Yalunka People Group
ROC adopted the Yalunka People Group on November 26th, 1995 (almost 30 years ago). At the time we had four to five missionary couples working in Africa, ministering to the Yalunka’s. This adoption meant we would keep the missionaries and the Yalunka people in our prayers and support.
Care Net Pregnancy Center
Care Net Pregnancy Center: They currently have two locations that serve the metro Detroit community: Berkley and Detroit. They assist women and men who are facing unplanned pregnancy. They help by providing free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds that confirm pregnancy, options, consultations, and resources to support those in need. This is a non-profit medical clinic, so there is no cost to the individuals coming there for aid. They also provide after birth care for the new parent(s), parenting classes, formula and diapers for the first year. They also have a boutique with additional items that the parent(s) can earn buying bucks to “shop” at it for other items they need (clothing, car seats, bottles, formula, etc.).
Global Initiative
The Global Initiative is a creative grant-making fund that local leaders can access for specific travel and training projects that seed new movements. An average grant of less than $1,000, the Global Initiative is a sustainable, cost-effective tool helping to raise up a generation of new disciple-making leaders around the world. This ministry allows the gospel to reach parts of the world that are unreachable.
