The elderly gentleman dressed in his best clothes that morning.  He started walking early because he knew it’d take a while to get there.  Once he arrived, he made sure to get a good seat near the front.  They said that there was a group from the United States visiting the church that week and he really wanted to hear what they had to say.  He listened carefully to what the guest speaker shared.  He’d heard the pastor of the church say much the same thing, but that morning he felt God speaking to him, telling him that it was time to make the decision.  After the service he pressed his way forward to speak to the pastor.  Today was the day.  God was calling him to accept Christ as his Savior.  The visiting team from Bartlett, IL was thrilled to pray with him and to know that God had

More than a trite saying…”let’s pray” is a refrain that is heard often around RMI.  That’s because we have an unshakeable belief in the power of prayer.  We bathe most of what we do in prayer.  We pray together and individually in the US office for our ministry, for one another, for our missionaries and appointees, and for our supporters.  The Haiti field staff also prays together in their daily devotional meetings and are intentional in leading teams in prayer before they leave on their trip to their C3 partner churches, before work projects, medical clinics, youth, men, women, and children’s meetings, open air services and any other activity that the teams are undertaking.  There’s prayer at the end of their visit and prayer during the debriefing the last night before they leave.  Prayers before a team hits the road to go to their Sister Church. Prayers before starting a

When Asher Stillman went to Haiti with his church, Bethany Baptist Church, Myakka, FL, in 2017, he left with a burden to return to serve the Lord and help the RMI staff in any way he could.  He graduated from high school as a homeschooler and has already completed two years of college credits.  (He participated as a dual enrollment student while in HS.)  He comes from a large family of 10 and they are all very active in their church.  His parents encourage all of their kids to take some time after graduation and before moving on with life to serve the Lord in something like this internship.  He wanted to take some time to get away and be alone with God before having too much responsibility, making it hard to have this time to serve.  He is handy and loves to get his hands dirty as well as

The rush is on to decorate as early as possible for fall and Thanksgiving.  Pumpkin spiced creations have appeared as coffee, cookies, candles, air fresheners, and many other items.  Sometimes the push to get in the mood of the season actually ends up clouding the reason – a time of giving thanks.  So…what are you thankful for?  Family?  A job?  Friends?  Eternal life?  A comfortable home?  Food on the table? It’s the last one that gives us pause because so many people in Haiti do not have enough food to put on the table to feed their families.  That’s why, at this time of year, we are offering a holiday special of our Food for Health cases of nutritious food.  Each case contains 216 meals – enough to feed a family of 6 for a month! For 1-10 cases, the cost is $30 a case. For 11-50 cases, the cost
