Project 1:27


By Kirsten Abbiatti

Project 1:27 is a new ministry at RMCC for adoption, foster care, global orphan care and support. The name was chosen based on James 1:27 (Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep one self from being polluted by the world). We believe this verse says it all!!!

Project 1:27's goal is to do just that!  We truly believe this is  a calling to each and every one of us as believers, but in many different ways! Some, may be called to foster and/or adopt a  child! And we hope to be a source of support and information for anyone traveling or considering that option. Others, may be called to care for these "unwanted" in other ways, such as….. walking along side and praying fervently or even providing a meal for a family who has just taken a new foster placement! Rocking sweet babies at The Child Crisis Center in Mesa, mentoring/teaching at Womens Hope Shelter or helping with a project at Sunshine Acres! There is a place and roll for anyone willing to give of themselves to be used by God!

Our first event will be Thursday, November 15th at RMCC from 6-8:30, in room G-8. This event will be a panel format consisting of those who attend RMCC who have served in one of the above ways! We are excited to share personal experiences and what the Lord has done in our lives and ways that other can get involved! Big or small! 

If you would like to attend you can sign up by clicking here. Childcare is provided but please sign up as early as possible if you will be needing childcare so rooms can be staffed appropriately! :)
