About Missions
Our passion for God and our love of the Gospel fuels our desire to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth (Matthew 28:18-20). These members of River Oaks have responded to the Gospel call of the Great Commission. It is our joy to support their ministries.
Ben Bacheller
TEAM
Ben & Becky Bacheller are missionaries working with Eden Reforestation Projects, and TEAM to help start reforestation projects in Brazil. We work with the poor, helping give them jobs to reforest their lands, which will provide for their needs materially (food, lumber) but also environmentally as it will bring back the water to their communities (flowing streams, full wells), diversity to the ecosystem, wildlife that has disappeared for many years, as well as joy and dignity to their lives as they reduce and remove their dependency on others for their needs.

About Our Church Partnership
Fountain of Hope
Nairobi, Kenya
Facilitated by World Orphans, our church-to-church partnership with Fountain of Hope Church in Nairobi, Kenya has been growing for more than a decade.
Through the years, our partners in this beloved ministry have become like an extended family to us. We have encouraged one another, prayed with one another, and ministered alongside one another by striving side-by-side for the faith of the Gospel (Phil 1:27).
