Director of Missionary Staff and Pastoral Care… as missionaries in the Reformed Church in America, in partnership with Remember Nhu ministry, we work to end child sex slavery through prevention. Our primary roles include: discernment and transition of new missionaries; and provision of pastoral care, discipleship and leadership training to missionaries helping to equip and sustain them in mission. We also provide oversight to our global child discipleship and child vocational training in addition to serving on the Remember Nhu Board of Directors.
A child, some as young as toddlers, is sold into the sex trade for the first time every 30 seconds. Our partnership with Hope, through your generous support and prayers, allow us to fight together to end child sex slavery. On behalf of the 14,000 children who have been assured freedom in this world and for eternity, thank you!
Grace and peace in Christ Jesus,
Rev. Bob Abel | Director of Staff and Pastoral Care

Serving with One Collective. One Collective is a global non-profit that works in communities around the world and is passionate about making sure no one is invisible and everyone has access to food, freedom, and forgiveness. Following Jesus - we bring people together to help the oppressed in order that lives and communities can be transformed.
S’MORES International is a small Christian mission that focuses on programs that help people in impoverished nations improve their lives, with an emphasis on economic sustainability. We do this by providing the tools to help people improve their lives, mainly through education and small, interest-free loans, while respecting and enhancing the local economy. We believe the best way to help people is to give them a hand up, not a hand out. S’MORES International aims to make meaningful and long-term connections with the people we serve to make a lasting difference in their lives and communities.

technically listed as “homeless” at any given time
