Our Missions

Zion is a church focused on the kingdom.  As kingdom minded people, we are to be striving to spread the gospel at home and in the world.  As we work towards that end, here is a summary of the current missionary work we support as a church.

Mission to the World (MTW)

Zion Reformed Church primarily supports the well-established global missionary organization of the PCA, “Mission to the World.”

Mission to North America (MNA)

Remembering the work of the kingdom is also here at home, we joyfully support the church planting efforts of "Mission to North America."

Missionaries

Steve and Amy Robertson

Location: Guadalajara, Mexico

(The following description is taken from the Robertson support website)

Steve and Amy Robertson long to see the gospel redeem lives and bring life-permeating transformation through all levels of society in Guadalajara, Mexico. They desire to see a church-planting movement ignited that will reconcile Mexicans to Christ and to each other.

Steve grew up in Tuscaloosa, AL, and Amy is from Augusta, GA. They met through the ministry of Reformed University Fellowship at Vanderbilt University and were married in August 1996. They had been praying about ministry in Mexico for some time when God gave them an opportunity to serve with a church-planting team in Guadalajara from May 2000-Sept 2002. Believing that further training would be helpful for long-term ministry, the Robertsons then moved to St. Louis, so Steve could receive his M. Div. from Covenant Theological Seminary.

The Robertsons are eager to return to the field in Guadalajara to preach God's Word, train and disciple men, and nurture and disciple women and families. They pray that God will build biblically solid churches that will multiply throughout the city. They ask for your prayers for their complete reliance on Christ, for Mexicans to seek life in Christ, and for family health.

Short-term Missions

At least once per year Zion Reformed Church organizes a short term mission project. In 2005, Zion sent workers to Belize for two weeks to assist our missionaries there, Mark & Samantha Summers. In May 2006, church members traveled to New Orleans for 10 days to help rebuild homes and lives destroyed by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In 2010, the ZRC Youth made a trip to New York City to work with immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Short term missions are one means to live out the good news of the gospel in the midst of a broken world.
