About Us
The Lord has been faithful with us throughout our entire life, from perdition state to adoption and from peril to a changed and peaceful life of 65 and 60; from a life of disobedience to that of servanthood. Credit goes to God and to Him alone.
Four decades of marriage and thirty-five years working together in service to the Kingdom of God seem to have sped by in an instant. Each day, our strength and hope refresh, and we dedicate ourselves joyfully to serving the Kingdom for God. Nevertheless, our gracious Lord continues to say: “Children, my work with you is not finished yet.” “The harvest is abundant, and I need you during this important period.”
On October 20, 2024, John and Francoise Ronel, Pastors Emeritus, and partners with the Heart of Kansas Southern Baptist Association, retired from the Oaks Fellowship Church in Wichita and began seeking God’s guidance for new orientation. Recognizing the Kingdom’s needs and the importance of having dedicated personnel to expand mission efforts, we founded the Abundant Relief Mission, Inc to strengthen our outreach initiatives. ARM is a Christian missionary movement focused on promoting Holy Matrimony among young believers, sharing Christ’s message and resources targeting homeless children, and guiding women of faith to serving God and His Church. ARM will serve as advocates for healthy, Christ centered families, with a special emphasis on promoting holy Matrimony, valuing, and embracing neglected children of the street and empowering women for the vital work of Church Mission.
You are encouraged to browse this website for a purpose. The Lord asks us to act as co-workers for the Kingdom, both to impact more lives, win more souls to Christ, and honor His Holy Name. Explore these pages for insight into what we are being called to accomplish together for the sake of the Kingdom and the Glory of His Name.
We dedicate ARM, Inc, to you, Lord. God, use this ministry for your Glory, Amen.

Faith intersects Strategy

With unwavering commitment, humility, and obedience to the Holy Spirit, every initiative we undertake is designed to reflect the Heart of Christ, inspire transformation, support the Church, and restore dignity of God’s people. Our approach is not just organizational, it’s spiritual. We believe true change begins from within, guided by love, prayer, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Through collaboration and faith, we are restoring hope, rebuilding families, and rekindling purpose for the glory of God.
Our Programs
1.Promoting Holy Matrimony:
We support marriage by offering biblical guidance, mentorship, and faith-based programs to help couples—especially first-time young couples—and build strong families rooted in God’s love.
2.Reaching the Children of the Streets:
Central to our mission is sharing the transformative message of the Gospel. We are dedicated to sharing the compassion of Christ with children living on the streets, many of whom struggling each day without hope. We believe this message brings light and encouragement to the lives of these street children, offering them hope for a brighter future. By introducing them to the teachings of Christ, we seek to inspire positive change and renewed purpose in their lives.
3.Empowering Women for Mission:
ARM is dedicated to supporting women as they discover and embrace their God-given purpose. We equip and inspire them to serve in a variety of ministry capacities and participate actively in community development. By fostering leadership, collaboration, and service, ARM creates opportunities for women to make meaningful contributions both within the ministry and throughout the broader community.
4.Creating Opportunities for Partnership:
Through strategic partnerships, we join forces with churches, ministries, and believers around the world. This collective approach enables us to work together with a unified purpose—to advance the work of the Kingdom, spread the Gospel, uplift communities, and glorify God.
At the heart of our mission is the desire to proclaim the excellencies of God and bring glory to Him. By joining others in faith and purpose, we magnify His Name and demonstrate the power of unity in serving His kingdom. Working together allows us to support and strengthen communities in meaningful ways. Whether through outreach programs, service projects, or spiritual encouragement, our collaborative initiatives will make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families.
