Thanks for stopping in at the Outreach Page! Let’s get right to the point: How comfortable are you talking about Jesus with non-believers? How active are you in reaching out to others in service and kindness in God’s strength and love - and for His purposes?
Whether you are a missionary in the 10/40 window (click here to learn about this) or living here in the Midwest, sharing our faith in Jesus Christ in word and deed MUST be a part of our daily rhythm and lifestyle.
WHY? We want more humans in God’s family worshipping our King Jesus! We also want all of humanity to hear the declaration of the gospel (the good news of Jesus). The gospel brings reconciliation, healing, justification, freedom, hope, peace, love (this list can go on for a while). We can ALL agree the entire world needs these effects of the Gospel in mass doses!!
In the world today there are over 7,000 unreached people groups. That is over 7,000 people groups that have no ACCESS to the gospel!
Click here to watch this two minute video regarding the unreached. Click here for great resources that will give you free, immediate access to un-reached people groups for whom you can pray each day.

LOCAL OUTREACH
BAGGIN' THE BASICS
Baggin’ the Basics events are held to collect, purchase, and distribute toiletry and household items to families in need.
HOMEGROWN BLESSINGS
Homegrown Blessings is a ministry that collects and distributes fresh vegetables and fruits in the summer and fall seasons. This past year we were able to pray with many of the families that visited us at Hill every other Saturday afternoon!
SUMMER TOTES
Summer Totes is a ministry that raises funds to purchase items to pack in totes and distribute to school aged kids in need right before they are dismissed for summer break.
PRISON MINISTRY
Our local prison allows background checked volunteers to participate in Bible Study and Worship nights. We get to assist, encourage, support the men primarily on Monday nights for their worship service, by teaching, leading worship, or just being a part of the congregation. If you are interested in checking it out, contact Chaplain York and he will collect the info he needs to get you approved and on the list: Justin.York@illinois.gov
SAFE FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN
Safe Families for Children is a non-profit that helps children in crisis by hosting kids in need for short amounts of time, providing respite for families in need of extra support. The goal is to provide support for the entire family, preventing children from going into the foster care system. We would encourage you to check them out: Safe Families for Children.
GLOBAL OUTREACH
We support six outreach families that live amongst unreached people groups. Most are currently living in the 10/40 Window. Please click Joshua Project to learn about what the 10/40 Window is! If you would like to get connected to these families by receiving their newsletters or donate financially to them, please contact Bobi Throneburg at outreach@hillchurchfamily.org.
Click here: Unreached of the Day to find out how to pray for unreached people groups.
Hill Church sends a team about every year to visit one of the families on the field, so please keep your eyes and ears open for those opportunities! In the past we have traveled to Oman, Dubai, Israel, and Jordan.
Hill also has a connection with an orphanage in Montrouis, Haiti called Canaan Christian Community. We haven’t been able to visit them for a couple of years due to the unrest in the country but pray for this special group of people and try to help them out from a distance.

QUESTIONS WORTH PONDERING
- Do you listen to others to learn their story before telling them about your faith?
- In recent years, have you influenced multiple people to consider following Christ?
- Do you regularly choose to have meals with people with different faith or morals from you?
- Do you try to discover the needs of non-Christians rather than waiting for them to come to you?
- Do you spend time with non-believers to help them follow Jesus?
