“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses; in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” Acts 1:8

HOPEWELL REFORMED CHURCH MISSIONS TEAM

Purpose: The purpose of the HRC Missions Team is to instruct, inspire and motivate the congregation to support the national and foreign missionary outreach initiatives as outlined in Acts 1:8….. (in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Ends of the earth). HRC Mission Team will provide vision, direction and leadership by means of praying, giving, sending and going.

• If we are a team that is going to “Instruct and Inspire” others in the area of missions, we must have some basic knowledge of how and what we hope to accomplish.
• We will pray for all missionaries and ministries supported by HRC on a consistent basis.
• We will promote the “greater need” to pray for those in the field by establishing a time of prayer dedicated to pray for missionaries and the un-reached and persecuted peoples of the world in the “10/40 window countries”. Located 10 degrees and 40 degrees north of the Equator and it stretches from the west cost of North Africa to the East cost of Japan. 95% of all the people in the world who have yet to hear the Gospel. 47% of the world’s total population lives in just two of the countries, India and China. It is the home to three main religious blocks (Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism) Eight out of ten of the poorest of the poor live there. Only 8% of all missionaries work in the 10/40 Window.
• We will continue to work with the HRC youth and adults by promoting short-term mission trips to enhance cross cultural exposure and disciple making moments.
• We will work to develop long term relationships with missionaries we are supporting by providing short-term mission trips that will serve to enhance their ministries.
