Food distribution this week in Haiti... "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Beacon EFC Morency.

44 Goats

In February Bob Davis went to Haiti for the first time with his Ft. Myers, FL church. They mixed and poured concrete for a school floor. They put a new tin roof on the school 4-seater outhouse. They held an open air service one evening. They played with the kids. They painted school benches. They worshiped and fellowshipped with national believers. They developed relationships. And in the process Bob fell in love with Haiti and the people.

When he returned home he felt burdened to continue helping Haiti in anyway he could. That’s when he remembered hearing about RMI’s Goats 4 Haiti Program. He had seen first hand how much having a goat meant to families in Haiti and what a difference it could make it their lives. He felt this was something that was very “do-able” as far as raising the funds. So with his mission pastor’s blessing, he put together a power point presentation and presented the project to not one but several Life Group classes in his large church. Gathering the funds for 10 goats was his goal.

This week, Bob came to the RMI office with the checks and presented them to RMI President, Dan Shoemaker. His total? Forty-four goats. Enough to bless families in not only the church they visited in February but several other churches.

Just one man and a burden. Forty four goats. Think what you could do. What a challenge!

You can find out more about Goats 4 Haiti HERE.

Fond Farewell

Goodbyes are never easy yet this month we have to say goodbye to Greg and Star Harvie. They are moving on to the next phase in their lives in their home area of Nebraska. They fly to the US on April 8. No, farewells are not actually fond, but they have made many fond friends and fond memories during their 4 years of service with RMI in Haiti.

They have been a real asset to RMI and a key to our growth in southern Haiti. Greg has done a great job of organizing and upgrading RMI’s garage as well as our fleet of vehicles. He helped to acquire several needed specialty vehicles, as well as a great generator for the Zanglais Ministry Center, among many other things. Star has helped to lead our Hope for Kidz team and all the myriad of details that this program requires. They will be missed by both the missionaries and the RMI national staff.

Pray for them as they re-settle into life in the US. HERE is their latest e-newsletter, which gives more details of their plans as well as their phone number. You can always find them on Facebook as usual, too.
