Without Reservation Ministries
“We don’t want to tell you who to be; we want you to hear who God wants you to be. Inspire, Encourage, Empower, Equip” - This is the mission of Without Reservation Ministries, located in Show Low, Arizona. Founded and operated in 2014 by Matt and Karen McLean, who have been missionaries to the People of the White Mountains since 2010. Without Reservation Ministries believes that their ministry is a ministry of reconciliation. Without Reservation Ministries works alongside the people of the White Mountains to bring hope and second chances to the lost and hurting and those that are in need of Jesus Christ. They exist to disciple Native Americans to live a life fully devoted to following Jesus Christ. They believe this is done best through doing ‘life’ together with those around them.
Without Reservation Ministries is a part of the White Mountain Apache Church, which is a local church in White River on the reservation that is supported by several missionaries and families. WMACC is the main location of operation for WRM’s operation of ministry efforts on the reservation. This is where WRM’s mission teams have the opportunity to worship with brothers and sisters in Christ on the White Mountain Reservation. RCC has been sending short-term mission teams to Arizona since 2012 to work with Matt and Karen McLean and Without Reservation Ministries.
His Hands Construction
We've been going to Honduras since 2006 on mission trips, we have always wanted to do more for their community, but nothing has "felt" right. A couple years ago, we had a young man want to come to USA to train, learn about construction while working for our USA business. We eventually thought that might be a good idea so we started with the process of bringing him to the states for training. During this process we felt God's presence telling us that if we went to Honduras, we would be able to help a lot more people. As a result of God's leading, we started asking questions and researching the possibility of starting a business in Honduras.Thusly His Hands Construction Inc. was founded. The plan is to do projects while furnishing employment and training all while glorifying God!

CCHP has been partnering the longest of any
current mission organization RCC supports.
Their logo includes a heart – the purpose behind this is explained –
“The heart in our logo represents the radical transformation that only God can initiate. It reminds us that while we strive to do our jobs well each and every day, there is only One who can renew hearts and restore lives. As verse 20 [of Ezekiel chapter 11] says, “They shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Without Him, we are lost but with Him, we all have hope.”
