Abundant Relief Mission, Inc. (ARM, Inc.)
Promoting Holy Matrimony, restoring families, Reaching out to children of the Street and Empowering women to fulfill God’s mission
About Us
Founded by SBC ministers, Abundant Relief Mission Inc (A Movement of Restoration and Mission) is a Christian organization dedicated to restoring families, reaching children of the streets, and empowering women to fulfill God’s mission.
The organization advocates for the well-being of families guided by Christian principles, with a primary focus on promoting matrimony, supporting disadvantaged children, and empowering women to participate in church mission work
We praise God for His amazing mercy and love. The Lord has been faithful with us throughout our entire life, from perdition state to adoption and from peril to a changed and peaceful life of 65 and 60, from a life of disobedience to that of servanthood. Credit goes to God and to Him alone.
We deeply value the commitment shown by SEND Network and NAMB, as well as the outstanding support from HOKSBA leadership and church members. Thanks to Eastminster Presbyterian Church for supporting local missions, and to First Free Evangelical Church for helping found and support Oaks Fellowship Church, Wichita’s first church for African immigrants. Because of you, our community members now attend church services and worship God in their own languages. Francoise and I say thank you.
Four decades of marriage and thirty-five years working together in service to the Kingdom of God seem to have sped by in an instant. Each day, our strength and hope refresh, and we dedicate ourselves joyfully to serving the Kingdom for God’s glory. Nevertheless, our gracious Lord continues to say: “Children, my work with you is not finished yet.” “The harvest is abundant, and I need you during this important period.”
On October 20, 2024, John and Francoise Ronel, Pastors Emeritus, and partners with the Heart of Kansas Southern Baptist Association, retired from the Oaks Fellowship Church in Wichita and began seeking God’s guidance for new orientation. Recognizing the Kingdom’s needs and the importance of having dedicated personnel to expand mission efforts, we founded the Abundant Relief Mission, Inc to strengthen our outreach initiatives. ARM is a Christian missionary movement focused on promoting Holy Matrimony among young believers, sharing Christ’s message and resources targeting homeless children, and guiding women of faith to serving God and His Church. ARM will serve as advocates for healthy, Christ centered families, with a special emphasis on promoting holy Matrimony, valuing, and embracing neglected children of the street and empowering women for the vital work of Church Mission.
We dedicate ARM Ministry to you, Lord. God use this ministry for your Glory, Amen.
