Welcome to Island Outreach

For 35 years I have been going, two to four weeks each year, to preach on the Out Islands of the Bahamas. Through those years I have met some of the most wonderful people. God has placed a burden on mine and Paula’s heart for the many people of the islands. We have met young preachers’ that are discouraged and ready to quit. They have very little outside help and they feel abandoned and alone as they serve God on some of the remote Islands. It is these pastors and their wives that I believe we can make a difference in.

Paula and I use the airplane to fly into these smaller islands and help these young pastors reach their people with the gospel. It is my desire to encourage the pastor, and Paula will help these young pastor’s wives to build a ministry to reach the women. Some of these islands are small with only a handful of people. Places like Current Island with just 35 residents and Ragged Island with 81. It is these Bahamian and Haitian pastors that we are helping to train and encourage.

If we can spend a few days with these pastors in helping them equip and train their leaders, we believe that we can make a big difference in reaching the next generation in the Bahamas.

For us to be able to do this I must have a home base to serve from. I am serving as the senior pastor of the New Life Bible Church on the Island of Man-O-War, Abaco, Bahamas. Man-O-War Cay is located just five miles off the coast of Abaco, Marsh Harbor. This is a church filled with mission minded people. They are a very mature and seasoned congregation. Paula and I will be ministering to the people of Man- O-War on a weekly basis. Our goal is to lead them into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. We will spend our time building relationships with both young and old, training them not only to grow in Christ, but to better equip them to reach out to others. The people of New Life Bible Church have been an example of serving others both at home and around the world through missions. They are a ministering and serving church.

It would be impossible to reach these out islands on a weekly basis without the use of an airplane. God has provided Island Outreach Inc., with a Piper Cherokee Six airplane. This is a seven seat, single engine plane that we use to do the mission work.

It is our desire to serve the Lord in helping the Bahamas to not only reach out around the world, but to reach the world that God is sending to our shores.
