MISSION & OUTREACH

Love and Action

At COTHA we believe that MISSION and OUTREACH are the active sharing of the message of hope in Jesus Christ to a broken and dying world. This is an extremely important Gospel imperative, and it is best evidenced through our love in action, reaching out to help our neighbors, and sharing our resources with the entire community from the local Katy area to the far reaches of the world.

International Trips and Support

​Uganda

Since 2010, COTHA has ministered in Africa by hosting conferences, distributing mosquito nets, and providing villages with much-needed medicine and medical attention. Due to the COVID pandemic, we were not able to travel in 2020 or 2021 but still supported both the medical and mosquito net distribution efforts. 

Guatemala

Since 2010, COTHA has been sending teams to Guatemala, in partnership with Living Water, to participate in drilling a water well and sharing the Good News with the villagers. Due to the COVID pandemic, we have not been able to travel since 2020, but still supported the drilling of two water wells.

The Fox Family

The Fox Family serves with Engaging the Adventure and is currently stationed in Thailand.   Their mission is to help train other missioners in Asia where Christianity is often dangerous and illegal.
