Each month we have a feature that appears on the back of each paper receipt and now appears in text on the e-receipts. Some of the items also appear here in our blog. We didn’t want you to miss out on any news, so we’re going to be posting them here. This month’s Ministry Highlights featured: 13,000 Kids De-Wormed… In December, the 3rd Annual Hope for Kidz (HFK) Deworming seminar was held. All the school administrators attended to review the program protocols and the meds were distributed for the clinics at their schools. The last two years we’ve taught these school leaders how to administer and keep good records of deworming meds distributed at their schools as well as gave them educational materials and training on how to teach worm prevention to each of their classes. This year we distributed deworming medication and cups to 51 schools for 12,576 students

  It’s hard to believe that January 12 will be 5 years since the devastating earthquake in Haiti. In just a few seconds millions of Haitians’ lives changed forever.  Now, 5 years later RMI’s Homes for Haiti Program has been able to build 110 homes.  It’s amazing for them to have the security of a solid roof over their heads, solid walls around them and doors that they can lock.  They are able to really start rebuilding their lives.  Unfortunately there are over 250,000 people still living in tent cities and struggling to survive.  But we can help!The Lord has provided us with a matching grant of $47,500 for 10 homes. This means that we only need $4750 per home to match the grant.  We need your help to match this grant!  You can be a part of providing a home to a needy Haitian family. What a difference these

Don’t be fooled: we may not have any teams in Haiti this December, but we have been very busy moving ahead with other programs and preparing for the busiest time of the team calendar that starts in January. On December 2nd, we held our 3rd Annual Hope for Kidz (HFK) Deworming seminar.  This is the 3rd year we’ve included deworming in all of our HFKz schools.  We called all the school administrators in for a meeting to review the program protocols and distribute the meds for clinics at their schools.  We actually had a few administrators calling us earlier in the school year asking us to do the program again this year! The last two years we’ve taught these school leaders how to administer and keep good records of deworming meds distributed at their schools as well as gave them educational materials and training on how to teach worm prevention

Make Christmas Special for a Haitian family     There’s a day to give Thanks.  Then 3 days of shopping starting with Black Friday.  Cyber Monday is another day of shopping.  Last but most definitely not the least is Giving Tuesday.  That’s TODAY!  A day dedicated to giving back.  Here is your opportunity to give back – to make Christmas special for a Haitian family! Christmas is a special family time beginning with Christ being born into His earthly family.  For US families Christmas is a busy time with concerts and parties to attend, special church services, and of course giving gifts to our friends and loved ones.  Most Haitian families love the Christmas story and season but do not have the capacity to give gifts as most of us here in the US do.  You can make a difference for a Haitian family this year by giving very practical
