David and Chris Cole started Oak Tree Church in Kansas City, Missouri, 2.5 years ago. Mr. Cole shares that his church’s community is an area of great lostness. Over 20,000 people live within a 3-mile radius of the church, and more than 91% of these people are unchurched. Oak Tree is very focused on missions, and the Cole family leads the way in doing whatever it takes to reach everyone at every level in their community.
Mr. Cole says, “What I love most about what I do is seeing lives and families transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Mr. and Mrs. Cole do much more than teach about missions. They intentionally seek out opportunities for sharing the love of God with others. The Cole family demonstrates that missions is not just something you do in your spare time. They live out a holistic missional lifestyle. You could say that missions is written into the DNA of their family.
