I’m crying, but I bet you don’t know why…

I am here working in my office.  It’s really quiet.  Too quiet…

It’s a day off for our national staff.  It’s a national holiday here in Haiti.  As Americans living here in Haiti, we tend to take the major American Holidays off.

But, today, on their day off, there are 2 ladies working in the kitchen.  They are preparing food for the team that arrives tomorrow from TX.  No break for these ladies.  No rest for the weary as we say.  I have said it so many times already.  There is no way I can describe the appreciation I have for the national staff.  They work hard.  They are dedicated.  They come when they must.  They leave when the job is done.  They don’t complain.  They are servants.  They are a team.

Why am I crying?  Not because I am sad.  Not because I am happy.  It’s because these ladies are cutting onions.  The tears are rolling down my cheeks!

News Directly Related to Your Partnership in Haiti…

Greetings from RMI in Haiti!

We are about to roll out some things here in Haiti directly related to your C3 Partnership.  Before doing so, we wanted to make sure you understand what we will be doing.  We also want to make sure you, and others like you, have the opportunity to stay "in the loop".

Partnership Updates...
Every month, if not more, a member of the RMI team will be visiting your Haitian church for the purpose of accountability, monitoring, and information gathering.  These visits will prompt "Partnership Update" emails to you with information, letters form your Sister Church, pictures, stories, etc.  Subscribe Here.

Partnership Profiles...
We want you to be informed and have all the info you need at your fingertips to engage, to plan, to pray, to celebrate, to be informed.  Therefore, we are creating dynamic "Partnership Profiles" for each of our C3 Partnerships.  Dynamic - constantly being updated, not static. These profiles will also be available at http://links.rmibridge.org/c3updates.  If there is not a profile available for your partnership now, there will be as soon as it works it way through the process of editing and posting by our Haitian and Missionary staff.

Partnership Pathways...
We believe in planning.  We have been listening to you.  We have been listening to our Haitian churches.  We want to have the greatest impact.  Therefore, we are creating a unique "Partnership Pathway", or plan, for each of our C3 Partnerships.  As your pathway becomes available, you will hear form us, that is IF you are subscribed. (This is the same Partnership Updates subscription listed above.)

An archive of the 3 items above will always be available to you at http://links.rmibridge.org/c3updates.  Maybe you want to Bookmark it.
