About Us

“…and this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

Matthew 24:14

It is therefore God’s plan and purpose that every ethno-linguistic people group has an opportunity to hear and embrace the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our calling is clear – to serve until the task is complete, engaged in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting — changing lives for eternity.

Who Are We?

World Outreach is a missions agency, which means we’re a ministry organisation that exists to facilitate Christian missionary endeavour. This includes things like: evangelism, discipleship, church planting, community development, and humanitarian aid.

Pentecostal and Charismatic in ethos, WO has a passionate belief in the life-changing power of the Gospel and a dependence on the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.

“World Outreach exists to evangelise and disciple unreached people groups, equipping them to disciple their own and other peoples.”

1932

Yes! We’ve been around since 1932.

What Is An Unreached People Group?

A people group is an ethno-linguistic group, distinguishable by their language, culture, or beliefs. There are 17,400+ people groups in the world. Of these, a staggering 7,400 are classified as unreached.

The term ‘unreached people group’ (UPG) is used in missions circles to describe an ethno-linguistic people group “among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize this people group without outside assistance”.

3,270,000,000

There are still 3.2 billion people living in unreached people groups with little or no opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Unreached people groups often live in difficult places, speak difficult languages, and are hard to reach. But we are compelled by the love and message of Jesus to go and reach these people.

Our goal is not evangelism alone, but, through discipleship and leadership training, to enable them to disciple their own people and plant their own churches, then go to reach other peoples with the Gospel.
