Objectives & Activities
The objectives of RCFT are
-
A base for a fully functional Independent New Testament Church
-
A home church base for missionaries who have the genuine call of God to other lands.
-
Opportunities for those called into the work at Rora to:
-
1) Gain practical experience in a work environment.
-
2) Trust God for their needs.
-
3) Learn to serve the Lord together as a team.
-
A platform for Christian conferences, bible teaching ministry and children’s camps.
-
A base for churches, missions and other Christian groups to run their own seminars.
-
Holidays with fellowship for those in need of refreshment in a Christian atmosphere.
Achievements & Performance
Groups, conferences and activities continued at Rora. Including large kids camps and conferences during the summer. The monthly youth club is also popular, with 35+ kids attending each month. Once again, we were able to take some of the young people to a youth weekend in Reading in February.
General maintenance work continued around the site and in the property.
The church has continued to visit a local Old Peoples Home once a month to hold a ‘church’ service for the residents, and also run ‘Open the Bible’ assemblies in 3 local primary schools.
Rora continued its partnership with the local Co-Op store in Liverton, and we were able to support local families with food parcels. This is a project that is continuing.
Finances
RCFT does not charge for use of the facilities, but ask for donations from visitors. RCFT does benefit from Gift Aid re-payments on appropriate donations. God has been faithful and provided all the finances required to complete all the work being carried out, and to keep the house running.
