Global 6K for Water - May 16th
On May 16, we will join churches across the country for the Global 6K for Water. Why 6K? Because that is the average distance many people in the developing world must walk every day to access water, water that is often unsafe.
By walking or running that same distance, we raise both awareness and tangible support. Each $50 registration provides clean water for one person through World Vision projects. This year, every Redeemer participant will help bring clean water to someone in the DR Congo.
We’re especially excited that Redeemer will cover registration costs for all kids and students (grades 1-12) who want to participate. Whether you walk, run, give, or simply come to cheer others on, we invite you to be part of this meaningful day. And just remember, every step we take is one less they have to.
Email Amy.Cenea@redeemertulsa.org if you have any questions.
Church is not a noun; it is a verb, an action verb. God chose the church as the instrument through which He wants to carry out His redeeming work in the world. Redeemer is engaged in mission locally and globally where we hear the spirit of God calling us to engage and where our people are leading the way.
“The Church is the Church only when it exists for others.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
MISSION FOCUS
Disciples True to God’s Mission
Genesis 12:1-3, Isaiah 6:8, John 3:16, Acts 13:1-3
Mission began with God and belongs to God. The central purpose of God’s mission has always been to reconcile people with God and with one another. All through the Bible, God sent people to participate in this mission of love for the whole world. This mission was fully embodied when God sent Jesus into our world as one of us. As God’s people we are also called to embody the good news wherever we are sent. We do our part with words, deeds, and living witness.
Participants in God’s Sending
Isaiah 49:6, John 10:16, 2 Corinthians 5:18, Isaiah 58:6-7
We are a community called, equipped, and sent by God for local and global ministries of service which God has prepared for us to do. As such, Redeemer Church seeks to encourage the whole church to find its appropriate place of participation in God’s mission.
Companions with God’s People
Psalm 119:63, Galatians 6:10
We are a community of Christ followers who join together as companions in mission with all who love and fear the Lord. We recognize that many of the tasks of mission are too large for any one church or organization to undertake alone. With God’s help, we strive to be partners in missions with others whom God has gifted. This includes shared mission ventures with local church initiatives, para-church organizations, denominational outreach, other specialized ministries, and groups of key leaders.
Local Mission Opportunity!
Throughout the year we host multiple opportunities to serve locally here in Tulsa. Last year we served at Bixby Outreach Center, The Merchant, Tulsa Hills Youth Ranch, City Lights, Emergency Infant Services, Eden Village and more.
