This past week, the missionary community in Haiti and the DR suffered a tragedy that has impacted us all. Agape Flights, which provides essential cargo, mail, and aid to hundreds of missionaries and communities across the Caribbean, has been used by RMI and its missionaries for many years.  Our missionaries have gotten to know the […]

If a picture says a thousand words, then this picture says a WHOLE lot! Sixty-five bicycles were delivered recently, most of which were part of the Christmas bundles you purchased for families.  The bundles consisted of a bicycle, a solar fan, and a family water filter.  Can you imagine the smiles on the kids’ faces?  […]

Our team will travel […]

What are others saying about their recent trip to Haiti: “The translators were courteous and effective, friendly and fun 100% of the time. I would like to give special cudos to David who took it upon himself to come over where we were sitting any time there was worship at church…… and explain the words […]

What are others saying about their time on an RMI team in the Dominican Republic? “I feel so blessed that I was able to go on this medical mission trip and that we were able to help so many people. This was a dream come true for me as an RN who has been on […]
