It is a separate experience from being born again- available to all who are born again, the Holy Spirit immerses us in Him to empower us to be His witnesses.

God wants to touch peoples lives, but He loves to work through His people. It is our privilege and responsibility to allow God’s power to flow through us to this world.
John 14:12-14
Not everything that happens on this earth is the will of God the Father. There is a force in this world that wants to stop the work and will of God in our lives, and that is the devil.

Without Jesus, we will be eternally separated from God. We need to be a light and a witness to the goodness of God so others may be saved.

RVFM is a minister and ministry development and care organization. We provide fellowship, training, and oversight for ministers, churches, and ministries. God has given us a vision to expand His kingdom by planting churches in the St. Croix River Valley, and wherever else He calls. We currently have churches in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Colorado.

Relationship and growth are essential in our Christian walk. Our goal is to express the image of our Savior, Jesus Christ. By focusing on, and growing in His biblical truths, the love of God is revealed to us and through us. It's His love that transforms our lives and helps us grow as the body of Christ.

Our heart is to reach the surrounding communities with the life changing truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel declares hope for all, salvation for all, life and relationship for all! It‘s about Jesus, our King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
