Purpose
The Global Outreach team is a Casas adult support ministry chartered to help Bible Fellowships send Casas people outside their normal spheres of influence (culture, language, or nation) to make disciples of Jesus, to mentor new followers of Christ, to start new churches, and to partner with existing churches to make disciples of Christ.
Strategic Initiatives
Two strategic initiatives provide the framework for all that we do.
Initiative 1: GO Process
Objective: Help Bible Fellowships understand relational local/global outreach and lead Bible Fellowships to initiate trips that send their members to do field work with a Casas-supported missionary who can receive teams.
.
Initiative 2: Supporting our Long-term Missionaries
Objective: Affirm and facilitate God’s call on the lives of Casas members to become long-term or career missionaries and to lead regular participants in the Sunday morning experience to provide relational, practical and financial support to those from Casas who have been accepted to do work with Casas-approved sending agencies.
Driving Force Values
There are three driving values or beliefs that are foundational to our work and influence all we do:
1. We believe that relational cross-cultural outreach is for every person and every Bible Fellowship. It is a normal response both to God’s love and to his instruction. We believe God expects that response from every Christ-follower, not just the few who are blessed with the spiritual gift of evangelism or a prior passion for missions.
-
We believe that our efforts should result in the establishing of churches by and for indigenous peoples.
-
We believe that least-reached people groups should have priority over any other Casas’ outreach effort. (read the story of The Island)
Priority of Casas Global Outreach:
The people of Casas helping start new churches within least-reached people groups in Tucson and around the world.
Least-Reached People Groups
Groups that are closed to, and isolated from, the normal sphere of influence of the Church where we need to go across barriers of culture, language, or distance in order to start new churches and partner with existing churches to reach their communities.
