WORLDWIDE MISSIONS AND OUTREACH
RISE Missionaries
At RISE, we are incredibly passionate about reaching ALL people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We recognize the importance of supporting missionaries across the world in order to see the Great Commission fulfilled. This is why we partner with these amazing individuals and ministries!
For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
ROMANS 10:13-15
Abram Neumann
Iglutheca Organization - Pine Ridge Reservation, SD
Igutheca’s mission is to provide a pathway for homeless Lakotas out of addiction and poverty. They are intensely focused on this singular goal. Although there are numerous needs and worthy causes around the reservation, they believe they can make the biggest impact by using all of their time and funding for these purposes.
Iglutheca was founded by Abram Neumann as a Christian organization. “We do what we do because of Jesus. God has brought us to where we are today, and we believe He will continue to do great things.”
