The beginnings of RTNI were birthed out of a God given vision to take the gospel to the nations and a heart for youth.  Ten years of short term mission trips and international ministry in South and Central America, Asia, Africa, and Europe and eight years of youth ministry have been the ground work.

In early 2007, Aaron and Emily Starr, with the guidance and counsel of Pastor Paul Walls, began the process of clarifying and writing the vision of RTNI.  In September, a Board of Directors was formed and RTNI was incorporated. 

In February 2007, Aaron and Emily bought a “pilot” RXN house in urban Columbus as a learning model for future RXN houses (which will be owned by RTNI).
