WHO WE ARE, AND WHAT WE DO…

Global Changes

There will always be a need for cross-cultural missionaries that will move into unreached areas that speak the language, learn the culture, build relationships, start churches and develop leaders. These missionaries must move onto the mission field and be supported by local churches at home. However, the nature of missions is changing. What’s driving these changes in missions is threefold.

Change Driver #1

The first driver of change is increasing access to the world through the internet and ever expanding air travel options. If one is looking to serve indigenous ministries then, in most cases, one no longer has to live overseas. This substantially reduces the cost of what it takes to support the missionary and those funds can be redirected into other projects. This is the model of Royal Dominion Missions.

Change Driver #2

The second driver of change in missions has been the rapid spread of the gospel around the world. Traditional missionaries have laid the foundation; now it’s time to build on it. There used to be no evangelical Christians in many of the world’s cultures. Now there are a sprawling network of institutional churches, house churches and individual Christians that are connected through media. When these networks are resourced through discipleship, training and leadership development, they become stronger and the gospel spreads. These believers begin to thrive without western dependence. These natural networks also provide the relational connections that can be used to plant churches and do evangelistic events.

Royal Dominion Missions is equipping local churches and believers with discipleship resources and leadership training. We help plant churches with our disciples, with prospective pastors that have the endorsement of established indigenous leaders or from a partnering missionary. We also partner with local churches to do open air crusades.

Change Driver #3

Globalization has resulted in masses of people that live outside the West seeing our standard of living and quality of life. They want these things but they are trapped by corruption that is so prevalent in non-historic Christian nations. It has also resulted in local pastors having an expansion of vision. They now see bigger and better possibilities. We can now step along side them and help them do things far bigger than they have ever imagined.

Royal Dominion Missions is piloting these possibilities with our African Initiative. Our goal is to build a small city and then build a bigger city. One African pastor said to one of our associates, “Christians build churches and Muslims burn them down, but Muslims build cities and they remain.” This, along with a few other providential encounters, has resulted in our desire to build Christian cities. Tom Stamman, who is the founder of the City of Refuge sits on our board. The City of Refuge is a Christian City that was established in Honduras. Ginger Jewel also sits on our board. She was the point person for the King of Saudi Arabia in establishing a city in Saudi Arabia for the purpose of establishing a college.

This has created a niche for missionary organizations that can address the drivers of change, and this is our goal.

It has been the goal of Royal Dominion Missions from the very beginning to address these drivers of change in the Christian world. Thus, our mission statement is:
