and we were then advised to invest in a Quickbooks program for Non-profit organizations to simplify the

bookkeeping. This new Non-profit computer program is being implimented as of January 1, 2004. We are
thankful for the services ofthe Hehmeyer Accounting and Tax Service and appreciate their input and advice. If

What is Outreach International?

Outreach International is a Missionary Motivation

Ministry designed to recruit Missionary Volunteers for

work overseas in areas that are unreached with the

Gospel of Christ or areas that are particularly diffi

cult to enter.

O.I. is a non-profit organization

founded by Al Hamilton and John O. Schofield in

1977. The primary goal of Outreach International Is
to open a new field every year, as the Lord leads.
Outreach International serves to advise and sup

port missionaries in projects God has placed on

their hearts

The operating philosophy of Outreach International

since its beginning in 1977, is based on the fact that
all mankind deserve the chance to hear about the

saving grace of Jesus Christ and that it is each

Christian's responsibility to do all we can to reach
the world with the Good News of Salvation found in
Jesus Christ. Therefore Outreach International has
acted as "starters" for those new to worldwide mis

sions and has helped start, by the grace of God,

several new missions across the world.

heart to reach the unreached with the
Gospel of Christ, but who do not know how to go about it. It is
in partnership with churches, mission agencies and willing re

this mission ministry. A1 and Annette started their missionary
work in South Africa soon after they were married. They have
also lived and worked in Puerto Rico, Uganda, and Singapore.
They have traveled to numerous other countries for survey trips
and short-term mission projects. A1 has been involved in getting
many mission agencies started, including the founding of Pio
neer Bible Translators in 1974. In 1977 A1 felt led by the Lord
to start a Missionary Motivation Ministry that focused on re
cruiting workers for the unreached fields and areas of the world
and help get people who wanted to serve the Lord in this way to

the field and give them a start in missions, and Outreach Inter
national was founded. A1 and Annette continue today as Mis
sion Consultants and International Directors for Outreach Inter

national. A1 is also the Director for the mission projects in Su

dan, and spends time working there in leadership training. All
four of A1 and Annette's children are missionaries. A1 and An

needed to enter that coimtiy and work among that people group.
In this program, a Christian student can serve for a short term
visit to do research as a 'rep' for Y.E.S. and in this way go into a
foreign country as a student on an educational research project.
The student can spend a few days to study the culture and lan

guage of a people even in 'remote' locations of the country, with

out being seen as a threat to the government or it's political posi
tion. A volunteer in the S.I.R. project will be assigned an un

reached people group. Volunteers will be asked to:

S[)end one hour each month gathering iDfonnation on

their unreached people group. (We will show you what to
look for.)

Spend one hour each month in prayer for their unreached

people group. (The infonnation you collect will guide you in
your prayers.)

Participate in advanced research (optional for each vol

unteer), by spending 2-3 weeks in the country to investi

gate an unreached people group, researching their par

ticular needs. (We will teach you what you need to know to

accomplish this.) The approximate cost for this trip is $2,500.

SEVEN YEARS!

April 17th was my seven-year anniversary of my double lung

transplant. We praise the Lord for a great doctor's visit. My
lung functions are back up to normal. I am back on a regular ex
ercise program and I feel great. Teri and I are both in great
health.

BOOKS FOR INDIA

Teri and I enjoyed our road trip in a 15-foot rented truck. We

flew to Seattle, Washington and rented a truck to haul books.
We stopped at Puget Sound Bible College and picked up about
150 boxes of books to send to India.

Jonathan S. Seu

We drove to L.A. and

picked up about 50 more boxes of books at Hope International

College and drove home here to Bedford, Texas. Teri's dad,
Mark Layman, rented a bigger truck and drove to the East coast,
where he dropped off the books after several stops at Bible Col
leges and churches to pick up the donated books. They will be
shipped to Kerala, India where P.V. Alexander will use them for
the Bible College, Nursing School, and elementary school. Praise
God for Mark Layman who organized all of that for P.V. Alexan
der and the mission in India.

Please be in prayer for her and her endeavors in this.

MEXICO

A new family joined Outreach International this month. Mike and Ann McKinney
are making plans to go to Mexico as medical missionaries. We are happy that we
can help them in this way as we work togetherfor His Kingdom.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA

Jesse and Karie Pryor have been successful in getting Outreach International regis
tered in Papua New Guinea. We are looking forward to seeing what God will do as
they build a literacy center for the Ap Ma people there. Thank the Lord for their
three-year plan proposal being approved by the government. They have been over
there setting up and getting paperwork done for quite a few weeks now. Please
keep them in your prayers as they begin this new endeavor.
OUTREACH INTERNATIONAL BOOKLET

We hope you like our new booklet we put together to help explain the work of oiu
current missionaries and projects. We thank the Lord for each of you. As you
know, we couldn't do this work and keep these people on the field overseas with
out your prayers and support. We have a couple of appointments in the near fu

ture, but would also like to come and speak at your chxirch to give you an update in

