Our council informs the church of the progress of the church worldwide, supports our church missionaries through prayer and finances, offers opportunities for practical cooperation with mission groups both locally and abroad, encourages exposure to cross-cultural missions through short-term projects, and counsels and supports potential career missionaries.

We regularly feature the work of local and foreign missions in our Sunday bulletin and hold regular missions lunches to hear from/about and to pray for missionaries.

To learn about the missionaries that RBC interacts with, consult the Missions Handbook (available in the foyer) or browse the Missions Bulletin Board in the main entrance.

Shoes ready for distribution in Haiti

STEPS FOR HAITI: From September – December 2011, RBC collected gently used summer shoes of all sizes. Through Montreal Youth Unlimited, these shoes are being shipped to Haiti. Without shoes, children are unable to attend school. Once in Haiti, the shoes are distributed from the <em>Montreal Youth for Christ/Youth Unlimited</em> local office.

In October 2011, two of our congregants were able to be on location to participate in distributing shoes.

Watch this space for new intiatives in 2012.
