robinlynnekautz@gmail.com

 

Location: Dulce, New Mexico

Partner: RCA

What need is God showing us? Towering mountains, imposing mesas, and deep lakes make up the land of the Jicarilla Apache Nation reservation. This land in Dulce, New Mexico, is home to nearly 2,800 members of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, many of whom are plagued by alcohol and substance abuse, broken families and trauma, domestic violence, and a poor school system.

In a place where the RCA has had mission presence for more than 100 years, Brad Kautz serves as pastor for Jicarilla Apache Reformed Church (JARC). His focus is primarily pastoral ministry, which includes weekly worship, Sunday school, a community prayer meeting, youth ministry, and visits to residents of nursing homes, jails, and detox centers. Through these means, he brings hope through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

World Missions

We also support several missionaries who serve Christ sharing the gospel around the world. Here is a list of world ministries we support:

Ministry: Evangelism and Church Development

Location: Tokyo, Japan

Partner: United Church of Christ in Japan

What need is God showing us? They are teaching and training congregations in the United Church of Christ in Japan on how to incorporate contemporary music and "seeker-friendly" elements into their worship so churches can more effectively reach non-Christians, who make up 99 percent of Japan's population.

Location: Southeast Asia

About the mission: Bob Abel works with Remember Nhu, an organization that works to end child sex slavery in 13 countries. Remember Nhu uses a prevention model that keeps children out of the sex trade before they’re sold, leading to whole communities that have put sex brokers out of business.

Bob serves as director of staff care for Remember Nhu, providing pastoral care, discipleship support, and leadership development to its international and indigenous missionary staff. His initial focus is working with Remember Nhu’s Southeast Asian locations to develop a global care strategy for all of the organization’s missionaries, as well as preparing new missionaries to enter the field.

Ministry: New Horizons Foundation

Location: Romania

About the mission: Felipe and Janelle deWaard-Silva have been called to work with Roma youth in the Jiu Valley to build trust, perseverance, character, and courage through rock climbing. Roma people are heavily discriminated against. And Dallas, the neighborhood closest to our gym, is one of the poorest in the valley. Many parents move away to find work but leave their children behind in Dallas. These children receive little education and have to beg or steal to make ends meet.
