WELCOME TO ALEX'S HOUSE!
It was October of 2009 when God spoke to Bill Howard and clearly said, "Go to Haiti and start an orphanage for homeless children."
Seeking wisdom and guidance, Bill traveled to Haiti and met with veteran missionaries Sam and Delores York. During his visit, they introduced him to three young Haitian men—brothers Jimmy and Patrick Georges, and their close friend, Alex Alincy. Through prayer and a shared vision for serving vulnerable children, a partnership was formed and plans began to take shape.
What they could not have known was that God was already preparing the way for a much greater work. On January 12, 2010, a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, claiming more than 300,000 lives and leaving over one million people homeless.
In the midst of unimaginable tragedy, God used this newly formed partnership to bring hope, compassion, and the love of Christ to those who had lost everything.
Among the lives lost in the earthquake was our dear friend and ministry partner, Alex Alincy. His passing was a heartbreaking loss, but God would use his legacy to impact countless lives for years to come.
Among those left homeless and vulnerable were the precious children who would later become the family of Alex’s House. Today, these children are being nurtured, discipled, and equipped to become champions for Jesus Christ.
Since those early days, God has faithfully provided through the generosity of sponsors from across the United States. Through your prayers, financial support, and unwavering commitment, these children have been given a safe home, loving care, educational opportunities, and the hope found in Christ. Your partnership has played a vital role in helping them grow, thrive, and look forward to a brighter future.
In 2018, the situation in Haiti began a downward spiral that has continued due to widespread gang violence and control. Three different times, our Alex’s House family has had to abandon their homes due to gang violence, each time having to find a new place to live. In October of 2024, in the midst of terrible gang violence, God miraculously provided our AH family a helicopter evacuation to Cap Haitien – the place they now call home. After having to leave all possessions behind, the generous support of sponsors has allowed them to start a new life.
The students and staff of Alex’s House Orphanage have faced incredibly difficult and life-threatening situations. Multiple times they have faced realities unimaginable to those of us living safely in the United States. Yet through God’s grace and your love and support, they continue to persevere.
Those sweet little faces we wrapped our hearts around in 2010 are now growing into beautiful young men and women. Half of our “children” are either in or approaching their teenage years, while many of our older students are now in college and working toward a life of independence. Your generous support is essential for their growth and development. Your sponsorship provides nourishment for their bodies, a safe and loving home, a quality education, and most of all, an upbringing that points them to the love and goodness of our Lord and Savior – Jesus Christ. Please consider supporting Alex’s House Orphanage by becoming a sponsor.
