Outreach

Every year since our founding, White Stone Family Bible Church has given away at least 10% of its receipts to support the spread of the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth. Primarily, that is through regular support of a full-time vocational missionary family, Mike and Michelle Griffis (see below). In addition, we provide monthly support for the ministries of Desiring God, Church and Family Life, and Blue Letter Bible to assist them in providing Bible-based resources for the global church. The church has also worked to relieve suffering through local and international organizations like Samaritan's Purse and held Bible drives for persecuted Christians through Open Doors International. And from time-to-time, as funds permit, we also support the ministry of Worldview Academy.

Mike & michelle Griffis

Mike and Michelle first spent 13 years in church planting in unreached language groups in Venezuela and Papua New Guinea, followed by 6 years in a missions leadership role based from a local church in Texas. They subsequently moved to Mexico, where Mike worked as a lead instructor in a cross-cultural training program for over 2 years. Now Mike serves from Arkansas as the Director of Missions and Cross-Cultural Training for another cross-cultural equipping program. Additionally, Mike operates as an International Director for Global Serve International, supporting GSI cross-cultural church planting teams by providing leadership, consulting, travel, and pastoral care. Mike and Michelle have four children: Jesse, Ian, Liam, and Tahlia. White Stone has supported the work of Mike and Michelle Griffis since 2007.
