Sometimes the working of God is not evident in the way that we want or expect it to be. We can’t measure it by our human criteria. But we can always be assured that He is definitely at work. Despite having to cancel 22 teams due to Haiti’s political instability, our C3 partners continued to care for their Haitian partners. Ministry took place even in the face of uncertainty. God has held us in His hands, protected our staff and properties, and allowed ministry to take place. We are grateful to know that God has definitely been at work in RMI.

And you help make it possible with your financial and prayer support. Thank you! The Lord’s work is being done because of you.
