Outreach Christian Fellowship

Welcome!
Director
From
the Director...
Here at Outreach Christian Fellowship we are blessed to be able to work
with so many Missionary families serving around the world. If you click
on the name of the missionary you will find a monthly update from most
of them. Some of the missionaries work in sensitive areas and we do not
publish information about them or their ministry at their request due
to the fact that it might hinder the work. The ministry of Outreach
Christian Fellowship is unique in that it is not denominational but
solidly evangelical in doctrine and practice. We do not ordain or
commission missionaries. We believe that to be the ministry of the
local church that sends them forth. For that reason the missionary can
retain his or her individual church affiliation. Most churches are not
set up to handle individual missionary accounts. Thats where we come
in. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that handles the finances
for the individual missionary and prints news letters where that
service is needed. Other services can be provided when needed. We are
regularly adding new missionaries. If you need more information or a
preliminary application it can be found on this Web Page.
Update
Mark 16:15
It has been
sometime since I updated this page.
Overall I think the year 2012 was a good year. My personal
travels were
limited due to health problems. I am past those health problems and
looking
forward to new travels. I was scheduled for my annual Honduras
Children’s
Christmas Outreach in December with a team of four other men. Just
before I was
to depart there was a death in the family and I had to stay behind. The
team
continued on and had a very good outreach. They provided gifts and food
to more
than 500 children. In addition they ministered in the juvenile
detention
Centers, churches, street ministry and feeding centers. You can see
some recent
pictures of the outreach in another part of the Web Page. We also
provided
funds to provide for gifts and food for about 200 children in
Bluefields, Nicaragua.
Our missionaries report a good year,
yet with many challenges. One of the greatest challenges that
missionaries face
is a consistent financial base. When you are a long distance from your
home
base and you are short on finances it can be a real trail of faith,
especially
for the unseasoned missionary. God is faithful.
We have added new missionaries
during 2012 but we have had some to retire. Health problems have
brought others
home temporarily. We have other applications waiting.
As Director of Outreach Christian
Fellowship I have spring outreaches planned for Honduras, Nicaragua and
Haiti.
Please pray for missionaries around the world. It is becoming a very
dangerous
calling. Missionaries are being threatened, imprisoned and even killed
for
taking a stand for Jesus.

New Update
We’ve just finished an Outreach to
a small island off the East Coast of Nicaragua called the The Bluff.
The Bluff is about a thirty minute ride by boat from the
mainland city of Bluefields. My good friend, Pastor Ike
Roberts and I departed Tyler, Texas on April 15 and returned April 22.
The Bluff for years has been a sleepy fishing community of about three
thousands with wages of about $2.00 per day if you had a job. In recent
months there is off shore oil excitement on the island and more jobs
are available. The oil company is making a lot of improvements to the
town such as streets and drainage. I pray that the people will see the
new economy as provision from the Lord for their families.
Pastor Ike Roberts and myself
ministered three services each day for five days. Even though most of
the people on the East Coast speak English, Spanish is still their
first language. For that reason all of the teaching was done through a
translator. We had wonderful worship and a very good response to the
ministry of The Word. As we departed the people were asking with tears
in their eyes when we would be returning. Please join us in prayer for
Pastor Leland Hodgson, the local pastor and his people as they continue
laboring together.
