First Reformed Church of Scotia in partnership with RCA church’s from across North America support the work of numerous missionaries through RCA Global Mission.
In addition to providing general support to RCA Global Mission, First Reformed Church of Scotia also directly support:
Felipe & Janelle de Waard-Silva, and JJ & Tim TenClay.
Felipe & Janelle de Waard-Silva
Felipe and Janelle work with Roma youth in the Jiu Valley in Romania to build trust, perseverance, character, and courage through rock climbing. In a town where poverty forces many parents to move for work, this ministry provides youth an environment where they can experience safety and respect, develop life skills, pursue education, and come to know the love of Christ. Felipe and Janelle have also planted Anchor Church, which is building a strong core of disciples and hosting a diverse education program five days a week.
JJ & Tim TenClay
As Refugee Ministries Coordinator, JJ works with ministry partners locally, nationally, and globally to provide compassionate, Christ-like care for refugees and displaced people. She also educates individuals and congregations on global forced displacement and the people affected worldwide, and equips them to live out the biblical mandate to care for those seeking refuge.
