Fueling the global mission of Christ by growing trusted relationships But more than projects, our work is about relationships.

For over 45 years, The Outreach Foundation has connected Christians in the United States with church partners around the world. We help our global partners train leaders, start new congregations, expand their outreach programs, and strengthen their ministries of compassion. We raise funds to support missionaries, projects, and partners who are sharing God’s love in word and deed. We take about 20 groups each year out into the world to see what God is doing and to build relationships between his people. Outreach is kind of like “connective tissue” in the body of Christ. And in making those connections we’ve discovered that we not only have gifts to share in God’s mission; we also have a lot to learn from our partners around the world.

Our Associate Directors for Mission have been logging SO many miles as they travel the country to attend conferences and visit with our partner congregations to bring them news from our global partners.

Rev. Kimmy Briggs spent time with the folks at Glacier Presbytery in Montana earlier this week, is headed to Omaha this weekend and Virginia next week!

There's so much good news about how God is moving in the world and we are so excited to share it. Please pray for our team as they continue this incredible work.

We were so grateful to join our many colleagues at the ECO Regional Conference this past weekend.

Hosted by Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church in Liberty Corner, New Jersey, about 150 leaders from Maine to Maryland gathered for a time of worship, professional development, prayer and fellowship.

Our Associate Director for Mission Doug Stewart spent time with Dana Allin, ECO Synod Executive and Rev. Barnabus Sprinkle, Pastor of Liberty Corner Church and had the opportunity to present on Global Missions in a World of Conflict. He was able to highlight the amazing work our mission partners in Ukraine, Africa, Iran and the Persian Diaspora faithfully carry out.

We have so much gratitude for the welcome we received and for our partnership with ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians.

It's National Boss's Day!

Rev. Mark Mueller, our ringleader here at The Outreach Foundation, told us he always knows his wife means business when she pulls her hair back and throws on her denim jacket.

And boy, did the women here at The Outreach Foundation get a kick out of showing Mark we mean business during our last team meeting. 😆

We are blessed by Mark's good humor, leadership and God-given talents he uses every day to make The Outreach Foundation the very best organization in global mission work; and are grateful he's assembled such a dream team to support it.

We have some BIG NEWS to share. It's time for more mission with less overhead!

Prices keep rising and expenses are tracking upward but The Outreach Foundation is thrilled to be lowering our fees!

The Outreach Foundation normally takes a 10% fee on all gifts to help offset administrative costs that we incur when carrying out God’s special call for us to fuel the global work of Christ.

However, our Board of Trustees recently voted to reduce our fee to 5% effective TODAY!

We are extremely excited about this news as even more dollars will be sent out into the world so that others might come to know of the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Amen for that.

We are so excited to welcome our newest partner, Haiti TLC for our next Virtual Partner Visit. We just got off a video call with them and after a tour of their Advanced Education Center in Belloc, we are so energized by their excitement and love for their community. They are truly the hands and feet of Christ there as they offer English classes, teach computer and sewing skills and even run a program that is giving families access to electricity in their homes for the very first time.

Please mark your calendar and make a plan to join us October 30th for our Virtual Partner Visit. You can register by following the link in our comments! 👇

Trustees and staff of The Outreach Foundation are preparing to travel to Indianapolis for our Fall Board meeting, which begins Monday. Our theme is🌾Cultivate🌾and we can't wait to explore how that leads us to fuel the global mission of Christ, together.

We are privileged to have these three experienced disciple makers planning to join us and share how God is guiding their work.

🌾Dr. Hrayr Jebejian (top left) is the General Secretary of our longtime partner the Bible Society In The Gulf, which serves the seven nations of the Arabian Peninsula through the translation and distribution of the Bible and Christian literature, as well as services like holistic ministry and leadership training.

🌾Dave Matthews (bottom left) is the founder of Reflejo, a ministry which uses its groundbreaking Discovery Bible Study method to reach people in some of the harshest neighborhoods of Lima, Peru. Now, this incredible ministry is going even further to create new disciples in central Asia!

🌾Dr. Telford Work (bottom right) is professor of theology at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA. His most recent books are What About Evolution? and Jesus—The End and the Beginning. A recent focus we are eager to learn more about is disciple-making movement (DMM) strategies and their implications.

Please pray for safe travel for our meeting attendees as well as productive and fruitful time together as we discern where God is leading The Outreach Foundation.

It is with great joy that we continue to share stories with you from our travelers of recent trips.

This testimony comes from Pastor Mike Elmer of Trinity Wellsprings Church in Florida who recently traveled with us to visit The Iranian Church of Brussels in Belgium.

"'Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!' Psalm 133:1

Trinity Wellsprings Church sent our small team to meet with the Iranian Church of Brussels on a vision trip to learn more about possible partnership in the future with the church.

We were most blessed by the opportunity: all along we were in the capable hands of Doug Stewart of The Outreach Foundation who guided the trip; we received a very warm welcome from the pastor of the church, Ahmad Jahanshahi and his wife Maryam, and we found a fervent and sincere fellowship of believers who worship whole-heartedly and pray passionately. The Lord brought us together in mutual affection by the power of the Spirit. Many times our conversations opened up to sharing our struggles, hopes, needs and lives with one another. The Spirit also met us powerfully in our worship together, so much so that even the language barrier did not diminish the joy of our time together.

One moment was a defining one for me: the four members of our team (including Doug) and four of the Iranian church were touring a castle in Bouillon. A young Belgian couple stopped me and asked, 'How does your group know each other?' They figured we were colleagues or former students with their teachers. When I told them that we are the church coming together to support one another, they were surprised.

The unity of the body of Christ is a testimony to the world and a marvel to those who see it."

Amen.

Organizing and hosting a mission Sunday for your congregation can be intimidating! We want to make it easy for you and your mission team. Our staff has curated a series of tools to include in our brand new Mission Sunday Toolkit!

We pray these will be useful for you to use as you fulfill your congregation’s missional calling to spread God’s love to the nations. You can find the kit using the link in our comments.

And, as always, if you need extra help please don't hesitate to reach out to us and we can work with you to curate a custom toolkit for your church family!

Christians have always found connection to one other, and to God, through the power of music. For many of you, the words in this song won't be familiar, but we bet the tune is.

We all belong to the body of Christ whether we worship at our home church or, like our friends on last week's trip to visit the Iranian Church of Brussles, an entire culture, language and world away.

We are all one.
We pray you hear this familiar tune and remember the God who loves us and calls us beloved.
