Embracing Neighbors, Nurturing Hope (Colossians 3:12-14)
Easter Offering for CBF Global Missions
RRCB Collection Goal: $10,000
River Road Church is a member of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF), a denominational organization committed to congregational partnerships, mission service and advocacy, theological education, and affirmation of women in ministry. We work together to spread the hope of Christ. Our support of the CBF Offering for Global Missions is vital in sharing the Good News in word and deed with the people most marginalized by the world.
The long-term presence of CBF field personnel, or missionaries, ministering in 13 countries around the world has never been more important as they work alongside the Global Church in equipping believers and communities. God wants people to be whole. God equips and completes with every good thing. Through the incomparable work of Jesus Christ, God is at work forming in us the characteristics that please God. Equipped, the church is able to do God’s will in a broken world, a world in need of The Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ. As the Global Church answers God’s call to equip and encourage, God is glorified forever and always.
Pray for the missionaries, for the people and places otherwise forgotten and forsaken, and pray for the Global Church. Designated envelopes for CBF Offering for Global Missions are available in the pew racks—please write “Global Missions” in the memo/note of your check.
