Short Term Trips

We go to be witnesses to the ends of the earth. – Acts 1:8

Let's Go!

Imagine you and your team serving for a week in Haiti or the Dominican Republic.  We promise, you and the people you serve will never be the same again.

Experiencing the application of the Gospel across cultures is what Acts 1:8 is all about.  Short-term Mission trips are a great way to enable you and your church to put into action the encouragement for Christians to “be my witnesses…, to the ends of the earth”.

RMI has been facilitating short-term mission trips for more than 40 years. We take care of EVERYTHING from the moment you begin preparing, to the moment you arrive on the field, and to the moment you return home.  RMI provides pre-trip training, as well as a portal where Team Leaders, Team Members, and RMI Trip Coordinators will work together in one place to make sure everyone is prepared and everything is organized.

RMI staff are very intentional in helping you and your team engage in meaningful impact and life transformation, both for the people you are serving, and for your own lives as well.  Our goal is to help you successfully prepare and experience a fruitful trip.

Consider a Vision Trip

Come to Haiti to reconnect! You can certainly put a standard team together for a different date, but if it might be a good next step for you all, we’d love to invite just 2 or 3 people from your church to come along and visit the field with us.  IN Haiti, we’ll make a short visit to your church so you can reengage and take a vision back to your church. 

Come to the DR to minister and consider future ministry opportunities for your church.  Pick a date and let us know you’re interested!

Team Training: Be Prepared

Trip Portal Overview

Four Types of Teams

Vision Trip

These teams are exclusively for people who want to come explore more of what RMI is doing for the purpose of considering further engagement with and through RMI.  You will spend time touring RMI ministries.  Depending on funding and other available resources, there may also be opportunity to be involved in hands on ministry.

​You will stay at or near your C3 Partner location, ministering together, to one another and together into the community.  C3 Partners take these trips.  If you are not a current C3 Partner, but are seriously considering partnering with a Church, and you are ready to make a first trial visit to a potential partner, then this type of team is for you too.

These are teams of people who want to come help develop RMI, our people, our facilities, our resources, so that we can be more effective in all we do.  These teams may be work related, but work projects will be focused on RMI projects.  Opportunities for training and teaching the RMI Team are in abundance.

These teams are exclusively for teams who are coming to strategically focus on construction related projects.  These teams are typically not current C3 Partners, but they may be.  Every team must come with a minimum of $6,000 to help cover the cost of materials, labor and material transportation. The more funds you are able to provide, the more work that can be done.

Come minister to the medical needs in the DR. There are many ways non-medical personnel can minister and assist on a medical trip. Each team will have a national doctor and translators with them. The medical clinics are aimed at both Haitians and Dominicans.
