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.

Scott travels to rodeos to share the gospel, lead “cowboy church” and devote time to discipleship. For hundreds of cowboys, Scott is their main link to their Christian beliefs, the dominant faith of the rodeo and bull riding industry.

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).

If you are interested in going on our annual trip to Fountain of Hope, or learning more about the partnership, please contact Kathy Davis.
