The history behind RDM
About Robert Deno Ministries
RDM is a nonprofit organization that aims to uplift, educate, empower, and support Indigenous leaders in evangelism, church planting, pastoring, vocational training, and compassion projects. Currently, we operate in
Pakistan, Uganda, and Bangladesh.
Rev. Bob (B.A., M.Div.) and Verna Deno have been living a life of faith and service since their marriage on July 22, 1972. They have been involved in various ministries throughout their journey, including youth work, missionary work, and church planting in Italy, as well as pastoring, teaching, and leading home churches and Bible studies.
Bob spent 25 years in construction and building maintenance, while Verna worked as a school secretary in Washington State and a bilingual tutor in Alaska. After retiring from the Anchorage School District in 2018, they relocated to Hayden, Idaho, and spend their winters in sunny Arizona.
Their hearts beat for spreading the gospel to the unreached, and they are overjoyed when others join their spiritual family in this journey. They delight in witnessing spiritual growth and people receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
This ministry is driven by a passion for transforming poor communities' spiritual and physical well-being. We focus on providing training and education. Our organization evolved from personal relationships with Third World Christian leaders. We seek like-minded individuals to partner with us, fostering personal connections to address needs in hard-to-reach countries.
