About RTS Missions

RTS Missions LogoRTS Missions has been serving the country of Haiti since 2006.  The Shepherd family moved to Haiti full time in October 2014.  Since that time RTS Missions has launched a Christian school with two campuses educating almost 900 children.  RTS also has six churches in their OneThree Church Network with roughly 2,000 members.  Our churches work hard serving their communities and providing direction for development, as well as the spiritual guidance people are longing for.  RTS Missions works hard to be a voice for children at risk of falling into a life of child slavery (Restavek), as well as trafficking.  The organizations three main priorities are education, spiritual development, and social justice.

RTS Missions employs over 80 national employees providing them the opportunity to provide for their families and send their kids to school.  For most families, it is the first job they have ever had and the first time anyone in their family has gotten an education.  Your support of RTS Missions and this Shop Shack provides for all RTS Missions is doing to change lives.  You are the HERO!  Thank you!
