| Vision: |
We believe Jesus Christ calls us to go into all the world proclaiming
the good news of the gospel, demonstrating the compassion of Christ, and
making disciples of all nations.
Short-term missions can provide believers with tangible opportunities
for both the proclamation and demonstration of the gospel message. |
| Direction: |
The Short-term Missions Committee is a subcommittee of the larger
Missions Steering Committee. Its main area of focus is short-term
mission opportunities. It reports directly to the larger committee and
seeks guidance and counsel from that committee on matters relating to
its particular focus. |
| Purpose: |
To encourage and enable members of Rivermont Evangelical Presbyterian
Church to become involved in short-term missions by:
1. Providing
a funding mechanism for their support.
2. Posting
an annual list of trip opportunities and sponsoring agencies.
3. Planning
and coordinating church-sponsored short-term mission trips.
4. Providing
information and assistance to those planning for a short-term mission
