Who We Are
We are in love with our Creator, we are entranced by who He is, and how His love can reform and redeem a life. We founded our organization as Outpour Movement (now known as Outpour) in the belief that God was calling us to form community, safety, family, livelihoods and discipleship, through the empowerment of locals, refugees, and foreign volunteers in His image.
We are the Ward family, dad Ray, mom Candace along with our daughters Maile and Teanna. Our family has been living in Thailand mostly along the Myanmar border since 2005. Our adventures have been many. We have loved this country with our whole hearts and also had our hearts broken by the brokenness we see around us. We as a family have personally witnessed and participated in the salvation of thousands of souls, given a Christ centered education, as well as rescue and safety to children who have lived in “Refuge” our children’s home, and participated in many hundreds of relief, and educational training efforts in Thailand and Myanmar. We love that our story has brought us into the lives of so many who we have been blessed to walk with for many years. Our staff and ministry partners have become family in the truest sense. We believe that a powerful revival of the gospel will continually sweep across Southeast Asia through the faith and bravery of indigenous ministers.

Who We Serve
Outpour exists to empower Kingdom bringers, both foreign and domestic, by facilitating synergy and connection between a variety of programs, projects and initiatives.
We do this by focusing our efforts on a variety of ministries such as: training in specialized job skills and English language, running a family-style home for young refugees, working to amend legal status of stateless abandoned children, and hosting ministers from Myanmar who are preparing to plant churches in unreached areas.
Our particular areas of focus are the guidance of the ministry as a whole, the care of our kids at “Refuge Children’s Home” and the church planting movement of launching indigenous ministers in Myanmar.
