Missions Outreach has always been one of the priorities of Terry & Barbi Franklin and Heart for the World. Combined, they have now ministered in 34 foreign countries world-wide, reaching out to families and the unsaved.

Many of their trips have seen thousands of people responding by receiving Christ, including recent years where they saw 10,000 saved in the Philippines, 3,500 in Nicaragua, and 3,400 in Siberia! They always work with local leaders, missionaries, and churches, so local Christians can follow up on each decision and disciple new believers.

In recent years, as Terry & Barbi are able, they have begun taking teams with them. In this, they are fulfilling a burden to train and nurture ministers & artists and mission-hearted adults and young people by giving them hands-on experience. This way, they can multiply their efforts, as they desire to bring revival to all the nations of the world. They believe the whole world is on God's heart, so they are committed to reaching the whole world (John 3:16-17)!

Music has always been a highly effective tool for evangelism and inspiration for Christ. But in most recent years, Terry & Barbi have not only shared there marriage and family seminars in the United States, but they have now taken even their family training and discipleship around the world. In the last few years, they have done their seminars in not only Spanish (they've had their Spanish music CD available for several years now), but last summer, they had their seminars translated into Romanian. Although they have always learned their songs in the native language where they are ministering, the seminars have been a new missions opportunity.

Families are hurting all over the world. Many missions groups are calling the Franklins from around the globe to come to their country and help disciple families. Some leaders are overwhelmed with overcoming cultural bias that allows things like wife-abuse and authoritarianism, even in Christian homes.

Countless times, the Franklins have seen a desperate need for computers or sound equipment. They often leave equipment and other supplies, as well as send resources to churches overseas to assist missionaries and leaders in reaching out to the lost and help disciple new believers... as well as care for the poor and even many orphanages around the world. They see this as a unique opportunity to come along side those that they can get to know and see in action, some that could not otherwise get the resources they need for the job at hand.

These outreaches take much time in planning and lots of money for resources, assistance, building or stadium rental, airfares, and much more. Each missions outreach costs them at least $12,000. They would love to respond to more of these invitations, but NEED YOUR HELP to accomplish these trips. They would love to respond to invitations to return to Romania, Peru, Siberia, Ukraine, or a new invitation to Nigeria, Thailand, or the Middle East. They would like to plan another outreach for 2005. Would you consider beginning to support them NOW to make this possible so they can see another harvest of souls and more families touched?
