Orchard Missions

Jason Geick graduated from Wheaton College in 2012 then moved out to San Diego where he quickly began volunteering for Cru High School. Seeing the great impact of working with high school students and the difference Jesus makes in their lives, he joined full-time staff in 2013. He is working in San Diego to see the lives of high school students changed by the power of Jesus Christ.

After 2 years as a field staff member, Jason stepped into the leadership role of City Director for Cru High School in San Diego. He is leading the staff team to reach every student in San Diego with the gospel of Jesus Christ. He wants to see students' lives changed, in the same way his was changed, through the love of faithful people who cared enough to reach out to him. Please support him in the mission to see high school students' lives changed for eternity.

Serving with Independent Faith Mission since 1984, from Quebec to France.

After 30 years dedicated to church revitalization and the training of nationals in the Province of Québec, Canada, God sent Mike and Melanie Webster to France in 2016 to continue with the same emphasis. Now ministering in Rouen, Normandy, France they are training leaders in the local church to have a solid Biblical base for continued growth and to reach out to the community around them.  A second thrust of their ministry is teaching in a French Bible Institute.

The French government is currently considering a law that would restrict the freedom of worship in France and add a serious administrative burden on local churches.  Please pray for God’s strength and wisdom during this time, and for the local church to be solidly anchored in God’s Word.

In 2013, Matt went to Malawi, Africa with his Bible in one hand and his camera in the other. Malawi is a small, land-locked country in the south/central part of Africa -- the poorest country in the world.  After seeing so much spiritual darkness and a need for God’s light, Matt felt the Lord leading him to establish a Bible College for the training up and sending out of native pastors and missionaries.

Matt provides a two-pronged approach to education: 1) an intense, book-by-book, through-the-Bible training, and 2) hands-on experience by reaching out to the community with evangelism, worship, and prayer.  By the time the students graduate, they are well-equipped to take God's Word into the darkest parts of this country and establish their own indigenous communities of believers.

Each year the school has about 7 students.  Please pray for them! There are many obstacles and challenges facing the spread of the Gospel in Malawi.

Every morning during prayer time around the table the students thank God for the Orchard family. They are so grateful for your prayers and support which make it possible for them to learn the Bible and then go out into the streets and preach it.

Due to a corrupt government and a bad economy, Romania has been left with thousands of abandoned children living in government institutions. Living in these government institutions has left these children unloved and neglected, in need of medical, educational, and spiritual development.

Throughout the Scriptures we see God’s concern for the poor, widows, and orphans. As an organization based on Biblical principles, H2H is committed to caring for the physical and emotional needs of poor and abandoned children as we share the gospel of Jesus Christ.

H2H ministers in a number of ways to abandoned and orphaned children in the state operated orphanages. H2H also cares for abandoned infants and toddlers, provides education for school-aged children, and mentors and disciples older teens who have been institutionalized throughout their childhood.

For 60 years the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary in Beirut, Lebanon has been training Christian leaders from many countries in the Middle East and North Africa. It’s unique location allows it to enroll Arab students who are followers of Christ from a non-Christian background.  ABTS is mindful of the need to minister across political borders in ways that remain attentive to the localized realities within borders. Their training is focused on equipping men and women to return to their home countries as Biblically sound, Godly leaders.

Sharing Christ through youth sports…  Russ Douglass is our local rep for FCA and serves our city of Escondido and Valley Center on many of the middle and high school campuses through sport camps and leagues.  FCA seeks to see the world transformed for Jesus through the influence of coaches and athletes.  They desire to see every coach and athlete enter into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. This is done through both evangelism and discipleship -- engaging, equipping and empowering coaches and athletes to grow in Christ and lead others to do the same.
