Page 2 of 2 The expanded dreamAs a result of the strong testimony among hundreds of pastors and church leaders in Mexico, RMIC has an opportunity to take bold steps and use new tactics to break the old cycle of one dimensional mission work. RMIC has developed training and equipping concepts for native young men and women to be Business as Mission missionaries for their own country. RMIC's Business as Mission Training CenterCurrently RMIC has property in the Sacramento Mountains in south central New Mexico, USA, where we are making plans for a large missionary training center. This center will be comprised of several diverse but compatible operations. In addition to the daily need for shelter and sustenance there will be a complete curriculum of bible and character building studies. There will also be theory classes in many different vocational skills. More importantly there will also be real on the job work and training to put the class room work into practice. These jobs will be managed by our own independent companies that will work in conjunction with the training center. The mountain community where this will all take place is high mountain country with four seasons, lush timber and more remote than most other communities in this part of the state. It is ideal for the kind of training center we are putting together. Each student will attend under a student visa and will have part-time working privileges. Each student will have fifty percent of their income deposited in a capital savings account. Each student will be paid the going rate for the position they fulfill, in the trade and or service they are working. The required qualifications for the individuals who apply is for them to be first Christians and also to have a good testimony within their own family and local church community. Secondly, formal education of at least the elementary level is necessary but advanced education, although appreciated and accepted, is not required. A successful period of monitoring some training, orientation and testing for general knowledge, Christian principals, moral foundation and work ethic will precede any official enrollment in the complete program. This is all done in the community of residence of the individual making application. The complete training, entrepreneurial skills and capital acquisition program will all be done within the USA. There is a large packed gravel and dirt airstrip, 5,000 feet long at an elevation of 6,830 feet above sea-level. From this high mountain strip we will train native Mexican men and women to be missionary bush pilots. After they earn their pilots license, part of their training will consist of performing many hours of co-pilot flying duty, to service the greater Sacramento Mountain communities. This mountain flying will prepare them for their more difficult challenges as bush pilots in Mexico, serving in the ministry. Small planes are one of the key elements of access to many of Mexico, Central and South America's most rural areas. So, this aspect of our mission outreach is critical to our overall success. All the various company and training positions will be filled with qualified professionals from the ranks of the many men and women who are seeking to fulfill their goals and dreams of service and ministry. The whole Sacramento Mountain Range is filled with many communities that need skilled labor for new construction, remodeling, maintenance, forestry, logging, small business services and small plane transportation service. Our training center will train dozens, then hundreds and even thousands of young Mexican men and women from mountain villages and rural areas. After two to three years when their training is over, we will return them to their villages with new skills and with new business capital to provide for their new entrepreneurial adventure. The personal and financial mentoring will be carried over into their return to their native communities where they will be furthered assisted and supervised in the establishment of their new businesses. There will be ongoing supervision for the use of their capital and for assisting each one to assure that they are as successful as possible in their new endeavors. Rejoining their local congregations, family and friends, they will become very key elements in the future spiritual and economic growth of their communities. They will take with them the team support, experience, knowledge and spiritual maturity to be leaders, goal setters and visionaries, in Christ's Kingdom. They will be inspired to teach everything they have learned to others within their community. RMIC will need many individuals to join us and to be a part of this new chapter in missions. We hope and pray that some of you will one day join us in this great undertaking. RMIC is one of your ministry and missionary options, and in this case even to utilize your own BAM Company as part of the team.
