Celebrating Generosity: Global Missions

Tony PedroniCelebrating Generosity, Media, MissionsMarch 29, 2017 1 Comment0

The RBC Missions program officially began in 1978 supporting 3 missionaries with a total annual budget of $5000 per year.  Since those early years, our involvement in what God is doing around the world has exploded.  Each year we are blessed to send multiple teams of RBC adults and youth on short term missions trips to support evangelistic efforts, construction projects, camps for children and more.  Additionally, 19 of our RBC families and singles are currently serving the LORD oversees long-term and it is our great privilege to be their home sending church.

Because of decades of your continual generosity, today your giving extends to 59 countries supporting 191 missionaries including many nationals serving in their country of origin. Through your prayers and giving, and our missionary family, God is planting churches in areas where none exist, caring for refugees and bringing them to salvation in Jesus, training pastors in oversees bible colleges and seminaries, translating Scripture into other languages, supporting urban & rural churches, ministering to orphans and children and much more.

Through you and your generosity, God is reaching the nations with the love of Christ.

From our humble beginning of allocating $5000 to overseas missions, your faithful giving to the general fund has expanded the annual budget for these global mission efforts to over $1.5 million per year. The results since 1978?  Over $36.8 million given towards world missions. Even more importantly, God has used you to bring tens of thousands of lives to a saving knowledge of Himself, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

So again, I thank each of you for your generosity.  I encourage you to keep keeping on, for our Lord is worthy of it!

    I thank God for the insight He has given to Mike and the rest of the leadership through the years to be involved in the Great Commission! That final direction to reach the whole world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ has not changed in over 2000 years. Praise God you are being faithful to what God wants us to be faithful to: His message of salvation to all who believe in Christ. Amen and amen.
