Arista baby news!
We are excited to announce that one of our lovely missionary families are expecting a child in just a couple months! Christopher and Rachel Arista, our missionaries in Costa Rica, have been faithfully serving the Lord through an extremely difficult time over the last year. In November, you gave and provided support for them, allowing them to be a desperately needed source of hope to their community. We are always amazed by your generosity in caring for God’s people around the globe.
In September, the Aristas will be welcoming their fourth child, and we want to be a blessing to them in this time. Due to their place of ministry, the options for medical care surrounding childbirth are narrow and often the cause for serious stress or trauma. We want to ensure that the Aristas, and Rachel in particular, have the best and safest care available. However, this care comes at a cost – about $7,000. While this is a large sum for any one household, this is a very small amount for the RtH family as a whole.

2020 Year In Review
2020 wasn't what we expected, but you did some amazing things!
2020 is a year that few of us would willingly relive. But as we reflect, we find that God stretched and challenged us in ways we weren’t expecting. Even as we lamented our inability to send teams to work alongside our brothers and sisters abroad, we saw so many of you step up to give generously, ensuring that ministry continued in the Philippines, Costa Rica, Malawi, Mexico, and the U.S.
It is easy to think about 2020 as a “down” year without missions trips, but in reality we now see just how effective Reaching the Hungry has been. Even when teams are stranded here at home, kingdom work continues. You reached over 1,000 families in the Philippines with the Wick family, kept outreach and discipleship moving in Malawi, sent love and gifts to children at an orphanage in Mexico, and rallied around the Aristas in Costa Rica amid scarcity. You provided hand sanitizer & medical gloves to 20 local churches and distributed 1000's of pounds of clothing to partner organizations here in So Calif. You put in some serious work and have a lot to show for it – THANK YOU!
We also stayed busy here at home, debuting a new website and tools to help us connect with you better in the future, and holding 5 training sessions in November to prepare teams for upcoming trips. Your generosity inspired us to sacrificially give over $80,000 to our international partners, trusting God will replenish our 2021 budget. Last year brought a bit of transition for us, but we love where we are headed.
In 2021, we are asking you to deepen your commitment to RtH through prayer, giving, and reaching out to get others involved. Please consider increasing your monthly support or joining our support team if you haven't already. There is so much to be done, and we are so excited to do it all together with you. Let’s continue to Give, Go, and Grow together!
Together in Christ,

#GivingTuesday - Pastor Chris & Rachel in Costa Rica
View Special Message in your Browser
This year, the pandemic’s restrictions and economic impact have left the Aristas in a difficult place. In spite of this, they continue in the work to which God calls them. Seeing their faithfulness in hardship, we believe that we would do well, as Paul says, to share with them in their trouble.
Many of us are feeling the impact of all this year has thrown at us, but we are asking you, our brothers and sisters, to do what the Church has always done and respond with love and generosity. This #GivingTuesday, we are asking you to give financially to the Aristas, providing them with housing, daily needs, and the resources to continue the ministry to which God has called them. Our goal is to raise $3,000 – an amount well within reach if we spread the word and are faithful in giving, no matter the size of our individual gifts.
