Missions & Outreach

Discover how ResLife supports global missions and local outreach.

A Heart For

Missions

If you have a heart for missions you’ll want to see what God is doing through ResLife!

Every week we share the solid biblical teachings we get from Pastor Duane Vander Klok through the ministry of Walking By Faith. Teachings are broadcast around the world via television and the internet.

ResLife supports missions and missionaries in locations all over the world including Mexico, Poland, Pakistan, Russia, Cuba, India, Guatemala, the Czech Republic and more. We also help support the World Missions initiative for Treasure audio bibles that bring God’s word translated in native languages.

Missions Trips from Organizations We Partner With

A percentage of every offering goes to support missionaries and mission organizations across the world.

Our Community

We are dedicated to addressing the unique challenges our community faces, offering hope through the gospel and practical support. Our outreach ministries provide services that meet real needs, foster relationships, and create spaces for connection and healing. By engaging with families, individuals, and youth, we aim to bring lasting change and share God’s love in meaningful ways.

Local

Outreach

ResLife supports many local west michigan outreaches such as Access of West Michigan, Mel Trotter Ministry, West Michigan Teen Challenge, Love Your Neighbor and more that include the inner city of Grand Rapids, for both adults and children.

Some of these local outreaches, Dream Center, Street Light, Prison Ministry,  Pregnancy Resource Center, and our Food Pantry offer opportunities for you to be involved.

CAP Program Supports At-Risk Youth in Partnership with Crisis Aid

Through ResLife’s sponsorship and Crisis Aid, the CAP program works with local law enforcement. The Children’s Anti-Exploitation Partnership (CAP) Program here in West Michigan is located inside the Wyoming Police Department. This program helps police officers connect children and teens identified with at risk behavior and their families to a CAP advocate for counseling and mentorship. ResLife funds this program through Crisis Aid International to manage and staff it to the highest capability. Since opening, the CAP Program has counseled over 100 girls and family members. This is a tremendous blessing in our community!

Safe Haven for Young Women Rescued from Trafficking

The House of Hope will become a safe place of refuge and restoration to minister to young women and teens rescued out of sex trafficking making it possible for them to reconnect and build a new future. Referrals will come from police or FBI. Crisis Aid International will manage and staff the home, located right here on the ResLife property! We will be able to share the Gospel with these girls, and their lives are going to be changed!

We are so thankful to our congregation, community, and contractors for all of the contributions that have come in for the House of Hope Project! This project will continue to be our focus for 2024. We ask for your continued support to change the lives and future of the girls who will make the House of Hope their home upon its completion.

Pakistan

The Walking by Faith program is aired weekly on the ShineStar network in Pakistan. Pastor Duane’s messages have been translated in to the local language and we have had many reports of salvations and healings. A missions team has been sent to Pakistan on two separate visits to the refuge camp that ResLife supports and the brick kilns to preach the gospel of Jesus and baptize people. A well has been built to provide fresh water in one of the villages that they visited.
