Outreach for Jesus is a missions oriented ministry.

We started by taken care of the needy and the Hispanics in our area. Now we are expanding into helping the street children of Guatemala and street families of Romania. We want to make sure that all who come in touch with Outreach for Jesus learn that Jesus loves them, and that they can do all things through Jesus.

Outreach for Jesus is a mission committed to reaching Spanish migrant workers, the poor, drug addicts, alcoholics, and all who need help. We work for interracial justice and understanding among those we meet.

Our mission covers more than feeding the needy. Through God’s instruction and direction, we are helping them get jobs. We are teaching them the Gospel, and we are leading them toward moral and productive lives.

Our mission is to love the Lord and our fellow men. We are determined to teach the word of God, feed the hungry, dress the needy, and unite cultures and churches so that together we can fulfill our common goal to preach the gospel, help fight poverty and relieve human suffering.

We believe that when we help our brothers and sisters meet their immediate needs, and teach them how they can help themselves; then we have shown them the first step of our mission, which is the unconditional love of God.

Our first international mission took us to Guatemala where we are responding to the call of God to “Go to all the World”. Our call is to feed the street children of Guatemala.

MISSION GUATEMALA

An estimated 100 million children live and work on the streets in the developing world; 40 million in Latin America. Most street children (75 percent) have some family links but spend most of their lives on the streets begging, selling trinkets, shining shoes or washing cars to supplement their families' income. Most never go beyond a fourth-grade education.

The remaining 25 percent of these street children live in the streets; often in a group of other children. Known as "street children", they sleep in abandoned buildings, under bridges, in doorways, or in public parks.

In Guatemala, about 70 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty, which means they cannot meet, on a regular basis, their most basic needs for food and shelter.
· Street children are abused sexually, and
· Children struggle to survive in the streets but many are killed
