Debbie Shoemaker, Director of Communications
As Director of Communications, Debbie is responsible for all of RMI's publications, brochures, displays and branding. She also supervises RMI social media activities. She writes, edits and designs RMI's products, including editing the missionaries' newsletters. Being a TCK (Third Culture Kid - her parents were missionaries with Child Evangelism Fellowship, pioneering CEF's ministry on US military bases in Germany) helped her transition into being a missionary wife to Dan in Haiti. During their 25 years in Haiti they raised 2 TCKs of their own who are now young adults and will soon welcome their first grandchild into the family. She enjoys jewelry making, crafting, and time with family. One of her most favorite things about living in the US (after 25 years in the tropics) is the fact that the entire house has air conditioning, making living life at home so much more enjoyable. You can contact her at debbie.shoemaker@rmibridge.org.
