Andrew Tlucek and Jim Starkey went to La Vega, DR, recently to meet with some Haitian pastors. This was a preliminary event for the Ezra Institute and several seminars they have planned for the near future.  Plans are firming up for the first visiting professor as well.  Pray for Andrew as he plans these seminars.  […]

Thanks to all of you who have participated in VisionNext so far.  We still have quite a way to go to meet our goals.  One specific goal is to repair the RMI Haiti office.  We knew the office had been damaged in the 2021 earthquake, but a new and urgent issue has recently reared its […]

Have you ever looked for an original fundraising idea for your Hope for Kidz needs?  Something new that people would respond to?  Here is an idea that is organized by someone from RMI missionary Tessa Andrews’ mom’s church.  They are raising funds for a food storage building for an area called Fond Deron.  This building […]

There is rejoicing in Pederine this week.  July 9, we shared wth you about the Pederine Church parsonage being built.  This month, the keys were handed to the pastor and his family.  The construction is completely done; it is painted, and the doors and windows are installed.  The pictures tell the story!

Technology today is nowhere near what it used to be.  In the past, to get any statistical data, we had to manually track sources, compile information, and do our best to put some pizzazz into the insanely boring spreadsheet-style reports.  Now, with a few simple prompts, we can ask AI to prepare it for us.  […]

What do you suppose the hope for Kidz kids are doing? For many, life and chores go on as usual, though they miss the hot meal they used to receive at school.  For some who have been living with a family just to attend school, it’s the chance to go home for a couple of […]

A number of our pastors lost their homes in the 2021 earthquake.  Their most urgent desire was to get their sanctuaries repaired, leaving their homes to last.  One such situation was the Pederin church.  The pastor has been without a home for 5 years.  Their Sister Church, Creekside Community Church (Gainesville, FL) saw his need […]
