The goal at Rice and Beans is to go into all the world and make disciples of Christ.  We study that Christ was always meeting people exactly where they were and then calling them out into a faith that grew them and transformed their lives. Modeled after His example, we strive with each action in hopes of meeting people where they are and help lead them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Meeting the needs of many people often begins with meeting their needs of hunger through the flesh, then meeting their spiritual hunger through the Word and Prayer. Rice and beans are a staple food for many South and Central American cultures, therefore they give a perfect avenue to meet many needs for families all across the region. However, simply providing food for families is really only the beginning of what Rice and Beans is all about.

Day camps are formed so that the children have the opportunity to do what children do best, play. The food bags help us […]

As we have spoken with outdoorsmen and women about church, one of the statements we hear time after time is that they feel like they “have a horn growing out of their head” every time they enter a church. That’s kind of fun to picture in our minds, but not so funny when you’re the person trying to enter a church for the first time or after years of searching for a church home where you can fit. Paradise Outfitter Ministries is a different kind of church. We have designed our worship services, programs, and teaching style with ourdoors men, women, and families in mind. Even our worship times are scheduled to accommodate the weekend angler, hunter, sportsman, camper, etc. Outdoorsmen have a tendency to work hard and play hard.  Our worship times are scheduled with that understanding.  Come and check out a different kind of church.  Jeans, shorts, T-shirt, camos, work clothes . . . come as you are.  We want to guide you to a better understanding of the God who created the majestic outdoors we enjoy so much. We also offer an open archery range, car shows,bass fishing, hunts, and other special events throughout the year. Visit our […]

Rediscover Biblical Jerusalem… The story of the City of David began over 3,000 years ago, when King David left the city of Hebron for a small hilltop city known as Jerusalem, establishing it as the unified capital of the tribes of Israel. Years later, David’s son, King Solomon, built the First Temple next to the City of David on top of Mount Moriah, the site of the binding of Isaac, and with it, this hilltop became one of the most important sites in the world. Today, the story of the City of David continues.  Deep underground, the City of David is revealing some of the most exciting archeological finds of the ancient world.

Tucked in the Ozark Mountains in Lampe, MO,  on the banks of Table Rock Lake Clearwater Cove is a world-class camp. Young Life doesn’t start with a program. It starts with adults concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don’t happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency. So Young Life leaders log many hours with kids around the world — where they are, as they are. Leaders faithfully attend football practices in the Minneapolis suburbs, mingle with teenagers at a mall in Stockholm and play pick-up soccer with former child-soldiers in Liberia. We listen to their stories and learn what’s important to them because we genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks. We believe in the power of presence. Kids’ lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God’s love with them. Because their leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose. This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make today, based upon God’s love for them, will impact future decisions … careers chosen, […]
