#GivingTuesday

Giving Tuesday is tomorrow!

What? Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving.

Why? Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

Who? RMI has a wide variety of giving opportunities…our Christmas campaign includes beds for widows, goats, bicycles, soccer balls, boxes of food and classroom supplies. RMI is also urgently needing gifts for Haiti field staff salaries. RMI operations needs funding to keep the many ministries going and the Starkey family, who are desperately needed on the field immediately, are raising their funds to go as soon as possible.

When you give through RMI you are guaranteed that your gift will be used as you intended it – financial accountability.

When you give through RMI you can know that your gift will have a direct impact on lives in Haiti – transforming lives.

When? Giving Tuesday is tomorrow….but the needs are ongoing. The holidays and end-of-the-year is the perfect time to take advantage of the specials that we have available and to take care of your year-end tax-deductible contributions.

How? It’s easy, go to www.RMIbridge.org/financial-donations. Or call the RMI office at 239-368-8390.

Let’s Pray

More than a trite saying…”let’s pray” is a refrain that is heard often around RMI.  That’s because we have an unshakeable belief in the power of prayer.  We bathe most of what we do in prayer.  We pray together and individually in the US office for our ministry, for one another, for our missionaries and appointees, and for our supporters.  The Haiti field staff also prays together in their daily devotional meetings and are intentional in leading teams in prayer before they leave on their trip to their C3 partner churches, before work projects, medical clinics, youth, men, women, and children’s meetings, open air services and any other activity that the teams are undertaking.  There’s prayer at the end of their visit and prayer during the debriefing the last night before they leave. 

Prayers before a team hits the road to go to their Sister Church.

Prayers before starting a youth meeting.

Prayers by the deacons for the team members.

Prayers before an open air service.

Prayers by wives and families that are back home for their men doing a construction project at their Sister Church.

 

Goodbye prayers and praise as a team leaves their C3 partner church.

There’s a lot accomplished as a result of prayer!
