It is hard to believe that the Ron Hutchcraft Ministries headquarters building is now ten years old! It was ten years ago when the doors opened for the first time on this facility we call "The Miracle in the Ozarks" - completely dedicated to reaching people for Jesus. Today, the RHM headquarters building is an ongoing "buzz of rescue," with a staff of nearly 40 people working every day to impact the world for Jesus!
Creative. Innovative. Cutting-edge. These are some of the words that people use to describe the type of efforts taking place to reach lost people with the hope of Jesus Christ. If you were to come up the driveway to visit the RHM headquarters, you would find a simple building filled with dedicated and passionate people seeking to reach lost people by "all possible means."
Reaching Young People for Jesus
The Doug and Jon Show website has a creative team of young people working every day to find unique ways to communicate the Gospel to a world of lost young people. In this creative space, you have people writing, producing, animating, and creating Internet tools that will connect the Gospel to today's teenagers - and it's working! Every day, people are finding the hope of Jesus through this website, and from all over the world! Here's a quote from a recent visitor to the website:
"I am so new to this stuff, i have no idea how to live my life, I'm 15 years old, and I've let myself almost die from an ungodly amount of heroin use, i have lived the life of an evil person and i have no idea wut to do, until i saw ur video about the relationship with Jesus, instantly i got this feeling that i NEEDED to be apart of this, and i proudly can say i feel i have a purpose, thank u for showing me this :')" - "Adrian"
Impacting Native America
The On Eagles' Wings® outreach ministry is a team of people fully mobilized to impact today's generation of Native American young people. Right now, the Ron Hutchcraft Ministries Native Department is fully engaged in preparing for the upcoming "Warrior Leadership Summit" Native Youth Discipleship Conference. Preparing for a discipleship conference for over 700 warriors takes a lot of time and effort!
While getting ready for WLS, this same team is also mobilizing for the OEW Summer of Hope missions trip to 8-10 reservations and a missions team returning to Peru for an international outreach. A young Native warrior said, "Summer of Hope has become the highlight of my life. I am eagerly waiting to hit the battlefield and see Native youth come to Christ."
Gathering of Nations
Ron and some of our Native staff recently returned from the Chicago area, speaking at "The Gathering of Nations" - an event that helped challenge many people regarding the urgent need of reaching Native America. Many people often have little knowledge about the reality of what is taking place in Native America, and the urgent mission field God has positioned us to reach. Look for a free downloadable e-book and audio that will be available in the coming weeks from this event.
Reaching Lost People Through Radio, Internet, and Media
This team is passionate about accelerating the Gospel message through creative media. Through the "A Word With You" radio broadcast, Hutchcraft.com website, and other audio and video resources, the Gospel is changing lives!
Not only do we create rescue tools and events, we seek to mobilize God's people to be more effective spiritual rescuers! On any given day, RHM's "mobilization team" is creatively working to empower God's people to reach their world for Jesus.
The DVD video curriculum "A Life That Matters" is being used by churches all across the country. Churches are becoming "life-saving stations" by motivating and equipping God's people to step up to become ambassadors for Jesus! "I'm seeing a Spiritual rescue movement in our church," said one New Jersey participant.
Eternity Counter
If you were in the RHM headquarters staff dining room, you would see a monitor with a big number. The screen reads simply, "The number of people who have entered eternity since January 1, 2010." Currently, the number is approaching 23 million people, and growing. These are people that are now either in heaven or hell, ready or not.
The RHM team is passionate about reaching out to as many lives as possible, because eternities are at stake every day. Thank you for your prayers and support, as together we seek to "Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter" (Proverbs 24:11).
