Mission Strategy

Work with Strategic Churches - RAM believes strongly that the most effective mission work is done in partnership with the local churches and their servant leadership.  Therefore, RAM in America is working with, in and through "Strategic Churches" to fulfill its missionary vision.  The Covenants of Associations describes the organizational directions, principles and regulations that define these partnerships with the Strategic Churches. 

A Strategic Church is defined as a strong, growing, missionary congregation in the unevangelized area of Europe, with strong, Godly leadershiper, that can offer opportunities for a strategic missions partnership and provide supervision and accountability in a mutually agreed upon ministry.  In working through the Strategic Churches, RAM in America would seek to accomplish several things:

1. RAM is seeking to suppose these strategic congregations and help strengthen them to become strong regional-type churches, with an ever-increasing positive witness among their local people.  In order to strengthen the witness of the Strategic Churches, RAM will seek to send short-term mission trips with a holistic approach to missions (by combining evangelistic work, with medical, children's and youth work in one team).

2. RAM is working through the Strategic Churches in planting new churches and sponsoring missionary pastors on the field.  As these strong mother churches are led by the Lord to plant other congregations in fertile areas around them, RAM in America will be invited to partner with them in providing much needed assistance on the mission field.

3. RAM is seeking to help the Strategic Churches by being involved in training leaders for the local church.  The leadership training is done on the field, in a modular setting and in partnership with other mission organizations like Evangelical Baptist Missions, Desiring God and HeartCry Missionary Society.  Trained leadership is an absolute necessity to develop strong churches that can reach their country for Christ.

4. RAM is seeking to help strengthen or develop God-centered children's and family ministries in the partnering churches and their mission churches, by preparing curriculum and training leaders for the next generations.  This work is done in partnership wtih Children Desiring God.
