining
together to raise these beautiful children and support the orphanage we
affectionately call "Alex's House."
Here is a look back at some of God's blessings in 2013!
