Gospel
Outreach N.W. was founded over twenty years ago by Preacher Mike
Arnold, in the Pacific N.W.
From
our humble beginnings in N.E. Washington to our current location
in Spangle, WA, the main objective has been to preach,
"Jesus Christ and Him Crucified" to a lost
and dying world. God saved and called Preacher Mike out of that
lost and dying world, and gave him a vision.
Today
that vision lives in Gospel Outreach N.W. and its family of ministries.

Christian
Crusaders Ministry
The
oldest and most visible member of our family is the Christian
Crusaders Ministry.
The
Christian Crusaders is one of the most outstanding thrusts that
God has raised up to spread the Gospel of
our Lord Jesus Christ. It's a ministry, not a motorcycle club,
even though there are many motorcycles involved.
The
team is made up of men and their families who have been delivered
from the deepest pits of sin by the power of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Some of these Crusaders are businessmen, former
drug addicts, ex-alcoholics, ex-convicts, and ex-outlaw bikers.
They are believers of Jesus Christ and His Gospel, who have the
"Good News of Jesus Christ", their Lord, as well as
the joy of serving Him.
The
powerful preaching and compassionate concern and testimony to
the lost makes this dynamic "Team" effective and successful,
winning lost souls
to faith in God through Jesus Christ, giving them a joyful purpose
in life itself. Also directs many youth who were heading the wrong
direction, towards Christ.
This
ministry reaches into schools, colleges, hospitals, juvenile halls,
jails, prisons, cafes, taverns, youth camps, communes, skid row,
to everyday Joe whose lives
have become a drag; to churches of all denominations, all ethnic
groups, and business groups. In other words, we travel where the
Holy Spirit leads us to go and we
do it prayerfully. In doing so, Jesus Christ is lifted up, the
lost are saved, families are united with love, and souls are added
to the Kingdom. Because of which,
communities see men, women and children suddenly change and take
up a new life that glorifies God and the local churches are added
to.
The
men and their families who make up this one ministry of Gospel
Outreach N.W. are sold out to Jesus Christ, sold out to the bone.

Mission
Statement
To
preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified that breaks
the chains of bondage and brings the positive direction of life
as the Spirit of God leads us.
To minister to the needs of the household of faith first.
To minister to the needs of those God sends us.
To reach out to the lost, where they are.
To glorify the Father by lifting up the Son, Jesus Christ, who
breaks the chains of bondage.
The ministry is made up of Christian Crusaders who are being trained
for or have already become licensed ministers, preachers of the
Gospel of Jesus.
There are several Support Team Members who are in training also
to become servants of Christ and to train towards becoming Crusaders.
These men (most of whom are married) and their spouses serve in
5 countries by having jail and street ministries, facilitate
Bible studies, ministering to the needy, discipline and mentoring
young Christians, feeding the hungry, and helping the poor.
The
ministry teams attend bike rallies, motorcycle swap meets, and
rodeos where they minister one on one, presenting the love of
Jesus. They also go to
the annual Sturgis, S.D. Bike Rally where they set up Jericho
Camp and have services twice daily. They provide breakfast and
dinner, take care of the street kids and
"guests" brought to them by the local officers of the
law (rather than have them sent to jail), and help anyone they
can who comes to them in need. Being committed to
delivering the message of life in Christ to a lost and dying world,
the Gospel Outreach ministries travel the highways and byways
presenting Jesus to all who will listen.

Ministry.
