We believe Jesus meant what he said in Acts 1:8 when he called his followers to make disciples both at home and abroad. To that end, we take part of the offerings given to our church and invest them in people who are living on mission and starting and leading ministries for Jesus in other places. These men and their families are more than recipients of our financial gifts; they are part of our faith family. We would encourage you, as God leads, to write them a message of encouragement or to pray for them today. Know that if God leads Origins to go on a mission trip, we will first consider these men and ministries in looking for a place to serve.

Will and Becca are planting a church in "West West Greenville." They are seeking to be a community of missionary-disciples that spread the message of reconciliation so that their friends, neighbors, communities, and beyond, can experience the goodness, joy, and peace that comes from life with God.
In 2019 we entered into a long-term partnership with Food for the Hungry. Through this partnership we have adopted the village of Caquipec, Guatemala. The goal is to end poverty on all levels. We get to help children and families with education, career training, health education, and ultimately share the Good News of Jesus with them throughout the entire process. We go about this through a variety of means including child-sponsorships as well as taking teams down to serve the amazing people of Caquipec. If you would like any more information or would like to sponsor a child, please email us directly!
If you’d like an address to write a handwritten note to one of these men, their wives, or their children; would like to know their birthdays or anniversaries; would like to know about going on a mission trip; or want to talk about further ways to bless these strategic partners, please let us know by filling out a request on our Contact Us page.
