The Antioch Partners
A strategic alliance of PFF and The
Outreach Foundation
Strategic Alliance for Missionary Sending Now
Operational
Posted 8-8-07
Last summer, Presbyterian
Frontier Fellowship and The Outreach Foundation joined in a strategic alliance
for the purpose of sending missionaries. This step of faith set in motion
months of prayer, planning and preparations. We are pleased to announce this
strategic alliance, now called The Antioch Partners, has begun operating.
The missionaries now
serving with The Antioch Partners are:
The Haugen Family: The Haugens are serving in
Bolivia. They are working among the Quechua (the largest
unreached
people group in the Western Hemisphere) and partnering with a local Quechua
fellowship. The focus of their ministry
is evangelism, church planting, leadership development, and community
development.
Eric Miller: Eric is based in Nairobi, Kenya,
though he is serving the broader church in Africa, as well as in parts of Asia.
Eric’s focus is leadership development and teaching Bible study methods.
TAP is partnering with the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship in facilitating Eric’s ministry.
The Antioch Partners
continues to be a ministry of The Outreach Foundation and Presbyterian Frontier
Fellowship under the direction of their boards. In keeping with the covenants
that these organizations have with the PC(USA), TAP will work collaboratively
with the denominational mission structure (World Mission). Our desire is to
expand opportunities for Presbyterians to participate in what God is doing
around the world. TAP is committed to minimizing its own organizational
structure, so as to maximize kingdom resources, and we will seek to work
synergistically with congregations and other mission organizations, out-sourcing
and creating new partnerships as appropriate.
If you are interested in
learning more about The Antioch Partners, or would like to know more about how
TAP can serve your congregation, please visit our website (www.theantiochpartners.org),

space for TAP, so you can reach Andrew and Teri by phone at 713-490-9571.
