SERVING IN THE WORLD
Through global mission partners selected by the committee — CCSF truly does impact the world. Christ Church Santa Fe supports several national and international missions, providing assistance through prayer, finances and physical presence. Some of our partners in sharing Jesus Christ around the world are listed below.
Global Outreach (Tom Wright Executive Director) http://globaloutreach-inc.org
Global Outreach works with unreached people groups in remote villages in East Africa. They support local Christian men and women in these remote areas enabling them to carry out evangelism through “reproductive discipleship”. This requires the training of others to also present the gospel message and become leaders within their communities. Planting churches, building schools and clinics, drilling water wells and providing economic opportunities are all a part of reaching the needs of the people Global Outreach serves. Global Outreach’s motto is “Ministry begins where the road ends”.

Los Pinos Nuevos (LPN) church planters Ari and Frank Batista are planting a church in Historic Old Havana. (LPN is an indigenous, protestant, Cuban denomination.) They are focused on planting the church using their gifts as artists to communicate the Gospel through the arts in Old Havana. Ari and Frank are also instrumental in the instruction of hundreds of home church leaders throughout Cuba.

Dr. Victor and Teresa Cruz are church planers in Mexico City. Victor is the the pastor of Redeemer Church (El Redentor Ciudad de México).

Great Plains Gathering (Josh Charette; Committee Contact Annette Kaare-Rasmussen) www.greatplainsgathering.com
