Love God, Grow Together, Reach the World

Global Outreach exists to:

  • Inspire and involve the church to reach the world.
    Injustice, poverty, broken families, disease… these are daily reminders that we live in a world lost in sin and evil. But God is on a mission to redeem lost and hurting and evil people. In fact, the Bible tells us that one day redeemed people from every ethnic group on earth will worship Him. While we wait for this day, the job of every follower of Jesus is to join in His mission to reach the world with the message of redemption. Global Outreach exists to help every WBCer discover his or her role in this global mission of God.
  • Prepare and send missionaries from WBC.
    God calls some in our congregation to go as missionaries—to cross into another culture to serve Him. We prepare people for this task by helping them find strategic roles and mentoring them as they grow in character, competency and connection with the WBC community. We send missionaries out with a commitment of care, prayer, and financial support.

A Heritage of Global Mission

  • The Beginning
    In 1931, our annual budget for mission was $600. In 1933, we raised support for the first Wheaton Bible Church missionaries, Robert and Winifred Hockman, to be sent out from our congregation. We sent them at the same time that we were raising money for our first church building. In those days, it could take weeks, months or sometimes the better part of a year for missionaries to arrive at their new homes. Means of travel included trains, ships, and caravans with pack animals.
  • Our Commitment
    Our commitment to reach the world is reflected in the fact that approximately one-quarter of our church budget is directed to global and community outreach. Our 96 missionary individuals and families serve in 40 countries in a wide variety of roles. Many of them have deep roots at WBC because they lived here for many years before going to the field or one spouse "grew up" here, or as a result of being second generation WBC missionaries.
