Sometimes teams come to Haiti and do exciting things.  Sometimes, they come and do the seemingly mundane.  I appreciate both!  Sometimes it’s the mundane that most excites me.  A team of high school students came recently and wanted to come alongside of RMI itself and do a project.  They painted the wall to our depot giving it a little curb appeal.  It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? Before… After…

I am always saying it.  I love what we get to do.  We recently had a team come from McGregor Baptist Church in Fort Myers, FL.  I can’t say I have met another church that is more ready, prepared, and unashamed of sharing the Gospel.  They came fired up and ready.  God showed up. This team did several open air services.  To be honest, these didn’t seem to be all that successful, although I am looking at it from an earthly perspective.  They shared clearly and firmly with the masses at these events and only God knows truly what was eternally accomplished. Sharing the Gospel “Yard2Yard” The harvesting almost exclusively came as they broke up into small teams and did what I like to call Yard2Yard Evangelism.  In the US, it’s typically called Door to Door, but in Haiti, pretty much no one stays indoors, so we visit yards.  The

2 Weeks ago, the RMI team in Haiti realized that we were desperately short of food for Relief and our Hope for Kidz Hot Lunch Program.  We have been working with our supplier over the last several months to get the containers that we need, but the food just hasn’t arrived (logistics are all backed up), and to be honest, it looked like we wouldn’t have a container arrive in Haiti for up to 2 months.  What could we do? I sent a desperate email to the RMI FL office to ask them to pray, and they shared, “oh, now would be a good time to tell you that we have a special container from a special source arriving in Port au Prince TOMORROW!”  I couldn’t believe my ears.  After I picked up my jaw from the floor, I shared with my team that God answered our payers.

Equipping the church in Haiti looks different than if we were to equip a US church. For instance, tools to help a Haitian church in evangelism consists of some unusual items.  First on the list is a generator.  It will be able to power lights, fans, sound systems, and musical instruments.  A church with a generator will be able to draw in many more people.  These days people bring their cell phones to church just to have access to power and outlets to charge the phone. Having a good sound system, mixer, speakers with stands, microphones and their stands all play a key role in bringing people into the church. Haitians love music yet have few instruments.  Having drums, guitars, keyboards, trumpets and other instruments is another key tool to getting people, especially young people to come in the door of the church.    Equipping schools also looks a bit

We need a bunch of “ONES”.  Would you be ONE to be known as ONE who believes in and supports our RMI National Missionaries?  Seriously, we need you, yes you, to be ONE. We are investing heavily in our Haitian Missionaries, but we can’t do it alone.  We want to dig in even deeper, but just are not able due to a lack of resources. Have you met them?  Appreciated them?  Trusted them?  Believed in them?  Do you love them?  Show it to them by joining a select team of people who stand with them and support them. Be the ONE.  Please, donate here and choose Haitian Staff!
