Two churches from vastly different cultures joining together in a mutually designed and mutually beneficial long-term, sustainable, culturally relevant, and strategic relationship. Not independent, and not dependent, but interdependent.
C3 means “cross-cultural church-to-church”. These partnerships are long-term, strategic relationships between a US church and a church in Haiti or the Dominican Republic. RMI manages the relationship for the purpose of developing cultural intimacy, purpose, realistic objectives with the ultimate goal of developing stronger Christ followers in the US church as well as the foreign church. C3 Partnerships are designed to provide touch points for every member in both churches so everyone has the opportunity for involvement.
Christ has called the Church Body to be engaged with one another – not dependent on one another – not independent of each other – but interdependent with one another. RMI mobilizes C3 Partnerships to effectively engage in transforming lives and ministering one-to-another and into their communities as part of Christ’s body. With RMI as your bridge and facilitator you will be connected cross-culturally with the national culture.
C3 partnerships distinguish themselves through long-term, strategic, evangelistic, relational, inclusive, transformative, effective, and accountable engagement with a Sister Church.
Life Transformation is our ultimate driver. Our mission is to see lives transformed not only spiritually but also economically, socially, and physically–to reach the whole man.
C3 partnerships provide comprehensive, long-term, relational, and strategic church engagement, all facilitated by RMI’s experienced in-country team, ensuring cultural relevance and mutual benefit.
Each C3 partnership focuses on ministering to one another and their community using our 5 Point Impact Strategy.
These points provide a holistic approach to the partnership.
A warm relationship and collaboration in ministry designed to bring mutual benefit to both churches.
The churches cross all cultural bonds to come together in a culturally relevant manner guided by RMI.
Language, cultural, racial and economic barriers are broken as each church sees, feels, experiences and embraces the needs of their Sister Church.
Partnership involves the discussing of felt needs as opposed to assumed needs. Churches pray, plan, create and work out solutions together.
Relationships deepen as the churches continue to worship, witness, and work together over many years.
Where there is economic or practical need, the US Church can offer various forms of aid through RMI’s guidance.
You are able to assist and resource the local church to evangelize their community and plant churches in unreached areas for Christ.
The ultimate goal of all endeavors is the spiritual enrichment of both churches so together they can see their communities transformed for Christ.
