Alex is the Director of Outreach at Bibles for the World, headquartered in Colorado Springs. Bibles For The World’s mission is to be “a catalyst for individual and cultural transformation through Christ and the power of God’s Word.” This means sharing the Good News of God’s love in Christ Jesus by ministering to unreached peoples and the Church and Christian leaders in developing nations. Since unreached peoples are primarily oral learners, Alex’s primary role at BFTW is to use an oral, inductive Bible study method called Simply the Story (STS) to teach and train them. He has trained nationals in Central and South America, Asia, and Europe. The goal is multiplication, not merely addition, which means endeavoring to train nationals to train other nationals.

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.  We at GCC participate each year by providing shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, which for many kids, is their first gift ever and gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.

In addition to purchasing items and packing shoeboxes to collect at the church, we at GCC also get to volunteer locally at the Operation Christmas Child Packing center where all the collected boxes from all the churches and individuals in the area are inspected and packed up to be shipped around the world to kids in need.  Contact Elbie Ancona for more information or more ways you might help with this ministry at GCC.
