In response to the Lord's commission, Brother Bob's Outreach (BBO) is a pioneering and innovative Christian prison ministry whose staff and volunteers have numbered in the hundreds during its years of service in Wisconsin. While an independent Bible teaching ministry, it has involved churches and Christ-centered denominations across Wisconsin and the Milwaukee area and has been increasingly doing so since the mid 80's. It expanded to the Philippines in September of 2002.

BBO's focus remains on lovingly teaching the uncompromising Word of God in an eclectic setting, both secular and church denominational that stretches on a continuum from non-believers and sects to the more traditionally accepted cross-section of main-line denominations—both new world and old—all while trusting in the power of God's Word and his Spirit.
 

The primary ministry vehicle is Bible teaching accomplished in on-site interactive Bible Study settings, with special occasion worship services (when allowed) and some one-on-one mentoring when specific needs apply. A Wisconsin spin-off sports ministry, inmate correspondence and prayer support involving groups and individuals are all designed to actively attract both regular and "non-prison attending" volunteers.

The Philippine agenda is much more centrally focused on the teaching of basic Christianity in the face of old world religions, superstitions and traditions.

Our Faith Promise support to BBO is divided between the Wisconsin and Philippine outreaches.

Supplementary programs, derived out of donations apart from any budgetary agenda, meet inmate (and occasionally their families) needs for food, clothing, bedding and over-the-counter medications which have been added since BBO's expansion into the Orient. Filipino supplemental efforts include attention to the locally poor and needy, primarily in the way of food and now some used clothing. That part of the Philippine effort has been funded primarily from caring individuals—most of whom are members of our church (through donations marked Brother Bob Benevolent Fund).
