HUG ME MINISTRY!
OutCast Nation is a Ministry, that's main focus is to reach the world with the love and passion of Jesus Christ.
We are people hungry to see God manifest his presence and make himself real to the world.
We feel we have a special and different calling to reach the unreachable. Our name is an important part of that calling.. Webster Dictionary says "outcast" is one that is cast out or refused acceptance (as by society). Many people have felt ostracized or cast off by the traditional church, because they weren't (so call) normal.
I got this from Church of the Living Dead website, but feels it is exactly what we want to do in the Atlanta Area.
Vision Statement
God has called us to the outcasts and the un-reached. We aim to reach the underground/subcultures and those who feel they don't fit in anywhere.
We believe God wants to mightily use everyone including the people who have been made to feel useless to change the world for His glory. We are servants of Jesus Christ who love the "unlovely" and want to see the greatness and destiny of God within brought out through the power of His Spirit.
The world may see desolate dry ground but we see flowers ready and waiting to come forth.
To give hope to those who have lost it, awaken those who have drifted to sleep and bring Jesus to those who the world and some in the Church may consider nothing.
God desires to tell each one that they are His everything.
To raise spiritual leaders inspiriting them to live a life of destiny and purpose who will in turn raise others inspiring and bringing forth destinies around the world.
But most important to us, is that being people of faith does not mean we are better than anyone else. We are so aware of our need and desperation for God, as OutCast of the Earth. Fortunately, God never sees us like that!
My husband Johnny and I are the leaders of Outcast Nation., a different kind of ministry in Georgia (southeast Atlanta).
We believe it is important to be yourself, no masks, no facades, just being real. We try to genuinely portray ourselves as not having it all together and just like everyone else struggling along in our faith. Everyone Christians and non-Christians, rich or poor, black or white feel equally comfortable in our meetings. From the top to the bottom we recognize that we all equally need God’s help. We look different, because we choose to express our God given uniqueness.
Not all outcast people are homeless, drug addicts or scruffy, but they do have unmet needs, unhealed hurts, needs that they can’t meet on their own. The reality is that we ALL have needs/hurts that cannot be met or healed on our own.
We are totally and utterly dependant upon Jesus to provide every physical, emotional and spiritual need.
The army that God is raising up may not look like what we think. In fact the people God is raising up to serve Him may look something like what Micah described:
Micah 4:6, 7 “In that day,†says the Lord, “I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast And those whom I have afflicted; I will make the lame a remnant, And the outcast a strong nation;
The people who seem like a mess: disorganized, unsuccessful and broken down, these are the people we need on our team as we serve God together.
Why withhold our approval, our acceptance and our love? Are there really second class Christians? Do we need to wait until people clean up their act and say all the right things before we can validate their worth? Everyone needs to validated to know they are worth something and they were born for a purpose.
