Hope for Hispaniola: Walk|Run|Ride

An army of walkers, runners, and riders fueling RMI’s future ministry on the Island of Hispaniola.

Join the Movement! Let's Go!

You can change the course of history.  That sounds a bit epic.  Yet we believe this truly captures what we’re about to do together.  You can be a part of something that we’ll one day look back on as truly historic.

We’re looking for individuals like you who want to join a movement—an army of people walking, running, or riding, raising funds together in support of RMI’s “VISION | NEXT Campaign.

Together, we will establish our ministry in the Dominican Republic, launch the Ezra Institute to develop leaders, and rebuild the earthquake destroyed ministry center in Zanglais, Haiti, to support future teams.

All the Details

Will You Join the Movement?:  We’re asking an army of people, just like you, to Walk, Run, or Ride to raise funds to fuel RMI’s ministries on the Island of Hispaniola—in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.  The funds raised will go directly to fund RMI’s 2 year campaign, “VISION | NEXT.  More information HERE.

What is Our Goal:  Our goal is to have 25 participants in 25 locations.  This means 625 total participants working together to accomplish something HUGE.  We’re asking each participant to commit to raising $1000 or more, but you can choose any amount (If you prefer, you may choose to give all or a portion of your goal yourself).  $1000 equals just 10 people sponsoring you at $100 each!  25 participants x 25 locations x $1000 = $625,000!

What Will You Actually Do?  During the signup process, you’ll customize your own campaign, activity, and fundraising goals.  You’ll choose to do a Walk, Run, or Ride. You’ll choose the length of your activity. You’ll choose the amount that you’d like to raise/give.  Your goals are completely flexible.

When Will the Event Happen?:  Individuals and teams may choose to Walk, Run, or Ride together, or they may do it individually.  We’re asking everyone to complete their activity by September 31, 2025. 

How to Sign Up?:  You click on the button to “Sign Up to Walk|Run|Ride“. Once given the option, you’ll be able to choose a team to join.  If your church does not have a team, you should choose “Team RMI”.

Customized Campaign Page?:  You’ll have a unique campaign page just for you.  HERE is a sample campaign.  You’ll be able to share your campaign link with friends and family, encouraging them to sponsor you as you Walk, Run, or Ride.  Your sponsors will visit your campaign page, and they’ll be able to either pledge to give once your Walk|Run|Ride event is complete, or they will also be able to donate immediately.  Each time a person pledges or donates, you’ll get an email notification.
