The Heart of Our Mission
The Rephidim Project exists to mobilize, equip and encourage pastors worldwide with a blueprint for expositional preaching that produces Christlike believers by the power of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God.
Founded in 2001 as a ministry of Galilee Church in Gorham, Maine, the Rephidim Project began with a vision to support and uplift missionaries around the world. Pastor David Christensen embarked on the first pastoral journey to Spain and Morocco, followed by trips to Ireland, Russia, and Panama. Our initial focus was on personal visits, preaching, and distributing audio sermons of Pastor Dave’s expository teaching, along with printed books for those in ministry—free of charge.
As the project expanded, it evolved into a dedicated organization. In 2016, we established a subsidiary to enhance our support for pastors and missionaries through personalized teaching, establishing preaching cohorts and the creation of both print and digital resources. By 2018, we achieved 501(c)(3) status, marking our transition into a fully independent non-profit ministry.
Join us in our mission to support pastors, strengthen communities, and transform lives through the power of God’s Word.
