STEP stands for Short-Term Exposure Programme. We step outside our Singapore context to see first-hand what God is doing in and through other churches and ministries. Our goal is to learn, serve, and walk alongside our brothers and sisters who have been faithfully ministering in their local context long before we arrived. 

Jesus gave the Great Commission to us all, to make disciples of all nations. In Ephesians, Paul reminds us that leaders are given to equip everyone for ministry so that the whole body grows. That equipping looks different for each of us. Some are called to go, others to send, give or pray for the team while they are away. 

Over the years RHC has built relationships with churches across Asia Pacific. We visit, pray, and help where we genuinely can. Paul thanks the Philippians for their partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. That is what we hope to build with every church we visit- a relationship that continues long after the trip ends.

We often talk about our vision: to see Asia renewed by people, churches, and cities transformed by the gospel. But what does that actually look like on a regular, ordinary Tuesday afternoon? The truth is, gospel renewal isn’t a big, abstract concept. It’s happening right now in our homes, workplaces, neighbourhoods, and daily routines. It’s found in the quiet conversation in your office pantry, the shared cup of kopi at the local kopitiam, and the intentional ways you love your neighbours and colleagues.

That’s why we are launching "Our Vision, Through Your Eyes," a participatory creative initiative inviting every RHCer to share how they see the gospel at work in their everyday lives and ministry.

How to Participate:
We want to capture a "gallery of grace" that reflects the transforming power of Jesus in our midst. You don’t have to be a professional artist to join in! We welcome all creative expressions and mediums, including but not limited to:

• photography & graphic design,

• painting, drawing, & sculpture,

• poetry, prose, prayer & short stories,

• music & song lyrics

Whether it’s a simple phone snap of your morning commute with a short reflection, an abstract painting of our city, or a poem about finding hope in a hard season, we want to hear your story. (Note: All visual pieces should include a brief caption explaining the heart behind it!)

Campaign dates: Submit anytime from 9 August - 4 October.

Early Birds: Want to help us lead the way? Submit your piece by end July to be featured as one of our launch examples!

Where to submit: Send digital pieces to missions@rhc.org.sg, or drop off physical pieces at the RHC main office on Sundays (Attn: Gerald, Missions)

Where will my art be displayed: Your artwork will be featured physically at the Vision Gallery at the Missions Ministry Open House and Hope in Action event later in the year.

Lucky draw: Every eligible submission will be entered into a lucky draw. One winner will receive a fully sponsored return flight to join a STEP trip in 2027 to a location like Osaka, Perth, Hanoi, Chiang Mai, or Cebu.
