What is
Leave the FOB?
Founded by veterans who understand both the reality of battle and the need for refuge, Leave the FOB is a ministry that calls believers to step beyond the safety of their comfort zones and meet people where the battles of life are being fought. In the military, a Forward Operating Base (FOB) is a place of safety and rest, but the real mission happens outside its walls.
Likewise, we believe Christians are called to ‘Leave The FOB’ going out into the world to feed the hungry, bring healing to the hurting, and share the hope of Jesus Christ with those in the field. Guided by our mission “To Feed, To Shelter, To Heal,” we seek to follow Christ’s example of leaving comfort behind to rescue and restore the lost.
