Vision

For the past several years, Royal Lane Baptist Church has planned summer mission trips in coordination with theCooperative Baptist Fellowship’s rural poverty initiative called Together for Hope. This initiative represents a twenty year commitment by CBF to do ministry in the 20 poorest counties in the United States. These counties are clustered in five regions as follows:

• Appalachia
• Black Belt
• High Plains
• Mississippi River Delta
• Rio Grande Valley

To date, Royal Laners have served in all five: Appalachia (2006), the High Plains (2005), the Rio Grande Valley Valley (2004) and the Mississippi River Delta (2003), and Marion, Alabama, the Black Belt (2007).

We are serving alongside Cornerstone Baptist Church in south Dallas during the week of July 28th – August 1st, 2008.
