HEADING FOR THE TOP

MAKE YOUR CHECKS PAYABLE TO:
Rusty River Ministries Inc.

We believe sustained life change happens best in the context of community. In community groups, people study God's Word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It's also where they pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don't show up.

As a part of the landscape our community, we want to be more than just another building. We want to move out from these walls and into the streets and serve the greater needs of the  surrounding community. Through our GROUPS ministry, we have created the Intersect Project as our vehicle to serve.

This year, we are sending over 1,000 people overseas to 21 countries on over 80 trips! Intersecting with God's grand plan for the universe, and having life-changing experiences, which impacts your view of God, our World, and people in it. We call this the global "X-factor".

A pub church is a Christian Church which meets in a public house or similar
establishment. Their purpose is to exist as an authentic Christian community,
 located in a way that is more accessible to non-churched people.
They understand themselves to be "without the external trappings of
 more traditional churches.
Pastor Shirley River Coalson comments:  "If 'church' is what happens when people
 encounter the Risen Jesus and commit themselves to sustaining
 and deepening that encounter in their encounter with each other,
 there is plenty of theological room for diversity of rhythm and style, so
 long as we have ways of indentifying the same living Christ at
 the heart of every expression of Christian life in common."

Remember the word of our illustrious founder,
“What are we going to do now, we’re going global, its time to bless the whole world."  

Our new $195 million dollar expansion is just one more step along the way to saving the world for Jesus.

Dear Friends,

I’m so proud, and praise God every day, that we’ve been able to hold on to and grow our ministry in these VERY difficult economic times…a time when we’re hearing daily news reports of companies going out of business and families losing their homes.

It hasn’t been easy going, but God is making it possible for us to keep growing!  Thanks to YOUR involvement and support.

You may help NOW with a gift of an size.  You can trust me when I say that I’ll be watching my mail and praising God for your positive help and response—without YOU our ministry would very quickly fall.

Thank you for your cherished, honored, and anticipated giving.

Gratefully yours,

Your Pastor, Shirley

*Here is that prepared e-mail for you.  Just cut and paste it into the message you want to send to a friend.

Dear Friend,
Do you ever feel like you need to be rescued? I would like to invite you to join me at the Rusty River Temple during this post-Easter season. Pope Rusty, will be giving a message entitled The Greatest Rescue.    Dr. Shirley River Coalson message of hope and promise to encourage anyone in need of rescue.  I hope you'll consider joining me this month in launching our Servolution program.

Dear Rusty River Ministries family,

 Dr. Shirley River Coalson 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,
 Dr. Shirley River Coalson

This "RRM calendar" is designed to illustrate just how far astray the church of today has gone and how far it will go to attract people into their audiences.
Virtually everything represented on this "calendar" of the fictional RRM has been taken, and slightly modified, from church websites.  T'ain't funny McGee!  it is the reality of the contemporary "church."
