Ministries of First Baptist Church

 

Mission prayer line

Canada We need to remember that this country of ours is part of God's mission field. The needy all around us. Sometimes they are obvious, like the homeless and displaced people who can be seen on the streets of almost every big city, but what about those who are not so obvious - the shy, the lonely, the depressed? They may just be our next door neighbours, or sitting beside us in church on Sunday. We are the people of God and should be praying for each other on a regular basis. We can look around our own neighbourhood and church, systematically taking each one of our brothers and sisters to the Lord, asking for His strenght, guidance, wisdom and comfort- He knows what each one needs.

LOVE

 
Colossians 1:28

We proclaim Him admonishing & teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

 

 

About Our Pastor

 

Pastor Bob Rittenhouse and his wife Susan have been married for 37 years. They have three wonderful daughters and three wonderful Christian sons-in law - Cheryl and Rick, Tammy and Vincent, and Bobbie-Sue and Matt. They have also been blessed with a total of 9 grandchildren - Katie, Hope, Olivia, Stephanie, Alexandra, Joel, Jonah, Preston, and Harrison- ages 12 down to 2 years of age.

Susan (who Bob says is his help mate in ministry), is a registered Health Care Aid and enjoys working with the elderly whether it be in their home or in a Nursing home.

Susan brings to the ministry a compassionate heart and a discerning Spirit, to go along with her organizational skills and a heart for evangelism, and prayer. Susan's concern for families and mothers is evident and she has worked along with Bob at conferences and other ministry events.

Both Bob and Susan have been involved in many ministry-related programs including serving on the organization committee for the Billy and Franklin Graham Crusades held in Niagara Falls, Toronto and Buffalo. Bob and Susan were also for a short time the Volunteer Coordinators for Focus on the Family Ministries Canada in Niagara. Bob has also worked as the motivational speaker for pastor through Mainstay Church Resources based in Chicago, which is a ministry to local pastors and lay leaders to help pastors help their people grow spiritually in their walk with Jesus.

It is the desire of both Bob and Susan, to interact and to motivate God's people to live for Christ and to win others to Him. it is with the help of the Holy Spirit that both Bob and Susan wish to teach, encourage, motivate, and to disciple God's People into an awareness of the deep love of Jesus Christ for His church and for the lost.
