WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF GLOBAL?

As Jesus was ending His time on Earth, He gave purpose to the church and one of its main reasons for existing — the Great Commission. Jesus challenges us to take His message and live it out locally, regionally and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). This is a monumental, GLOBAL task that can only be accomplished through prayer, obedience, and generosity. It requires PARTNERSHIP.

That is why RIVER CITY GLOBAL has become the umbrella under which all of our mission activities are organized. It is not so much a stand-alone ministry as it is a church-wide coordination of outreach efforts. Our GLOBAL Partners are the hands and feet of Christ locally and around the world. Their willingness to go where God has called them—whether across town or across the ocean—inspires us and reminds us that we each have a calling. By utilizing GLOBAL at River City, we have seen an amazing increase in passion for missions, financial contributions, and effectiveness on mission fields around the world.

The RIVER CITY GLOBAL strategy is simple: instead of reacting to every need around us, we have formed strategic partnerships with many who are actively doing effective ministry. Prayer, hands-on support, and financial resources are then focused on making those Partners as successful as they can be.

It is a bold and far-reaching way of doing missions, yet intensely personal and relational.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?

PRAY.  The greatest way we can support our Partners is through lifting them up and surrounding them with prayer.

GIVING. By focusing our giving to this one account, Global is able to annually support the work of our Partners. Funds that are received above and beyond the annual budget can go towards special projects that greatly enhance the effectiveness of these ministries.

JOIN THE GLOBAL TEAM. The Global Team meets monthly to pray for the partners, support short-term mission efforts in the church, and actively stays connected with Partners through consistent communication.

GLOBAL OUTCOMES

1. To partner with our brothers and sisters through prayer and financial support as they minister to a world that is hurting, broken, and far from God.
2. That we would be moved to pray as God breaks our hearts for the poor and needy. To continue providing food for the hungry and clean water for the thirsty.  To rescue the orphans, care for the widows, shelter the homeless, educate the marginalized, and heal the sick.
3. That God would move supernaturally through our generosity and provide more than enough for our Global Partners to accomplish their mission with confidence and joy.
4. That the gospel would be proclaimed clearly and that those who are distant from God would become His daughters and sons.
5. That God would captivate our hearts and minds with the gospel and each River City family member would engage in international outreach.
