RIMI is an indigenous missions organization – Indians reaching South Asia with the partnership of
God’s people from everywhere.
Our goal is to spiritually help people, especially those who are in South Asia.
Our model is to raise up indigenous leaders who will bring the good news to their own people.
This is much more effective because they are familiar with the language and culture and more
financially effective.
Here are a few features of our ministry:
- Passion for Sustainability: For the field staff that we
support, we only raise 50% of their
financial need and require them to raise the other 50% themselves. We wean them off of full
support within 5-7 years in order to build independent, self supporting communities. Even
after they have been weaned off of support they stay under our umbrella of authority for
continued leadership development and accountability purposes.
- Passion for Transformation: Our Mercy Homes extend help to any
child that has a need – not just
to orphans. Many of these children would be sold into slavery or prostitution if they did
not have the option of coming to our Mercy Homes. When our children finish high school, we
do not put them out into the streets. We encourage them to go to college and we help pay for
their education as well.
- Passion for Meaningful Partnership: We allow and encourage partners to communicate through our
office with those that they
are sponsoring. They can also personally visit them in the field. Your communication means
so much to the people since they rarely experience loving
and caring people who love them for who they are and without expecting anything in return.
You will also be blessed by their testimonies as they share how they found new joy in the
Lord and how He has been using them for His kingdom work.
Financial Responsibility
RIMI is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial
Accountability®. The ECFA is an independent organization who does continual remote and
onsite audits of ministries to make sure that they are doing what they say they are doing and
that they are conducting themselves in accordance with the relevant financial standards and
governmental laws.
As per the ECFA guidelines, we perfrom a review, compilation, or audit every fiscal year and file
a 990, both of which are available upon request.
