Current Projects

The board of RMS is presented with many ways to help missionaries and ministries around the globe in their efforts to share the good news of Christ with the lost. The board seeks and distributes monetary donations to those in need of different facilities. The money raised is then sent to a missionary or ministry for the purchase of property, materials, and labor to assist the local people in the construction of these facilities. RMS asks for accountability for the funds that are sent by requiring the missionary/ministry to submit receipts throughout the process. RMS will also send a representative to see the progress made on the project.  

Below is a list of projects we are currently raising funds for. You can join us in these efforts by donating today!  Please earmark your donations with the project name you wish to fund.  You can mail donations to 6607 Center Industrial Dr., Jenison, MI 49428, or online here, then select the project from the list. For our Canadian brothers and sisters, please submit your donations through URMA.


Cochabamba, Bolivia

Seminary and Student Housing

Los Cuadros, Costa Rica

Church and Parsonage

$120,000.00 is needed to construct a new church building and parsonage for the church located in Los Cuadros. This building would be built in a much safer area than where it is currently located. The new property offers more exposure in the city as well, pray that this location will have a great impact on those in the surrounding community.


Marvin Briceño (Pastor) and his two sons Harvin (preaching Elder) and Juan (Deacon) of the Los Cuadros Church are pictured here. Check out this video about this project!

Santa Marta, Colombia

third floor of the church

Funds are needed to complete the third floor to be used for their already established after-school tutoring program.  Once completed, it will allow them to cease paying rent on their current facility allowing them to help more students  with learning and provide medical check-ups for the children of the community which includes some Venezuelan refugees. The cost to complete this project is $10,000.

Gonaives and Jeremie, HAITI

Churches

There are 50 congregations that meet outside through all types of weather conditions in these two regions of Haiti. Upon the recommendation of our partner Missionary, Dr. Neal Hegeman, RMS is beginning to raise funds to build churches for these congregations. Each building costs $15k-$20k to complete.  There is a greater need now in the Jeremie/Les Cayes region to rebuild the churches destroyed by the earthquake that went through in November of 2021.

Huancaro, Peru

Church

In the Huancaro district of Cusco, Peru, a church is under construction RMS was able to work alongside members of the congregation on this project in December of 2022. Funds are needed to enclose the building that was started. These funds would be to complete its first floor, including flooring, windows, and doors. This is estimated to cost around $10,400. We are also looking for funds to enclose the second floor, with an estimated cost of $7,800. There are photos from our 2022 trip which can be seen here.

Valle Anta, Peru

Church

There is a church in the Anta Valley near Cusco that has been meeting there for many years. They have constructed the structure but are in need of finishing the building. RMS is seeking to raise the necessary funds to complete the second level, with a target budget of $11,500 (USD). Tile for the floors, plaster and paint, lights and furniture are the things that are needed to complete this floor. There is also a need to complete the third floor which needs windows, plaster and paint, and flooring. This phase has an estimated to cost around $11,900 (USD).
