Rio Rancho Church Evangelism Efforts

RIO RANCHO, N.M. – In late 2024 and early 2025, Rio Rancho Seventh-day Adventist Church reached more than 1,200 homes throughout the local area through quick, respectful literature drops, placing the literature on driveways and door pouches. These simple, intentional methods allowed the message to reach homes efficiently.

In December, church members prepared outreach packages that included the books Thrive and The Great Controversy, the tract Love Letter from Jesus and a card linking recipients to prophecy resources.

The church also expanded its digital reach, offering The Great Controversy and Bible studies and inviting the Rio Rancho community to watch Amazing Facts Prophecy Odyssey. More than 1,300 individuals clicked the link and were directed to the prophecy seminar.

The church has also maintained a strong and visible presence within the broader community. For the past five years, members have participated in the Mayor’s Sunday Is Funday event, Rio Rancho’s largest annual gathering held at Haynes Park. Each year, approximately 6,000 people attend the event. This outreach has provided meaningful opportunities to connect with families by distributing health and religious literature and offering children’s outreach activities.

Kristy LaFrance and church elder Elgin Jenkins led these coordinated efforts. Many others faithfully contributed their time, energy and prayers, adding to the overall success of these witnessing initiatives.

Looking ahead, the church is confident that the coming year will be just as impactful as they continue to see God working in and through His people. Time is short, and the church is committed to acting with purpose and urgency. Experience has shown that simple methods, when well planned and supported by constant prayer, work best. The Rio Rancho church praises the Lord for the opportunity to share the Three Angels’ Message with their dear family, friends and neighbors.
