The Rev. Paul Jeffrey, response senior correspondent and a United Methodist missionary, has continued to cover life in Haiti two years after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Here is a sampling of his recent images from that troubled Caribbean nation. Haiti is the geographic theme of this year's Schools of Mission. Paul's images of Haiti can also be seen in a new book he co-authored with Chris Herlinger. Rubble Nation: Haiti's Pain, Haiti's Promise is available at your local bookseller or online through Cokesbury or Amazon.
