Our Mission

Red Thread Ministries was launched to serve the impoverished, underprivileged and under reached children and families within our local community, as well as those in our global community. For God’s love knows no boundaries, borders or socioeconomic status. Going beyond compassion is truly our ultimate goal, whether it’s going into the inner city and providing meals and Christmas gifts, or going beyond our state and country borders into other nations, equipping missionaries and bringing hope and resources to the poor, the destitute and the oppressed. The ministry was birthed out of three dedicated lives with a long history of serving children and the poor. Ronnie and Sherrie May and Becky Perkins began Red Thread Ministries in order to continue to weave a red thread of hope into the lives of children and families whose circumstances seem hopeless and bleak.

We have been invited to Swaziland, Africa, by Daran and Teresa Rehmeyer. The Rehmeyer's work with the Children’s HIV Intervention Programme in Swaziland, or CHIPS, which makes it possible for hundreds of children and caregivers to access lifesaving anti-retroviral treatment for HIV and many of the other associated diseases. Their current proposal is to establish a local clinic in Maphiveni that would allow CHIPS patients nearby access to health care and eventually could be expanded to provide most health-care services to the entire area’s population.


This team will be made up of medical and non medical personel.
The Rehmeyer's have requested:
  •  2 doctors (it would be great if the doctor(s) are teaching doctors) 
  •  3 nurses 
  •  1 person for pharmacy 
  •  1 person for heading (spiritual, social, etc.) counseling 
  •  2 people for intensive/interactive children's ministry for the children that will be there
