God is at Work
Last year was yet another very difficult year for Haiti. Teams were canceled due to political insecurity in the country. Despite times when the RMI Haiti office had to shut down, God enabled the ministry to continue. Our staff is dedicated, hardworking, and committed to RMI. They have kept working even in the midst of some tough times. God has been faithful and supplied the funds to keep RMI running even though teams weren’t able to come. A special thanks to those who donated to the Haiti Field. We rejoice in that!
