The Unreached
 

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19)

At The Rock we take these words seriously. We believe in the Holy Spirit’s ability to radically change lives and we desire to be a part of God’s pursuit of lost souls. We do this by heeding Paul’s admonition in Romans 15:20-21, “…to preach the Gospel where Christ is not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.”

Current Projects involved in bringing the Gospel to the unreached include:
 
Lakota (Sioux) Outreach
 

The Rock has been ministering to the Lakota people on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation and the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota since 2004. There are unlimited ministry opportunities available including a Christmas Gift Outreach each December, a youth camp, a works and ministry trip plus other opportunities during the year.

These two reservations are the poorest of the poor in the USA and there is no area in the country that is in greater need of God’s healing touch. The children on these two reservations are at extreme risk with the nation’s highest youth suicide rate, child abuse rate, drop-out rate, etc. You can help us make a difference in the lives of these precious people.

This is an affordable opportunity for your entire family to experience cross-cultural missions located right in our own backyard. We have had children as young as 6 months and seniors as old as 75 participate in our trips. Please contact Max Wharton at 720-215-8885 for information.
 
The “Untouchables”
 
Dalit Child PrayingIn November 2003, Pastor JR participated in a trip to meet the people of India who are deemed “untouchable”. These “untouchables”, or Dalits, are born into their caste and therefore, by virtue of birth, face a lifetime of poverty, injustice and degradation. They are considered to be literally “untouchable” by the rest of Indian society.

As a result of this trip, The Rock purposed to participate in improving the lives of these people. We are working with Operation Mobilization (OM) India and The Dalit Freedom Network to build a Dalit Education Center (DEC) in Bangalore, India. This center will provide Dalit children with education which in turn will bring authentic freedom to the Dalit people.
