New Goal Move Date! :)

We are so excited to see how God has been moving in our Haiti journey recently! Our organization is really needing us down there so we have moved our goal move date to this coming March! That is why it’s so important that our supporters start now! We know many people love visuals 😉 so we created this fun graphic to share how many supporters we have in the current levels right now (RED) and how many we still need (GRAY) in each level. WOULD YOU CONSIDER JOINING OUR TEAM AND PICKING WHICHEVER LEVEL YOU’D LIKE?

We would love to have you join our team, & stay in touch with you now but especially when we move down there! YOU can be a part of what God is and will be doing in Haiti! GO HERE TO START: https://bit.ly/2hGUnWjStarkey FamilyMonthly Supporters.png

P.S. We will be sharing an updated email newsletter here this week with you all, now that our computer is back from being repaired. We look forward to sharing how God has been working in our lives and this journey!

Love,

Jim & April

Calling ALL churches & small groups!!!

married (1)

Hey friends! Can you believe October 16th will already be one year since we went public and shared how God is having our family move to Haiti as missionaries? With the leaving of 2 missionary families who retired, our organization is really needing us down there more than they even did at the beginning of our journey and they are trying hard to do all they can to get us down there. Would you consider becoming a monthly supporter and become a part of our team? Follow this link to join our team today! 🙂

We are NOW LOOKING for churches or small groups/bible studies across the USA that would love to have us come and speak at their church! We can talk in as little as 10 minutes or use the whole service, up to you! If you live in OHIO or surrounding states and wouldn’t mind connecting us with your church or small group/bible study, we would be FOREVER GRATEFUL. We still have a ways to go (about 70%) in our monthly support that we need. We know God knows WHO He will use so we are praying for the opportunity to share what He is doing in our lives, in Haiti and encourage others as we are on this journey to Haiti. Please contact us HERE or email us at jim.starkey@rmibridge.org or april.starkey@rmibridge.org

Thank you all so much for your prayers & support! You truly will never know how much it means to us! ❤

Love,

Jim & April

Praises & Prayer requests!

April's SuperHeroes!
PRAISES FIRST!
*Praising God for another family who joined our team and became a monthly supporter of ours this week.
*Praise that we received $1,000 towards our one-time moving costs from Hilltop Community Church’s VBS AND we don’t know how much yet, but another VBS donated to us as well, which is such a blessing and encouragement to us.
*Praise that we’ve had the opportunity to speak at two different churches the past month. Thank you Hilltop Community & Faith UMC for having us, what a blessing it was for our family to be there.
*Praise that our first church partnership sent in their first 6 months of support this week and what a blessing & encouragement it was to us to see their faithfulness in giving to our journey.
*Jim’s sweet grandparents decided to have donations that people sent for Jim’s grandpa’s home-going to heaven, go to us and Jim’s other cousin as well. So even through loss, God used family to encourage our hearts and bring some more for our one-time moving costs.
PRAYER REQUESTS: 
1. As of right now, we have no more speaking opportunities scheduled on our calendar BUT we are excited because we fully trust that now that we are open, God will be leading us to the next “tuft of grass” and opening more doors. We trust Him and are excited to see where He will lead us next. So please be praying with us for more churches to find out about us and want us to come and speak at their church.
3. Please pray for April as she starts homeschooling both boys this year at the end of August as this will be the first year doing that, plus having little Zeke to keep busy too.
4. Please pray for God to continue to use this journey even on this side of Haiti, to grow us in Him and grow others as well. That we would continue to feel His peace and joy through the waiting stage and wisdom to know how to go about each new step.
5. For God to connect us with the families, individuals and churches He wants to use to be our monthly supporters. We would LOVE to be at 50% by the beginning or middle of Fall and right now we are still at 1/4 of the way there so we have a ways to go but we truly believe it could easily happen with just another 10-20 families/individuals coming alongside us! God knows who they are and we are excited to find out in the future who they are too and have them be a part of our team!
Thank you so much everyone! ❤ We love you all and appreciate your prayers more than you know!
