taking the gospel across the street and around the world
Living Locally... Going Globally
Our vision is based on the Parable of the Good Samaritan
Found in Luke 10
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he gave two denarii to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you.'
"A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him."
Jesus told them, "Go and do likewise."
OUR MISSION
(Exodus 17:12)
Locally: Serving Those Who Serve
“When Moses' hands grew tired… Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on one side, one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset.” (Ex. 17:12)
Our ministry is to be a ministry in the pattern of Aaron and Hur to Moses. We want to lift the hands of ministers who have grown tired in battle, by coming along side of them and giving them strength and courage, so that they can be steady and successful.
We will join with God where He is already at work among the churches and para-church ministries within the city of Riverside that need specific and skilled help with special projects.
(Isaiah 6:8-9)
Globally: Going Where God Guides
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
He said, "Go…”. (Isaiah 6:8-9)
Glocal Outreach is willing to GO wherever God sends, whenever God calls; to assist local, national, and global ministries by lending a hand in times of need.
We have developed GO teams who are ready to go at a moments notice to assist and serve our fellow man during a national or global catastrophe.

What We
Offer
Outreach
Glocal helps with many outreaches throughout the year like...

Easter Sunrise Service

Thanksgiving Outreach
Pastoral Care
Our ministry to pastors includes hosting our city's monthly Pastors Prayer Fellowship; organizing and hosting two mini (half day) Retreats for Pastors; and Preaching for Pastors when they just need to get away. Our goal is to let every Pastor in Riverside know that there is an organization that cares about their health and longevity in ministry.
Sheriff/Secret Service Chaplain
As a Sheriff Chaplian, I am able to minister to the needs of the Deputies. This is done through monthly ride-alongs and being "on call" for events where they feel a chaplain is warranted. With the Secret Service I minister to the agents working out of our Riverside office.
Go Teams
Our GO Teams are ready in a "moments notice" to assist with special events. That could be assisting with search and rescue of a lost child, setting up the command center for a county fire, building a stage for a local church, sending a team to Japan after their earthquake and tsunami.
Disaster Relief
After growing up in Scouting and becoming an Eagle Scout, I learned what it meant to "Be Prepared". Now, after helping with many "disaster" situations, our family came to the conclusion that we couldn't just help others without first preparing ourselves. That is where this aspect of Glocal Outreach was born!
"Driven by the love and compassion of Jesus Christ, Glocal Outreach delivers disaster relief to communities in crisis. We accomplish this by:
-
Mobilizing willing Christian volunteers
-
Deploying essential emergency resources and
-
Trying to be the feet, hands and heart of God
Glocal partners with local churches and other disaster organizations to provide life-sustaining aid. During a family’s darkest hour, when they just want to give up, we come along side to help restore, rebuild and renew their courage and outlook on life. We seek to not only talk about God, but to be God with flesh on. By living out the good news of Jesus, God can ultimately turn a person’s ashes into beauty, for His glory!
