February/March 2006
Mosaic is the monthly news bulletin of Rosedale Mennonite Missions and is distributed through CMC churches. Because this publication may contain information about workers and ministries in sensitive locations, the entire content is not available online.
Creative Communication in the Middle East
One of RMM’s workers in a large city is using her experience and abilities in theater to present the gospel in a fresh way. One of most recent projects was the writing and staging of a Christmas play based on Zachariah, Elizabeth, and Mary before the birth of Christ. In a recent email she reported that the play went well and received a positive response. She also wrote about her future plans “I hesitate to say what the plans are for the near future because so many times what I think is going to happen here doesn't. There are plays planned for February, Easter, and May or June. I'll leave it at that and keep you informed.”
 

Internships Provide Hands-On Experience
RMM’s missionary internships give young adults a chance to test a call to long-term missionary service while being mentored by a veteran missionary. They are flexible assignments and there are opportunities for service around the world. In an interview that appears in the current issue of the Caleb Report, Tamara, an RMM intern serving in China reflected on the costs and benefits of investing a year of her life in this program “If you’re looking at the financial benefits of doing an internship, it won’t take you long before you realize that those who join the program aren’t earning great dividends. However, when you look at the worth of your life as seen through the eyes of the people who you are helping, the time that you spend away from your home country, family, and friends all becomes worth it.”

The Power of Personal Prayer

 
RMM’s Prayer Requests for 2006 - Part 2
 Following is the second of four Mosaic features presenting RMM’s prayer requests for 2006. A complete list of the requests can be found on our website. 
As a board and staff we have a fresh desire to see transformation in our home communities.   Pray that we will take the lead in creating a new missions culture in CMC where:
  • Pastors will facilitate church planting movements in their communities.
  • Churches will cross the walls between them and the secular world they live in.
  • Churches will reproduce every five to six years.
  • The womb of CMC will be opened and many new believers will experience safety and belonging as they interact with us.
  • Young believers and leaders will be mentored and will reproduce themselves in ministry. Many of these leaders will become facilitators in RMM partnerships around the world.
  • All we do is saturated with prayer.
