Guyanese Outreach - Ruth Singh
GO operates two different community outreach programs. Immediate relief from poverty and systematic elimination of the underlining causes of poverty.
GO believes that if a man is hungry he should be fed but also, that if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Ruth and her sons knew they were not only going to bring the Gospel, but also to teach the people how to "fish".
Starting in 1994 and every year thereafter, GO has sent humanitarian aid to Guyana. Individual distributions have consisted of clothing, toys, schoolbooks and supplies. Community aid has consisted of medical examining tables, electric beds, dental chairs, wheel chairs, EKG machines, infant warmers and an infant incubator. GO has also sent educational aid such as computers, printers, books, typewriters, sewing machines and sewing materials. GO also partnered with the St. Paul Rotary to provide a portable water supply to the upper bluff of Orealla.
Since 1998 GO has sent several teams to Guyana to evangelize, teach computer skills, sewing skills, distribute humanitarian aid and share the love of Jesus with the people of Guyana.

street level ministries
Over 2 decades ago, evangelist Scott Coulson shared at the Billy Graham Association about his ministry experiences over the years. Afterwards, a young man asked for help sharing his faith. Soon, one more person joined. These three went to the streets, had a wildly fruitful night, and agreed to do it again the next week. And the next. A ministry was soon born, and we began our weekly practice of sharing the gospel of Christ with the lost. Since then, God has been helping us to grow in our evangelism, training, partnerships, and leadership development.
Over the years, we have trained thousands of Christians to share their faith and equipped dozens to teach evangelism to others. Considered by some to be the “father of evangelism in Minneapolis,” we partner with many churches and ministries in the Twin Cities and beyond, and that number continues to grow. We look forward to what God has for us in the future.
