International Outreach Mission & Ministries, Inc.

THE MISSION:

International Outreach Missions and Ministry began with a street crusade in 1979. From there it blossomed to not only include street meetings but church services and bi-lingual jail and prison ministry as well.

Rev. Cruz has developed a Disciple Bible Class Curriculum for use in jails and prisons, rehabilitation programs and churches and is available to Christian workers upon request.

Rev. Cruz has also written two gospel tracts and co-authored the book: Vidas_Transformadas (Transformed_Lives) with Bishop Kittim Silva.
