1 CHRISTIAN REFORMED MISSIONS In which Rick Veen has the privilege and painful duty of boiling down oh, I don t know, 112 different types of ministries into a 40-minute power point talk, which is really an impossible task because the whole point of Reformed theology is that we are to live missional; that is, we are all missionaries of Jesus Christ, all of the time. Besides, there s just so much within the CRC that it s hard to figure out how to distill it into a presentation. Please, look on the crcna.org website, and you ll see what s going on.

2 WHY? In order that people may be brought to faith, God mercifully sends proclaimers of this very joyful message. Cannons of Dort Pt. 1 Art. 3 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Romans 14-15, 17

3 MISSIONS (Very broadly defined) PREACHING AND TEACHING MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

4 PREACHING AND TEACHING (Really, a representative sample, more than an exhaustive list.) World Missions Home Missions Support

5 WORLD MISSIONS (Boots on the ground) Christian Reformed World Missions has more than 200 missionaries serving in nearly 40 countries and, through partnerships, their work extends to more than 50 countries

6 WORLD MISSIONS (Boots on the ground) (I don t know why this is in blue)

7 WORLD MISSIONS (Over the air) BACK TO GOD MINISTRIES For more than 70 years, BTG Ministries has claimed media to fulfill the Great Commission. As the media ministry of the CRC, BTG Ministries partners with other churches in North America and around the world to announce God s good news. Since the most effective media missionaries are those who speak the common language of those we are seeking to reach, BTGMI carries out its mission through indigenous teams that are knowledgeable both in Scripture and in effective media tools. Our ministry spans the world through production and discipleship centers in Brazil, Indonesia, the Middle East, Japan, Hong Kong, India, and Russia, as well as our home base the International Ministry Center in Chicago.

8 WORLD MISSIONS (Support) TIMOTHY LEADERSHIP TRAINING INSTITUTE An organization that took root in Africa in the 1990's and has since developed rapidly throughout the world. The mission of Timothy Leadership Training Institute is to train pastors, evangelists and lay leaders, enabling them to build viable and healthy congregations and communities in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:2, "Entrust what you have heard from me to those who will be qualified to teach others." TLT goals include the growth of faith, generosity and productive work accounted for through regular reporting.

9 WORLD MISSIONS (Support) GLOBAL DISCIPLESHIPS NETWORK Brings together church leaders from the CRC in North America and international partners into a learning circle for mutual discipleship.

10 HOME MISSIONS - Church planting - leadership training - pastoral training - campus ministry - missions-oriented churches

11 HOME MISSIONS THAT WE LL SUPPORT THROUGH OUR CLASSIS - Back to God - Hessel Park CRC (U of Illinois) - Black campus ministry - Roseland Christian Ministries - Leadership Development Ministries - Jacob s Well Church plant - Urban New church development - Crosspoint Strategic Network - Loyola University campus ministry -???

12 ?????? Yes,???? because as a member of Classis Chicago South, we will have every right to add our missions, for example, The Refuge, to the list of classically supported home missions.

13 MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS World Renew SERVE Bethany Christian Services Partners Worldwide Promoting Christian Educations Globally Hope Equals Friendship Ministries

14 MTNOOB&S WORLD RENEW Formerly Christian Reformed World Relief, but renamed after the Reformed Church of America s world relief agency merged into it, to form World Renew.

15 MTNOOB&S WORLD RENEW Community development - Currently in 36 countries Domestic disaster response International disaster response

16 MTNOOB&S SERVE Opportunities for teens to volunteer in service projects around the country

17 MTNOOB&S BETHANY CHRISTIAN SERVICES Not a direct mission of the CRC anymore, but an example Domestically: Foster care, Safe Families for Children, Infertility ministry, Pregnancy counseling, Refugee services, Embryo services, Post-adoption, Adoption; Internationally: Adoption, Sponsorship, Foster care, Family preservation, Training, Social systems development, Refugee services.

18 I don t know why that one was blue, either.

19 MTNOOB&S PARTNERS WORLDWIDE International service dedicated to finding jobs and opportunities; Committed to business as a ministry for a world without poverty

20 MTNOOB&S PROMOTING CHRISTIAN EDUCATION GLOBALLY Works with international partners to enhance the effectiveness of Christian day schooling (K- 12), especially in under-served and undereducated areas in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Focuses on equipping and training Christian educators

21 MTNOOB&S HOPE EQUALS A network of missions striving to bring peace and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.

22 MTNOOB&S FRIENDSHIP MINISTRIES A not-for-profit that exists to help churches and organizations around the world share God s love with people who have intellectual disabilities.

23 MTNOOB&S THAT WE LL SUPPORT IN OUR NEW CLASSIS Christian service ministries Self helps job program Safe church ministries???

24 THAT S ALL WELL AND GOOD, VEEN, BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR CURRENT MISSIONS COMMITMENTS? I m glad you asked
