God has answered our prayers and is growing the RMI family. We are excited to introduce Lee and Tina Nunemaker to you as our newest missionary appointees. Twenty one years ago Lee met RMI president, Dan Shoemaker, while he was in Haiti on a 2 week ministry trip. The discussions that he had with Dan stayed with him through his Bible college years, as he got married, became a youth pastor and then as an associate pastor. When his church wanted to send a group to Haiti, he reached out to the one person he knew had extensive experience in Haiti: Dan. Lee and Tina had a great time in Haiti with their team in the summer of 2010. They already had a heart for missions and when they got home God began to move in their hearts and they came to feel that He was calling them to serve as full time missionaries with RMI in Haiti.
Lee and Tina are from Greencastle, Penn. and have 4 boys: Daniel – 15, Josiah – 13, Nathan – 8, and Isaac – 4. 
They took the boys to Haiti in March. They were able to be involved, as a family, in quite a bit of ministry as well as a lot of fun. They met missionary kids their own age and it didn’t take long for them to bond not only to their new friends but to the country of Haiti. The whole family especially enjoyed and bonded with the Thompson family. One of the Nunemaker boys commented that Rob and Lee were “just alike”. [That’s the Thompson kids and the 2 younger boys in the Thompson’s tree house.]

Lee and Tina attended RMI’s M.A.C.E., Mutual Assessment and Candidate Evaluation last week. It was very special to learn of their journey up to this point and see how God has uniquely prepared them for ministry in Haiti. Lee will be helping direct the Sister Church Partnerships, working with leadership development and as a team facilitator. Tina’s ministry will be taking care of the family as well as involvement with RMI. Her niche is yet to be determined – she has a lot to offer and we’re all excited to see what develops once she gets to the field.
Raising their support is the next order of business for them. It’s a very tall order, but they are confident that God will provide because they are confident in their call to Haiti. Pray with us that their support will come in quickly.
You can find Lee and Tina on Facebook (look for Tina Eisenberger Nunemaker and Lee Nunemaker). There you’ll see quite a few photos of their trip to Haiti. Their emails are: lee.nunemaker@rminet.org and tina.nunemaker@rminet.org. Welcome them to the RMI family!
Would you consider becoming a member of their support team?!
