Strategic church
In 2007, we began a partnership with Global Focus, where we can help people identify their unique giftedness, encourage them to identify how to use their gifts to build up the body of Christ and make an impact...whether it is across the street or around the world.
Our GO Partners (missionaries) have been mobilized to focus on the following Acts 1:8 geographic distinctions:
- Jerusalem - Dayton, OH and surrounding areas
- Judea/Samaria - Ohio and the United States
- Ends of the Earth - the rest of the world
Open Initiative Project
ABWE
The Open Initiative is ABWE’s effort to reach unreached people groups in restricted countries by planting churches and sending missionary teams. Its goal is to reignite a missionary vision in local churches and remove barriers to serving in hard-to-reach places.
We serve as an anchor church for teams working among residents of Japan’s Kanto region (Tokyo and surrounding areas) in partnership with ABWE. Through our annual Gifts to Christ campaign, WHBC has committed $20,000 per year for 3–5 years to support this work. We invite our church family to pray, give, and go as God raises up workers to reach the unreached people of Tokyo.

Global Impact Celebration
GIC
We want our GO Partners to have a phenomenal weekend, full of rich fellowship, dynamic ministry, and refreshing conversations. We continually adjust the schedule to maximize the impact of GIC on our GO Partners so that they feel loved and cared for by the WHBC family. Secondly, we want to focus on the people of WHBC who will attend the conference. We pray that through GIC hearts will be touched by God and will respond to a call to full time ministry, whether in missions or local ministry.
