Vision is to see individuals, families, churches, and communities throughout the world grow deep roots in the Biblical worldview, transformed by and thriving in Christ.
Mission - to encourage, equip, and engage people in disciple-making movements around the world through…
Ministries
- Freedom in Christ Ministries exists in over 35 countries to equip the Church to bring transformation to every nation and generation with a highly effective discipleship approach and resources to making fruitful disciples who make a real difference. I promote and use this approach and these resources for discipleship movements with Freedom in Christ Ministries through the relationships, networks, and partners God has placed before us, in particular the below organizations and our partner churches.
- Global Outreach International currently has over 250 missionaries serving in over 45 countries and has a vision to pro-actively mobilize 100 well-prepared and well-cared-for new missionaries per year. We have multiple pathways for people interested in cross-cultural missions, from those who just sense a call to explore the possibility of missions to those who are certain of their call in long-term missions. I serve on the Mobilization Team, to recruit, mentor, train, and prepare people to serve in cross-cultural missions; and to provide opportunities of personal and professional development for current missionaries.
- International Friendships - international students often struggle with culture shock, stress, and loneliness when leaving their homes to study in the US. International Friendships is a national organization partnering with local churches, universities, and volunteers to provide life-changing hospitality and friendship to international students. We work strategically to make the world feel at home and extend God’s love globally — right where we are. I serve as an Associate Campus Minister, building relationships with international students, serving them in practical ways, developing Bible studies, helping to train volunteers in campus ministry, and discipling and helping to equip international students for service.
- The Freedom Boys Ministry is a discipleship movement that brings the love of Jesus to boys who live on the streets of Soroti, Uganda by advocating for them and seeking to rescue and rehabilitate them with the goal of reintegrating them back with their families and communities. Rehabilitation efforts involve addressing their spiritual, emotional, physical, educational, and vocational development and well-being. I serve as an advisor and in the area of awareness and fund raising.
- MentorMe of West Michigan hires, trains, guides, and supports Christian men and women between the ages of 20 and 70 or older to walk alongside, mentor and disciple “at-risk” youth ages 10 to 18, 2-4 hours per week each. Studies have shown that quality Christian mentorship significantly improves the emotional, behavioral, social, mental/academic, and spiritual development of youth who are at risk for falling behind and off track – for anxiety, depression, suicide, dropping out of high-school, teen pregnancies, substance abuse, and criminal activity. Our desire is to see “at-risk” youth become “at-promise” youth who love and live for Jesus. I serve on MentorMe’s Leadership Team and as a Guide to Mentors.

Henk Jan en Allie Oosterhuis dienen onder de vluchtelingengemeenschap in Athene.
De stad Athene ligt op het kruispunt tussen Azië en Europa en is één van de belangrijkste overgangspunten voor de grote getalen vluchtelingen die per boot of over land aankomen en naar Europa proberen te reizen. Hoewel de media aandacht naar andere gebieden is verschoven, komen er nog steeds duizenden vluchtelingen in Griekenland aan en komen velen vast te zitten in onzekerheid, niet wetend wat de toekomst brengt.
Henk Jan en Allie zijn gepassioneerd om levens van vluchtelingen veranderd te zien worden door Jezus. We geloven dat zowel bekendmaken als het zichtbaar maken van het evangelie belangrijk is. We zijn betrokken in het bouwen van relaties met vluchtelingen door praktische hulp, ontspannen activiteiten en gesprekken. Doelgericht organiseren we tekenlessen voor tienermeiden, Bijbelstudies en discipelschapsbijeenkomsten. Ook zijn er ontspannen activiteiten zoals spelavonden en wandelingen. Ook bieden we gastvrijheid en helpen we te netwerken en door te verwijzen.
We werken samen met stichting Helping Hands, een vluchtelingen bediening, die verschillende programma’s binnen hun basis aanbiedt zoals een theehuis, familiemaaltijden, mannen en vrouwen bedieningen, douche- en was diensten en kledinguitgifte. In al deze zaken zoeken we ernaar de liefde van Christus te delen en om mensen te begeleiden naar discipelen van Hem, zodat ook zij op hun beurt weer nieuwe discipelen kunnen maken.
