Global Outreach
God says, “Serve the poor.” Love them, live with them, fight for their freedom. So we mobilize hundreds of people to build relationships and meet needs. And God shows up.
We believe we can make our best impact by deeply investing in a few global initiatives.
TRASH MOUNTAIN PROJECT
The Trash Mountain Project is a nonprofit organization that was founded after a trip to Tegucigalpa, Honduras in November of 2008. While filming a documentary about families living in the neighboring trash dump community, they felt a call to completely focus on raising awareness for children and families in trash dump communities throughout the world.

Missionaries to the Young Adults of Spain

Spain is a beautiful country! It is known for its towering buildings, rich art and cultural history, phenomenal food, and strong economy. From the outside, Spain is perceived as an enviable and self-sufficient country, but behind this facade it’s a very dark place spiritually.
-more than 70% of Spaniards are agnostic or atheistic
-in a country of over 40 million people, only 20,000 believers in AG churches
-200 churches within the AG fellowship
-89% of young adults live in major cities after graduating high school
-tremendous Muslim influence from Middle East/ North Africa
Though once known as a Roman Catholic nation, this changed after the dictatorship of Franco ended in 1975. The state mandated religion was no more, and most of the population at that time opted to leave that faith. Spain is now considered a “post-Christian” society. We believe that Spain is a “pre-Christian” culture, because those born in the last 30-35 years know nothing of Christ and his ability to transform their lives.
John & Brandi will be working with Young Adults/ campus ministry- and are so honored and excited! Please pray with us for Spain, for open doors and creative avenues of effective and relevant ministry!
