WHAT IS OUR ORGANIZATION? We are with the organization RMI (Reciprocal Ministries International). RMI has been around for 30+ years in Haiti and they are now opening a new field in the Dominican Republic. RMI bridges cultures and transforms lives through church to church partnerships. We facilitate and are the bridge to make this happen. We work hand in hand with churches in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, to enable them and resource them for life transformation.
We do this through evangelism, discipleship, education, community development and social compassion. Through this amazing ministry, we get to be a part of helping the body of Christ from the United States AND Haiti/DR come together. It’s a beautiful thing to see two different churches from two totally different nations and cultures, come together and encourage, build up and help each other. They get to know each other through the years and become a sister church to each other. This helps enable the Haitian churches to be equipped in so many ways to then go out and evangelize, disciple and help their own community and people.
Along with this amazing ministry there are so many other things we do as well including our Hope for Kidz child/school sponsorship program, Sun Tech team that installs solar panel systems on churches and schools, construction of schools, churches & homes, our goat program, water filtration program and food program.
WHAT DO WE DO? There are many needs in Haiti and the DR. Being missionaries on the island of Hispaniola where both of these countries are located will be a multi-faceted ministry where we won’t always be doing just one thing. (See “ABOUT” page for more information on what the need is and what we will be doing in the DR)
Some days Jim will be doing day to day operations and also working with our partnership facilitators and C3 church partnerships in the states to give communication back and forth between the two. Other days Jim and April may be traveling out to different churches and/or schools to get to know them more, take video footage, interviews, updates, and pass out whatever items have been donated. Other days teams will be down and Jim will go out with them for the week, along with our other staff. We help bridge the gap between the two languages & cultures as they work together. We work to connect both the United States with Haiti and the Dominican Republic churches that we partner with. So they can build those long-lasting relationships together.
While at home with the children, April will also work on video footage and editing to share video updates with the churches back in the states. She also works on the social media posts for our organization.
