The unique privilege granted to every believer to serve one another in the body of Christ is founded upon the foundational truth found in the Gospel of John 1:16: "For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace," (NASB). This marvelous blessing of the redeeming work of Christ is the engine that drives effective redemptive ministries in every Church age--and in ours. The Holy Spirit revealed to Apostle Paul ministerial instructions to Titus for the church in Crete--indispensable instructions whose applications are contextually applicable to all children of God in every generation: "For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds." (Titus 2:11-14, NASB) Christ's Sermon on the Mount emphasized that reality: "You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world... Let your light shine before man in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:13a, 14a, 16, NASB).
Therefore, ministry is understood at RGEM International in the context of in-community service of reconciliation and of Shalom to the world, and as revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. The term “minister” or Greek “diakonos” refers to its use in context of application as demonstrated and ordained by the Master and Lord of the Church who is also Her Savior. Therefore, RGEM ministers are better known as servants of the Word to the body of believers, the children of God. (John 21:15-17). Above all we are in the sight of Christ: “last of all and servant of all.” (Mat 20: 28, Mk 9: 35; 10:45) In this spirit alone the following ministries are intentionally set up to bring the relevancy of the Gospel of God and of Jesus Christ in the lives of the families we serve:

For it is written: "As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God... Whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." (1 Peter 4:10, 11b, NASB).
If you believe in faithful Christian service that empowers and built up the body of Jesus Christ; and if you trust that you are anointed to serve with a personal gift, in one of the preceding ministries, as a servant of Christ with conviction and dedication, then prayerfully consider to join the RGEM fellowship of servant leaders.
