When Asher Stillman went to Haiti with his church, Bethany Baptist Church, Myakka, FL, in 2017, he left with a burden to return to serve the Lord and help the RMI staff in any way he could. He graduated from high school as a homeschooler and has already completed two years of college credits. (He participated as a dual enrollment student while in HS.) He comes from a large family of 10 and they are all very active in their church. His parents encourage all of their kids to take some time after graduation and before moving on with life to serve the Lord in something like this internship. He wanted to take some time to get away and be alone with God before having too much responsibility, making it hard to have this time to serve. He is handy and loves to get his hands dirty as well as be involved in ministry, so he helped in installing a new bathroom for the RMI conference room, painting, food distribution, miscellaneous jobs around the office and depot, even troubleshooting the ice machine. He assisted RMI missionary, Joslynn Stakes, teach physical education at the missionary children’s school on Thursdays and Fridays. He will be leaving to serve in the Marines in January where he hopes to train as a firefighter.
His reaction to his month long internship? “I love it! It’s an awesome experience getting to work alongside the Haitians and learn the language and culture while serving the Lord and doing his work.”
We have really appreciated his willingness to help and dig into every job he has been given, his can-do attitude, and his love for the Lord. He’s been a real asset and joy to have!
If you, or someone you know, are interested in an internship with RMI, contact the RMI office at info@rmibridge.org. We would love to give you an opportunity to serve the Lord!
