ABOUT US
|
After seeing too many families quit thriving ministries in other cultures due to lack of training, we knew something needed to be done. World Outreach Center was born in 2007 out of the need to equip long-term missionaries to survive the strain of cross-cultural ministry and relationships.
The Holy Spirit made it clear that the best solution was to build a community of people living in open relationship with Him as well as each other. Family-style teams trained and equipped to thrive would stand the best chance at establishing long-term ministry cross-culturally. Since 2007, we have hosted year-round team training at our Fort Mill, SC location, facilitated three-month internships for students around the globe, and sent strategic short-term trip teams to the nations. |
At World Outreach Center, we believe whole-heartedly that the Great Commission is for every believer. So whether you’re a church looking for someone to help provide mission teaching to your congregation, a missions pastor desiring to take a short-term trip team overseas, or an individual seeking your role in building the Kingdom, we have a place for you.
