Word of Life World Outreach is a mission
organization dedicated and committed to spreading
the gospel of Jesus Christ through the Word of God
around the world. It was founded by Ed & Laurie
Elliott in 1984.
Ed and Laurie Elliott have been involved with world missions for
over twenty-one years, sixteen were spent living and
working in Africa. During that time they have had
the privilege of seeing over three million people
receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Working with the local pastors, they were very
instrumental in the planting of churches throughout
Southern and Central Africa. They have helped train
thousands of pastors and evangelists to do the work
of the ministry through teaching and training
conferences and seminars. Many of these conferences
and seminars were held in remote areas where the
ministers would not have otherwise had the
opportunity for training and “hands on” help.
They have organized and held some of the largest
gospel crusades ever held in Southern Africa and are
knowledgeable about the countries and challenges
facing missionaries in that part of the world.
Today, their main mission focus is Southern and
Central Africa and Asia, primarily the countries of
Vietnam and Cambodia.
For the past six years, WOLWO has been working with
the underground church in Vietnam. Through these
relationships, a trust has been established that has
been very instrumental in opening opportunities to
spread the gospel in that nation and other parts of
Asia.
WOLWO has a multi-purpose plan to help plant
churches; train pastors and a micro-economic plan to
help and assist local pastors achieve economic
freedom. Built upon previous experience and success,
WOLWO also has a proven strategy to help plant one
hundred new churches a year across Vietnam.
