Rosedale Mennonite Missions (RMM)
Rosedale Mennonite Missions is a diverse mission agency of Conservative Mennonite Conference. It sent its first workers to Kentucky in 1946 and its first overseas missionaries to Germany in 1951. It started a refuge for street children in Ecuador, plants churches among Muslims in the Middle East, oversees a division of the Choice Books program, and offers short and long term opportunities for mission's workers. Long term missionaries currently serve in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mexico, Germany, Bangladesh, and Turkey. A number of missionaries also serve in various locations within the US.
The short-term opportunities include REACH, a discipleship training and short-term missions program for young adults. It begins with a training in August for three months and concludes with a 6-9 month outreach. Recent teams have gone to Ecuador, Kenya, Gambia, and the Middle East. SWIM is a shorter program designed for high school age youth. It includes two weeks of training and one month of outreach. City Challenge is a program for youth groups that includes five days in the city of Columbus. It combines teaching and spiritual input with involvement with inner-city ministries.
