OHMI APPLICATION
We want to thank you for your interest in partnering with One Heart Ministries International (OHMI) and our
vision for the nation of Haiti. We look forward to getting to know you.
Purpose of Application
It is very important that we represent the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world with truth, purity, love,
selflessness and integrity. We want to make sure everyone is well equipped and prepared to serve. The
application sets up guidelines, accountability, and boundaries so that we are protected from UNNECESSARY
attacks from the enemy. Most IMPORTANTLY, it gives us a reference in hand (God forbid), in case of an in-
country situation/difficulty.
Objective
OHMI has worked in the nation of Haiti for the past 10 years. Along with local pastors, leaders, and
orphanages, we have established several projects which meet the basic needs of the Haitian people.
Because we are committed to Haiti and its people in a very focused and energetic way, OHMI sends teams
of volunteers, doctors, nurses, pastors, and counselors on a regular basis.
Goals
Our primary goal is to share the love of Jesus. Second, it is to respond to the physical need of the Haitian
people. 1. You will be working with a group of Haitian doctors in providing medical care for poor Haitians.
2. You will participate in our Annual Pastors conference. 3. You will be working with local orphanages. 4.
You will be involved in our VBS for 500 street children. 5. You will be involved in our Dry-feeding program
for local families. 6. Well be serving/working with one of partner elementary school.
Details
We will be working within the city of Port-au-Prince and the surrounding area alongside our affiliates there.
Date of Trip
Leaving: Novermber 4, 2017 Returning: November 12, 2017. We will be staying in Port-Au-Prince at the
Vila Ormiso compound.
Cost per person is $2,200. The flight will depart out of MCI (Kansas City International Airport). It will be a
very EARLY FLIGHT. Robyn Brumble (Medical Team Leader) and Tabitha Adams (OHMI Co-Director) will
be the primary administrative/organizers for all stateside details.
Vaccinations: It is not mandatory, but highly recommended to update your vaccinations. Check
with your personal healthcare provider. It is recommended to update Hep A, Hep B, Tetanus,
Typhoid and Malaria.
Over the last ten years, the Lord has moved many to serve children in the worlds Orphan
Window. From adoptive families, to people going on mission trips, to parachurch ministries
facilitating orphan care, to local churches caring for kids, the Orphan Awakening has reached a
tipping point. New entrants into global orphan care thirst for information about the journey
ahead. Whats the context? What should we expect? How do we move forward?
If you want to learn more about Haiti, I would highly encourage each team member to grab a
copy of The Orphan Report. It offers in-depth insight into the roots of Haitis poverty and the
orphan crisis.

A. $50 Application Fee: Please make sure the application fee comes in the form of a Money order
or a check payable to James Adams. In the memo line please write Application Fee. Please be
aware THIS IS NOT-REFUNDABLE.
B. Last Minute Cancelation: Due to in-country and states administrative expenses, there is a $350
fee for last minute cancelation. Theres a lot of preparation, time, planning that goes on both
states and in-country side. Our team on the ground works tirelessly to make sure we have
everything we need upon arrival.
Applicants that are unable to make payments at the time agreed upon WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
COME. NO EXCEPTIONS!
2. Failure to Complete Application: All applicants are required to complete the entire application

group training and bi-weekly prayer focus.
3. Airfare: Once tickets are purchased, applicants are responsible for any personal changes and

dismissal, a team member does not have the money, OHMI will lend the amount with the

How long and how well have you known the individual?
What is your assessment of the individuals ability to handle situations involving change, crisis,
and correction?
Life of prayer and communion with God: It is critical that every individual on an OHMI ministry
trip have a consistent relationship and fellowship with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit.
Teachability: We ask every team member to have a teachable spirit. Be quick to listen and learn,
and slow to speak.
Team Unity: OHMIs greatest strength is the call to be a unit as we minister together overseas. We
strongly believe in the principle of being each others keeper. We serve one another, prefer one
another above ourselves. We cover each others weaknesses and encourage each other in our
strengths.
Beyond Reproach: In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in
doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to
shame, having nothing bad to say about us. Titus 2:7-8. We ask all team members to uphold a
clean, modest, and non-distracting appearance in how they dress for all ministry engagements.
Financial Obligation: Every team member is responsible to raise all required finances on time. If
you cannot provide your finances, you will not be able to come. We DO NOT reimburse, if for
some personal reason you decide not to come.
Giving Gifts: Team members are to NOT give cash or personal gifts of any kind to any individuals
that they encounter during their time on the mission field. One Heart Ministries International is
committed to working with communities to help meet the needs of the local people in a way that
does not create dependency or a sense of entitlement. If you are led to give, the gift must be given
directly to the One Heart Ministries International leadership team for proper distribution.
Personal Contact: No personal contact is to be made out to any individuals in Haiti. All
communication should be directed through One Heart Ministries International.
Participation: Participation is not an option. Every team member is required to participate in all
projects and team/ministry activities. Again, we go to serve, not to be served.
Fun: Fun is not an option; Its mandatory. Every team MUST have fun as they love, serve, and bless
the people of God. We will have a day of rest.

ONE HEART MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL understands the need for safety precautions as it plans
short-term mission trips for the members. We will take reasonable precautions to provide a safe
opportunity for foreign missions exposure. As we plan every trip, we will work closely with
national church leaders and veteran missionaries to communicate the need for safety for trip
participants in their lodgings and their activities. However, we cannot guarantee the complete
safety of every individual on any specific trip.
We promise that we will not get involved in political activities or schedule activities that involve
unnecessary opposition. We will work closely with national church leaders or veteran missionaries
who are aware of the political climate and will follow their instructions. However, we also
understand that the very nature of our activities in preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ is offensive
and will at times provoke strong opposition. At those times we will defer to the national leaders
and will make every reasonable attempt to protect trip participants. We also understand that at
times a country we may be visiting can erupt into violence that is impossible to predict and not of
our doing. On those occasions, we will do everything reasonably possible to protect trip
participants and remove them from the area or the country as soon as possible. In the event of a
terrorist attack that would result in a hostage situation, the policy of One Heart Ministries
International and Fire Church is that we will not negotiate with the terrorists. However, we will do
all within our power and in close cooperation with national leaders to obtain the release of any
member of our team.
