About us

Outreach UK

Outreach UK came into existence in 1874 as ‘The Christian Colportage Association’. (‘CCA’ as it became known)

In the 1940’s, Spurgeon’s Colportage was incorporated into ‘CCA’. In the 1970’s CCA’s name was changed to Home Evangelism – before being updated in 2006 to Outreach UK (OUK).

OUK is a network of 80 or so evangelists across the UK, each one passionate to share the good news of Jesus. The vast majority are either retired or working other full-time jobs alongside their evangelism.

Our evangelists employ a variety of means to reach people and communicate the Gospel – book tables, coffee mornings, men’s breakfasts, door by door visitation, street preaching, Alpha or Christianity Explored courses, quiz nites, one to one Bible studies…and more.

OUK evangelists work alongside local churches. There are many around our church buildings who have never understood the gospel message. It is our privilege to share it with them and in so doing, fulfil Jesus’ command to His Church – to ‘GO’ with the Gospel.

Outreach UK has developed an evangelism training programme called “Casting Your Nets”. The programme is delivered to churches and organisations and aims to increase opportunity, and confidence is speaking about Jesus in ordinary life situations.

We want to be fuelled by prayer and used to bring more workers into God’s harvest field and more souls in God’s kingdom!

OUK is supported financially through generous, voluntary giving through Christians and churches.
