Mexico Outreach

Our Mexico Outreach is an ongoing partnership between First Free Church and several ministries in Ensenada Mexico which has flourished since 1989. Iglesia Getsemani and Jehovah Samma is a small, evangelistic church and Bible school led by Pastor Carlos Montoya in the heart of Ensenada, Mexico. Life Bridge Ministries operates Puenta de Vida elementary & middle school and Rancho el Refugio—a Christian camp and home to our short-term teams.

For over 25 years, First Free Church has been sending summer teams in support of all that God is doing in and through Iglesia Getsemani.

Brazil Outreach

Our Brazil Outreach is an ongoing partnership between First Free Church and a joint ministry effort in Recife, Brazil between GlobalFingerprints, a program of EFCA ReachGlobal, and Paulista Church, an Evangelical Free Church of Brazil. The GlobalFingerprints Program at Paulista Church is seeking to transform the lives of children and their community with the gospel of Jesus Christ through a robust program of child sponsorship. First and foremost, each GlobalFingerprints child is discipled to have a vital relationship with God, a strong character, and a biblical worldview. Our second goal is to empower children to experience and create healthy lives and relationships. Thirdly, children in our program are encouraged to love others as they have been loved by God by positively impacting their church and community.

Jim and Kathy Carlson

Vision: Our goal is to glorify God by helping to multiply transformational churches among all people.

Currently we are accomplishing this by helping team members settle in their new ministries, and by encouraging international church pastors and members through visits and itinerant preaching. And we are working at recruiting new workers for the harvest (Luke 10:2).

Global Assist

Vision: Making disciples of all nations. Matthew 28:19

Mission:

Propelling the work of disciple making through global native-led ministry partners.

Tagline: Healthy Partnerships Propelling Global Movements

Pray: There is a growing disciple making church planting movement amongst many of the unreached people groups in the world. All of our partners are asking for God to mobilize the youth to continue the movement so that the church can see the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

We always ask for God’s protection, provision and a spirit of boldness for all of our Global Ministry Partners, for their church planters, for their families. Almost all of our partners are working in areas where persecution of Christians is a real challenge, yet in the most dangerous of areas the Church is growing. Please always pray for these things as the spiritual warfare is very real.
