We have some great short-term opportunities this year for you to be a part of fulfilling Christ’s great commission . . .
Pioneer Bible Translators – Dallas, Texas
June 7th to June 12th – We will have a group going to Dallas TX to aid Pioneer Bible Translators for their Missions Institute. This group will provide childcare for the missionaries who are coming that week to investigate opportunities for them in the world to work with PBT. Heidi Wareham is leading that group and would love to connect with you about the opportunity.
Church Plant - New York City
June 11th to June 14th – Matt Bortmess be leading a group to NYC, the Big Apple. . . to work with a new church plant, Church of the Incarnation. We will help them with pre-launch tasks and promotion as this church prepares to launch this fall. NYC is a melting pot of the world . . . so while this is an opportunity to work state-side, what they are doing has the potential to reach the world.
ProEm - Poland
August 7 to August 16 – a group will be returning to Poland to work with ProEm Ministries, leading a week of church camp. Mary Ellen Oglesby is leading the RCC side of this trip up as we partner with Westside Christian in Springfield.
Endeavor Ministries – Louisville, Kentucky
Louisville is home to a large Musliim refugee group from Somalia. Endeavor Ministries reaches out to this group in many ways. This weekend trip is a great opportunity for families to serve. In the past the trip has included a soccer camp, arts and crafts, giving away collected shoes and a photo studio day. Debbie Burke is leading this team and we’ll have more information later in the year.
Trips that are in the works but have not been finalized include:
For His Glory Outreach – Haiti
Larry Becker, an RCC member who serves on the board of FHG, is looking to put together some work teams to go down and assist the orphanage in various ways: manual labor, medical clinics, eye exams . . . and a lot of holding of the children.
In His Hands Orphans Outreach – location: ??
Michelle McGowan leads In His Hands Orphans Outreach ministry and is working on establishing an orphanage in either Brazil or Guatemala. There are some factors still up in the air but there will definitely be an opportunity to go and serve and help this ministry.
We should get more details on both of these opportunities soon..
