Global Outreach
Leading our world to know and trust Jesus
“Go and make disciples”
Jesus' last command - our first priority. Why should we care about the world "out there" when there are so many needs right here at home? Because Jesus did. And does. And He does through us, the Church. He has given us the incredible task and privilege of making disciples in all nations and being His witnesses to the ends of the earth (Matthew 28:19,20; Acts 1:8). Global Outreach is the cross-cultural communication of the gospel. It is taking the message and life of Jesus to those who have not yet heard of him.
Vision
Our vision is to see the Church established within each people group of the world and equipped so that it can effectively reach the rest of its people group with the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ.
To accomplish this task, we seek to give priority in our mission’s efforts to unreached people groups who have little to no access to the gospel. Three billion people not only have not heard about Jesus--but cannot hear, because there's no one in their people group to tell them.
Global Partners
We can’t, nor do we want to, do this work by ourselves. We strive to work together in partnership with agencies, ministries, and churches in culturally effective ways to demonstrate the grace and holiness of Jesus Christ. We encourage you to stay connected with our partners by grabbing a prayer card from the Global Partner Wall in the lobby.
Barnabas Prayer Time
How can you make a difference across the globe right from where you live in Indiana? Barnabas was a key partner with the apostle Paul as they sought to bring the gospel to the nations. In a similar way, our Barnabas Prayer Times serve as spiritual and emotional lifelines to our missionaries.
Vision Trips
We believe that taking a trip to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of our strategic partner countries is the best way to get a real vision for the heart of our global outreach ministry. Interested in participating in a Vision Trip? Contact Luke Jones.
Annual Christmas Offering
The Annual Christmas Offering was started in 1996 by our planting church, College Park Church. Each year, money from this offering goes to an intentional and strategic project that will “make a dent, not a dimple" in a worthy ministry seeking to make disciples of Jesus Christ. The Christmas Offering has helped propel ministries, both near and far, in their ability and capacity to carry out the mission of sharing the gospel with all peoples.
Giving for this offering opens each December.
