Overview

Mission

Light Of The World Ministries International is a Bible-Believer Church that acknowledges Jesus Christ is Lord. Our vision is to see every believer become a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through discipleship. We aim to help the church rediscover and practice personal relationship with God through effective prayer, Bible study and fellowship with Holy Spirit. We as the Body of Christ are in this journey together. RPC VA's mission is to equip disciples for the Great Commission and meet the needs of people. Deuteronomy 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

What it reported doing in 2025

Light Of The World Ministries International was founded in 2021 as a ministry to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serve those in need. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been many requests for emergency support made by individuals and families. The ministers at RPCVA decided to start feeding the community monthly. We have been serving the following communities: Southside Gardens, Cavalier Manor, College Square, Belleville Meadows, and Silvertree Seniors of Portsmouth. However, we need a building facility for organizational operations so that we can make a greater impact on those that we serve. We need a permanent meeting place to host ministry team meetings, conduct job fairs for the community, store large quantities of food, conduct health-related seminars, and perform religious activities. Currently, we are limited to what we can do as a ministry; for instance, the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank has partnership opportunities, but we do not have the storage space available to qualify partnering with them. RPCV has many programs in process that benefit the community. A description of each program will be shared as follows:

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
