Missions & Outreach Ministry
at Heritage Church!

At Heritage Church, both foreign and domestic missions have always been an integral part of our purpose. From our very inception, God planted a seed for missions which many have watered… most notably Rev. Richard Grubb, without whom we would not be nearly as effective.

In a very consistent way, that seed has continued to grow in two ways.

Firstly, as an outreach to Haiti, Spain, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Camden, NJ, apostolic missions groups and other general benevolences such as women’s shelters for victims of domestic violence, care centers for terminally ill children, holiday food baskets and other needs that we are able to meet.

Secondly, we facilitate and train people to serve on life changing short-term mission trips that we organize through out the year. People learn how to respect, serve, work as a team and receive from those in other countries.
For more information on the various ministries supported by Heritage Church and with whom Heritage Church is a co-partner, please see below.

Guatemala

In 2001, we, at Heritage Church were made aware of a ministry called “Cocina del Amor”… Kitchen of Love in Guatemala City, Guatemala. I quote from their brochure:

“Every day, the number of abandoned children wandering the streets increases. On their way, they encounter starvation, perversion, drugs, prostitution and ugly vulnerabilities too numerous to mention.
For this reason, God’s heart was moved to create this ministry. At present, we provide 3 meals a day, education, medical services and biblical instruction.”

Pastor Jose’ Alverez has a mantle and a mandate to serve the poor. He and his family have established the “Kitchen of Love” ministry not only in Guatemala City, but also in other areas of Guatemala, Cuba, and Honduras.
Since 2001, we have been sending teams into Guatemala to serve Pastor Jose’ and his team. We have helped build a multipurpose complex in the mountains that will provide team housing, serve the malnourished and impoverished in one of the more remote areas of the nation. Our teams have participated in all kinds of physical labor carrying rocks, painting buildings, cooking meals, serving the children, washing dishes, packing food to be distributed to the poor, and sponsoring competitions where the local schools compete for school supplies. Our teams have participated in many church services in these locations and have witnessed many miracles and moves of the Holy Spirit.

Heritage Church began supporting Jeff, Wendy, their family of six children and their ministry to Spain in the early 90’s.
With a clear call from God, the Steen’s moved from the comfortable mid—west to the very spiritually dry country of Spain. They spent many years faithfully ministering to the people and pastors with whom they began to build relationships… often fighting the discouragement of being away from home, raising a family in a foreign country, the slow progress of building a church in a foreign country and the challenges of maintaining financial support for the ministry.
Through it all, God has seen their faithfulness and now, as the scripture says, they have been given authority over much. They continue to be able to plant churches, encourage pastors and are presently pastoring a large church in Valencia.
We at Heritage Church are privileged to be able to have co-partnered with them for so many years and look forward to a continuing relationship.

Urban Promise (Camden NJ)

Started in 1988, Urban Promise is a ministry designed to equip Camden's children and young adults with the skills necessary for academic achievement, life management, spiritual growth and Christian leadership.
Our financial support of this ministry over the years exemplifies our commitment to invest in ministries that have resources and opportunity that are different from ours, but with whom we can become a “value added” partner for the sake of the Kingdom.
Heritage Church considers it a privilege to be able to support such a fine, solid organization that is successfully working in one of the most dangerous and needy cities in America.

Haiti

Haiti was the very first foreign mission that we, as Heritage Church, took on in 1985. Rev. Richard Grubb, who was on the field in Haiti for many years, was responsible for introducing us to Pastor Carlo Thomas.
Pastor Carlo is an apostolic brother who has planted and also oversees many churches in the poorest parts of Haiti.
Through all of the monumental changes that have taken place since the overthrow of “Baby Doc” many years ago, Pastor Carlo has remained steadfast in his service to the homeland. He is often in great danger and has had to flee to safer surroundings many times.
Due to the ongoing issues of unrest and danger in the country, we have been unable to send a team in for ministry. Our hope is that it will change and we will once again be able to go and minister hope, health, and healing in Christ Jesus to those who are in the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.

Heritage Builders International

Heritage Builders International is an apostolic/prophetic ministry that was formed in 2006. Our vision is to serve and encourage leaders and churches within their God-given sphere of influence and calling.

Our purpose is to encourage people from an apostolic perspective, with biblical principles, in a practical way.

Over the years we have discovered that there are needs within the Body of Christ that are, for all intents and purposes, largely universal. The need for pastors and particularly their spouses and children to be encouraged through the challenges they face in the ministry and as a ministry family; the need for ministry marriages to be strengthened; the need for leaders to be trained and taught essential truths from different perspectives; the need for churches and leaders to be prophetically encouraged in the vision God has given them; the need for church leaders and business people to work synergistically to promote effective Kingdom building strategies that would impact nations; the need to encourage the kind of vision and faith within an individual or group that when acted upon places a demand on God to move; the need to be taught what it means to be committed to the purposes of a greater Kingdom whole.

While these needs are not exhaustive, they do point to needs within the Body of Christ that we would like to address. Our preferred method of addressing these needs is by building through relationships. It is difficult to minister to a need unless you are able to understand the need… and it is difficult to understand a need until you have sufficient, honest relational ties that allow for openness in the midst of any needful situation. Furthermore, in order to build this kind or relational tie, quality time must be prioritized and invested accordingly.

Heritage Builders Int’l. is an organization that seeks to build meaningful relational ties that provide the underpinning for greater relational synergy.

L.E.A.D.

In 2006, Heritage Church began supporting L.E.A.D. L.E.A.D. is a servant ministry of Dr.John P. Kelly to help men and women that God has called to guide and lead churches, missions, and apostolic networks. L.E.A.D. is an acronym for Leadership, Education, Apostolic and Development.

Apostle Kelly and his wife Helena have been an apostolic covering to Pastor Dion and Irene since 1980. Through the years of serving together it is evident that God has relationally joined us together for His Kingdom purpose. We are proud to be able to support and give back to those who have faithfully brought an apostolic impartation to us.
