The ministry grew out of a need to obey Luke 14:24,
"And the Master said to the servant go to the highway and along the hedges and compel them to come in that my house may be filled."

Our family along with some friends would go to area parks with a kareoke machine. We would have the children sing until a crowd would come. After that, we would share testimonies and then the gospel of Jesus. Many would repent of their sins and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. At that time, there was no plan in place for follow up or discipleship. The Lord began to give us clear vision and direction on how to set up an effective outreach. We purchased a mobile stage; better known as 'The Church On Wheels'. We began to partner with Pastors and churches. Before an outreach, we will meet with the Pastor and congregation of the sponsoring church for evangelism training and an orientation. The church will canvass their neighborhood with flyers announcing the event to the surrounding community. After the outreach, the church will be responsible for follow-up and discipleship of those who come to the Lord as a result of the outreach.

We began the promotional outreaches in order to 'compel' more people to come out and be part of the outreaches, to meet some real needs in the community and to show the love of Jesus through the giving of the Saints.

The promotional outreaches each have a theme, such as:

The Easter Outreach
This outreach would consist of giving food baskets with a ham along with Easter baskets for the children.

The Back to School Outreach
Backpacks are given away, filled with school supplies.

The Thanksgiving Outreach
Food baskets are given away complete with a turkey

The Christmas Outreach
Hats, scarves, gloves, mittens and toys are given.

Refreshments, such as hot dogs, popcorn and lemonade are served at all of the spring and summer outreaches. Hot drinks, such as hot chocolate and apple cider are served along with cookies at the winter outreaches.

JohnRoss Ministries has roughly 30 trained volunteer (staff) missionaries but more are still needed to effectively set up for each outreach, work as altar workers, prayer counselors, servers to the community and workers to break down equipment after each outreach is completed.

The new Church On Wheels if we can count on our supporters to assist us in acquiring $90,000 for purchase and delivery.
