Meet RMI’s Newest Staff Members

John and Joanne Miner joined the RMI staff in RMI’s International Office in Ft. Myers, FL today.  They come to us from C3 Partner, Florida Bible Church, Miramar, FL.  They’ve been residents of Miami since they were children.  John comes from a long line of “elevator men” and recently retired from his position as Miami-Dade County, Deputy Chief, Department of Elevator Safety.    Joanne owned a Minuteman Press Printing franchise for 22 years and sold it in 2011. For the past 3 years she’s worked for her church as their business manager.  They went on their first ever mission trip in 2009 with their church and fell in love with RMI and the C3 Partnership Program.  They relocated to Ft. Myers to join RMI just in time to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary.  John enjoys motorcycling, following college basketball, and cooking.  Joanne enjoys photography.  They share a love for serving God and people and creative arts.  They just completed a “bucket list” trip to Ireland.

This is a double blessing for RMI.  Part of their responsibilities will be in helping to coordinate the C3 Partnership Program, raising up new C3 Partners and in donor engagement.   They will also be quite involved in the RMI Administration.  We are excited about the help they will be to current C3 Partnerships and with helping RMI to grow its ministries.

Their joining the staff means that the RMI International Office is experiencing growing pains.  We’ve played a bit of “musical offices”, switching things around to streamline the flow of work and collaboration.  Another change is that the garage space at the RMI office is being turned into a new conference room since the old one had to be turned into an office.  If you’re in the area, stop by to see the exciting results!
