Attend one of our monthly Doable Evangelism seminars:
It’s time evangelism became a normal spiritual practice
again, like reading your bible or prayer, instead of another church
program. After practicing what we call
“ordinary attempts” (or OA’s), many people tell us that they feel
“validated” and “empowered”, discovering that God counts things they
already do. They can do more of that, with greater intention. That gets
more people in the game…which is the whole mission of Doable
Evangelism (DE).

House Churches Next Phase
in Multisite Movement

By Bishop Ruthie River
Rusty River Ministries is using
house churches to expand its network, showing that
reaching out on a smaller scale doesn't mean
retreating in the multisite movement.
We currently have 15 to 20 house
churches in several states that virtually
participate in the worship services held at the main
campus every Sunday.
"House churches are the next
extension of the multisite movement," said Rev.
Father, Pope Rusty River. |

The RRM Evangelical Church
focus continues to call the denomination and its churches to
concentrate on actively sharing the gospel of Christ with those who do
not consider themselves Christians in any life-shaping way. Prayer,
diligent study of and listening to the Scripture from the perspective of
faith-sharing, developing relationships with non-church friends,
providing community-based outreach ministries, offering guest-friendly
worship services and church activities all contribute to our heightened
awareness to the responsibility to ‘make disciples among all peoples,’
as Christ commands |
17

Dr. John MacArthur,
pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church
will share his thought today on the matter of:
"The façade of friendship that can be created by social networking. It
has the potential to foster shallow relationships and detract from real
ones." |

OUR VISION FOR CHURCH PLANTING
As a movement, we want to plant churches which exhibit
the following traits:
A commitment to worship and serve the Triune God revealed in
Jesus Christ
A focus on building communities of faith that worship the Lord in
the beauty of His holiness
A desire to grow as Spirit-filled communities that hear - and
obey - His voice
A compassion that leads to training and equipping the church
community to serve the poor, the lost, and the sick
An outward-focused passion that goes out in the power of the
Spirit to do the works of the Kingdom of God, making disciples, planting
reproducing churches, and taking the gospel to the nations
|
24

Bishop T. D. Jakes, senior
pastor of the 30,000-member The Potter’s House
will offer food for thought on the matter of: "All over this
nation, all over this world there are people going to church today and
they say they are believers, but until you can take what you've been
taught and bring it to the place you gave up--you will never be the
radical believer that you need to be for the times in which we live." |

Evangelism
The church is the whole body of Christ, both in Heaven and on earth. It is
both visible and invisible. While the mystical perception
of the church is valid, this teaching must always be held with a
doctrine of visible local churches. This is the New Testament norm.
Planting local churches is the divine plan. The very language of the
Great Commission infers the local church. The method for making
disciples prescribed by Christ can occur in none other context than that
of a local church. |

Our Biblical Vision for Being
Missional
Our purpose with respect to ministry is not to super-size
but to multiply
Numerous studies have shown that a strategy of growing through
multiplication; that is multiple services, sites and congregations, is
especially effective at three key purposes:
A. Reaching non-Christians.
B. Developing more people in discipleship and ministry.
C. Enabling the church to retain a sense of community while
continually reaching out to new people in obedience to the great
commission.
All of this costs money; lots of money.

Dear Friends,
In order for us to fulfill our Decade of Destiny, we (Ruthie and I) call
upon you to learn to share your faith.simply, effectively, and
without fear. We believe we don't bring God
to the other but find Him in the others.
We also firmly believe that evangelism Is for everyone,
not just the few and certainly not just for Ruthie and I (although, as
your pastors) we will show you the path and light the way. It is
time for each of you beloved children of God, whom we have brought this
far, to take the next leap of faith. Get up out of your pews, turn
off the TV set, move out of your comfort zone. Go next door, down
the street, around the corner and invite those whom you meet to come to
the RRM Temple and find the happiness and joy you and we have shared lo
these many years.
Pope Rusty and Bishop Ruthie

Dear Rusty River
Ministries family,
Bishop
Ruthie and I would like to thank you for all of your generous giving,
your commitment and your selfless sacrifices that have made 2010 such
and amazing year. In addition, thank you for staying in faith and
believing for God to do great things through the RRM Church!
Because of you, this year we saw over 347,950 people accept Jesus as
their Savior in our weekend services. Hundreds of thousands attended our
live worship events in the United States and around the world, and we
delivered hope to nearly 50,000 people in Dodger stadium and millions
more through the live television event. Without a doubt, 2010 was one of
the greatest years of ministry that we've ever known. We know
that you will help us far exceed last year's triumph for the Lord!
With just a few weekends left in the year, I would like to ask you,
along with the many other families of RRM, to consider a special
year-end gift. We have made it through a very challenging year, and
nothing would prepare our church more for 2010 than to experience a
supernatural outpouring of support.
It is a new season of God’s favor. It is a season to discover and seize
God’s increase on our church and on our lives. I am so excited about
what is to come here at RRM and around the world as we share the hope of
Jesus.
Check below
to give a special year-end gift.
Partner with RRM in the work being done throughout the world. You can
be a part of God's work by donating resources to be used to reach others
with the message of Jesus Christ.
Thank you so much for being a vital part of the RRM family.
Expecting God to do greater things,
Pope Rusty and
BishopRuthie

Pope Rusty and Bishop Ruthie thank you for your support. As many
thousands of you have inquired, let us say we'll soon update this
very outdated picture. We have yet to find time in our very
busy schedule of meditation and contemplation to sit for a fresh one. |
