The objective of the World Outreach Ministry is to help Valley support the cause of Christ around the world. We support international missions because because Jesus instructed us to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19-20), and because missionaries may be the only Jesus the people in foreign countries will see.

Caribbean Evangelism, Inc.

Caribbean Evangelism shares God’s love and Word through many Christian churches and ministries on the island of Jamaica; including a radio program, medical clinics, and schools.

Pray for:
•    Maintaining financing to allow them to continue the weekly radio broadcast as this vital medium allows them to reach all areas of the island.
•    Expanding the leadership training and evangelistic crusades in areas of the island where there are no Churches of Christ or where existing churches need strengthening.
Praises for:
•    The new team of directors as this structure allows for increased viability. 

Casa de Niños

Casa de Niños provides a Christian home for children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected.  Through a family atmosphere the children learn what it means to love and to be loved.  As well as reaching out to the children of Central Mexico, Casa de Niños has ministries that reach out to the inner city of San Luis Potosi, that proclaim the Gospel and share the love of Christ throughout Mexico, and that train students to become preachers and teachers of God’s Word.

Pray for:
•    The financial support needed to keep the university students enrolled in college. 
•    The short term workers who will be traveling to Casa this summer to help with VBS and repair projects.
Praises for:
•    The opportunity the Casa college kids had to visit and worship in the states with family and partner churches.

•    Protection of the distribution partners who live around the world and of FMSC staff as they travel to countries where the food is distributed.
