Proclaiming The Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ

“I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.”

Luke 15:7

Worldwide Outreach is an interdenominational ministry based in Albany, Oregon. Our focus is outreach evangelism and national missions in developing countries. Worldwide Outreach (formerly Worldwide Crusades) was officially established in 1994 by pastor and evangelist William (Bill) Smith. In Africa, Central America and South America, Worldwide Outreach has seen thousands of people come to Christ and connect to local churches for discipleship and fellowship

Today Worldwide Outreach is led by Bill's son Pastor Derick Smith. Derick has a missions and video production background and has served in full time ministry with his wife Shannon for over 18 years. Derick is passionate about reaching the lost and equipping national missionaries with the tools they need to bring more people to Christ. In addition, he nurtures the vision of developing media as outreach tools that national missionaries can use to win the lost in their own countries. Derick has a desire to inspire and encourage national missions and also help equip national church leaders in effective outreach evangelism.

Worldwide Outreach has 40+ years of experience providing aid and spiritual comfort to millions. Our primary objective is to reach those who have never heard the Word of God. Please consider giving to our many ministry efforts as 100% of every dollar goes directly into these ministries.
