our story
Redemption Tree International was founded in 2020 as Redemption Tree Incorporated, a Bilingual, grass-roots, missions outreach initiative aimed at reaching the world for Christ . Scripture tells us in 1 Peter 2:24 that Jesus was nailed to a tree for our redemption, so that we could be free from sin and be completely healed. This message is for all, regardless of ethnicity, race, culture, language, or geographic location.
Our initial focus began with local mission efforts. As the hands and feet of Jesus, we were living out the gospel message by reaching families and individuals in need. As time progressed, however, we refocused our efforts towards spreading the gospel message while equipping men and women to fulfill this mission.
Our vision is to be change agents commissioned by God to share the gospel message which has the power to transform. Our mission is to build a community of disciples, yielded to following Christ in mission and service.
Our core values
Scripture tells us to LOVE one another as Jesus loved us, that the world may know we are his disciples (John 13:34-35); be full of COMPASSION towards one another, with humility and a tender heart (1 Peter 3:8); SERVE with enthusiasm as if working for the Lord (Ephesians 6:8); bear the fruit of FAITHFULNESS, demonstrating devotion and gentleness (Galatians 5:22); and to model INTEGRITY, working with all seriousness and doing good works (Titus 2:7).
