About RMI
“Remaking lives through Christ worldwide by making disciples
who live like Jesus through biblical training and mentoring.”
Our Mission
Remaking lives through Christ worldwide by making disciples who live like Jesus through biblical training and mentoring.
Our Vision
Making disciples who live like Jesus, filling the earth with God’s glory.
Who We Serve
English and Spanish-speaking communities in the United States, Spanish-speaking countries, and beyond — through in-person and online discipleship, small groups, and evidence-based curriculum integrating faith-based mental health support, substance use recovery education, and leadership development.
Our Core Values
The convictions that shape everything we do
Christ-Centered Identity
We help individuals discover who they are in Christ, moving from labels of shame to a secure, redeemed identity.
“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.” — 2 Cor 5:17
Lifelong Apprenticeship
Discipleship is a daily journey of surrender, obedience, and growth in Christ-likeness. We walk alongside others as we grow.
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves…” — Luke 9:23
Transformation Through Community
Healing happens in relationships. We commit to small groups, peer support, and grace-filled accountability.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” — Prov 27:17
Living From the Word
The Holy Bible shapes how we live, speak, and make decisions. God’s Word guides our healing, discipleship, and leadership.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Ps 119:105
Called to Serve
We are saved not only from something, but for something. We equip disciples to live out their faith and serve others.
“Created in Christ Jesus to do good works…” — Eph 2:10
Healing as Holiness
Emotional, mental, and spiritual healing are not separate — they’re part of becoming like Christ. We pursue healing as discipleship.
“May God himself sanctify you through and through.” — 1 Thes 5:23
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Ephesians 2:10 — NIV
