Remember the Children Office
A Table Worth Sharing

Over the past few weeks, I’ve experienced a renewed sense of joy through simple, both planned and unexpected, encounters with Christians from different cultures. These moments have reminded me of the power of hospitality and the richness of God’s global family.

On a flight from Toronto to Budapest, I sat next to a man from Newfoundland. What started as casual conversation turned into hours of sharing stories about our lives and backgrounds. By the time we landed,…

It happened around the dinner table...

One of the most meaningful moments this week didn’t happen on a stage or during a program—it happened around a dinner table.

We were sitting in the home of a Ukrainian pastor and his family, sharing a simple, homecooked meal. As the conversation unfolded, they began sharing what it’s been like to leave everything behind because of the war and start over in a new country. There was both heaviness and hope in their story, but what stood out most was their faith and their desire to keep serving others, even in the middle of rebuilding their own lives.

A Great Start to Summer

This summer began for me with a familiar joy—welcoming a small team of university students to join our missions work Romania!

Just days ago, four young women from Azusa Pacific University arrived to serve alongside RTC this summer. I could see in their faces a desire to embrace new rhythms, a different culture, and unfamiliar places. I also saw in them a resolute trust in God to work through every detail.

I turned 60 last week...

I knew the date was coming, but I didn’t expect it to feel quite like this.

Without telling me, my wife reached out to people from different seasons of my life and asked them to write. I expected a few kind birthday notes. What I didn’t expect were these to be the kind of messages that make you slow down, read twice, and quietly thank God.

Come with Us

Come with Us

As we enter 2025, I am excited that our connection with people participating in short term service will be increasing. In April we have two teams going to serve, one with Agape Church and the other with the Eastern European Bible College.  This summer, in partnership with CMF International, we will be hosting six summer interns for mission service.  We also anticipate summer mission teams from Azusa-Pacific University and Northside Christian Church, Yorktown, Virginia. Our annual Christmas trip is already taking reservations, and we would welcome you to bring a group from your community to serve with us. 

Mission service can be transformative in your life, and the lives of those you serve. We invite you to come with us…

Update From Miyega

Our team recently revisited Miyega Church, accompanied by Brother Mark Yeazel, who currently represents Remember the Children in Tanzania. I was overjoyed to find that the brethren here continue to walk in love and joy, and they have grown in their faith in Christ Jesus. Mark delivered a powerful message on how to disciple others for Christ, encouraging the congregation to bring more people to Jesus.

Church Planting Conference

Church Planting Conference

The focus of this year's conference was specifically discipleship making as a foundation for the church. Remember the Children believes in the crucial role the church plays in communities, families, and the lives of children through the work of spreading the gospel and making disciples. Each one of our RTC churches have a focus on their neighbors and a conviction that Jesus is the source of all real and lasting transformation.

God is Still Teaching

What a joy it was to meet new friends and see familiar faces at ICOM 2023. One particular encounter with a couple who were around in the early days of RTC was used by God as an encouragement and reminder. Take some time to read the story below as Andy recounts an experience from 25 years ago that God seems to still be writing and rewriting today.