Thank you and God Bless,

Silfeia

There has been a lot going on this summer in O.I. and with us too. I spent
two weeks in June at camp, one High School week and one First Chance

week. Camps are always a fun time with the kids and a change of pace, but
most importantly it is a time to teach the kids and see changes in them as
they get closer to the Lord.
MISSIONARY UPDATES

We are happy we are able to serve the 20 or so singles and families that
serve full-time with O.I. Many people come under O.I. and then later will
go on to other mission organizations or start their own. We always encour
age this. We want to serve the missionary as needed. With that being said,
Mendall Rogers, who went to Equatorial Guinea in January, resigned from
O.I. in May and is now teaching there with a company. We also had to let
one of our local evangelists in Haiti go a couple of months back. We had
some problems with Brenus and needed to withdraw our partnership with
him. If you would like more information about these two changes, please

I have been meeting with a man, Alan Sparkman, for breakfast weekly when I am in town. We

Karen is doing great too. Praise the Lord for the gift of life. Toai and Karen
are back here in the States in Bedford Texas for furlough for about eight or
nine months. Please keep the family and the work they are involved in over

Congratulations to my other younger sister Sonja and her new hus

band Dale Hawkins. They were married November 6th in Bethel Missouri.
Karen, her family and Fran and her family from South Africa, were there
with us. It was the first time we had all been together for several years.
We all had a good time and a joyous time celebrating Dale and Sonja's mar
riage. Glad to have Dale part of the family. Dale has been a blessing and a
help with orientations for new recruits. His input will continue to be help
ful and a blessing to all involved.
There is a new couple working with Outreach International) Josh
and Susan Sanchez. Josh is the grandson of Gil Contreras. He grew up in
Mexico. Josh and Susan have been working for several months in Hondu
ras. They were involved with teaching in a school and doing preaching,
teaching, and discipllng. They have been able to leave that work with other
missionaries. They are in the pro
gress of making a move to Mex
ico. They will be on their way to
Manzanillo Mexico on December

and as they begin this new work there.

The missionary convention in Peoria IL. went very well for us. We had a great annual O.I.
board meeting and were able to get a lot of things discussed. We have had a lot of new things go
ing on this past year. Josh and Suzan Sanchez were able to attend our meeting and get intro
duced to our directors and some of our advisors. The convention also allowed us to meet several

new people and a lot of other old friends and missionaries etc. We have been blessed to be able to
help and send several new missionaries this year where the Lord is leading them in ministry,
where there is such a greater need than here in the USA.

Allen and Betty Pierce, missionaries serving in Equatorial Guinea, have a great article in
the December issue of Horizons. They have been with Outreach Intemational for several years
now and are doing a tremendous job over there. Charles Ulibarri and his family have just arrived
after fmishing their training in Cameroon, to work with Allen and Betty. Keep them all in yoxu
prayers.

We want to mention something about one of our missionaries each newsletter so you can
be better informed about the work you are a part of through prayers and/or financial support
Bill and Ann Caroline Baird along with Karen Richardson in Poitiers, France have moved into
their new church building. September 12 was their grand opening. They had 55 people in atten
dance. They continue to have great success with Bible Studies, youth programs, pulpit ministry,
and leadership conferences. The University Campus Ministry is a big part of their ministry there.

We praise the Lord for the work that the Lord is doing through them in that place. Please pray
for them, the work and also Ann Caroline as she is due to have their third child January lOlh.
Teri and I have been busier than normal, if that is possible. Sure seems to be that way
these past few months. Our health has beesn good, althougli I did have ai little surgiq^ procedure
done on my bottom lip. There was a lesion on my lower lip that ended up having early stages of

cancer cells in the biop^. The docior had to cut most ofthe red part ofmy lip off. The last part
that they cut off showed ho signs of cancer, so they are pretty sure they got it aU. ft

very weU. My lip is numb now, which is different to get used to, but no cancer, ft took awhile to
be able to eat normally again, but I am finally there. Otherwise, all is well with pur health. Thank

you for your continued prayers in that matter. Speaking of health; Please keep Karie Piyor in
Papua New Guinea in your prayers as she is recovering from her first bought of Malaria. The
work there is going ^dl.

Teri and I want to wsh you a very Merry Christmas. Hope you get this before Christmas,
but we pray that you will have a great time celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus as He was on
this earth in the flesh for a time. We have enjoyed sharing this time with some of Teri's foreign
students at the University of Texas at Arlington. We are looking forward to having all my sisters

and families with us here in Texas for Qiristmas tbo. We hope you can be with family this time
of the year. We continue to thank God for all He is doing with Outreach Intemational and all the
people involved.
May the Lord bless you and keep you eis you live for Him.
