Life Outreach International
LIFE Outreach International is an organization committed to the commission of Jesus Christ to take the gospel to all nations. LIFE believes that Christ intended for us to demonstrate His love as well as proclaim it.
Water For Life
LIFE's Water For LIFE outreach utilizes portable drilling rigs to dig wells up to 1,000 feet deep in even the hardest to reach areas of Africa, Asia and South America to provide much needed clean drinking water to communities.
In January 2009, we decided to give a drink in the name of our Lord Jesus. Our project through Life Outreach was to raise funds to buy a well that would provide water in the community. The cost of the well is $4,800. We reached this goal in December 2009. This was by far our biggest project we ever completed.
Guatemala Missions
We share our Guatemala Missions in cooperation with the Church of the Messiah in Guatemala. Gregory Otzoy, an ordained elder in the Free Methodist Church, oversees 11 churches, one Bible college, one elementary and secondary school, five medical clinics, and a radio ministry. The Guatemalan mission district is located in the Patzicia Mountain range, about 55 miles north of Guatemala City.

Our mission team traveled to Patzicia, Guatemala in March of 2009. During this time, we helped in the construction of their music room and also, the female college students ministered to the school children by teaching them english using biblical illustrations. During each evening, we traveled to one of the 11 churches sharing our testimony and preaching the word with the help of a translator. Our total giving for 2009 to our Guatemala Mission Project was $2,800.00.

Our six person mission team traveled to Patzicia, Guatemala during March 13 - 18, 2010 located about 50 miles from Guatemala City. Our project for this year was to provide

The second house is currently under construction. We have two more houses to raise the funds for in which to complete our mission project for this year.

2019 Mission Trip To Guatemala
In March of 2019, Senior Pastor Adam Dilley went to Guatemala to connect with two different ministry groups located there. He connected with a new group and went to multiple locations each day ministering and witnessing to churches and ministries there. He also connected with our long time friends in ministry in Patzicia, Guatemala. There he was able to minister to the school they have as well as a few local pastors. We were able to provide financial support to multiple groups and ministries there as well as spiritual support. COVID-19 halted plans to go to Guatemala in 2020 and 2021. Both groups in Guatemala continue to expand their church base and number of pastors.
2020 to present
We focus on an annual offering to community missions, such as Oklahoma Regional Food Bank, City Rescue Mission or Grace Rescue Mission. Nationally and Internationally we give to Samaritan's Purse Ministry through Operation Christmas Child and other projects in which they do.
