Our outreach mission to Belize has concluded and I wanted to get you some exciting “UnBelizable News.” God moved mightily during our time in San Pedro. The days were long, hot, and jam-packed, but everyone on our team was blessed and used by the Lord.
UnBelizable Facts – Some of the wonderful things the Lord blessed us with while on mission:
Over 2,092 people heard the Gospel
We saw 494 public decisions
Our team was able to pray for at least 147 people (non-salvation prayers)
15 outreach events conducted (VBS, football clinic, men’s & women’s conferences, street meetings, festival)
1 wonderful golf cart parade
2 street-by-street literature & invite sessions (900+ invited to events)
475 backpacks filled with school supplies were distributed to needy children
Fun Facts
2,000 bananas were eaten by the team during their time in Belize
Over 1,050 soft drinks were devoured by the On The Go team
As I’m sure you noticed – this outreach was very exciting and fun. Serving Jesus and being on the go for Him is a blessing, especially when you see the next generation of youth and young adults taking up the mantle of evangelism and discipleship with zeal. Thank you for all your help as well.
Current Facts
Joan and I need to share something that is definitely urgent. With all the outreaches, trainings, and mentoring we do, the financial burden is, at times, overwhelming. We need to ask you to help and definitely pray for our ongoing monthly support to increase.
Since the beginning of our ministry, the Holy Spirit has moved on the hearts of many to help us do the work we have been called to do. We know you pray and that you care about our ministry of sharing the Gospel worldwide. We trust that, as the Lord leads, you also will continue to support our work.
We are also praying for you – that the Spirit would bless your witness, and continue to direct you on how to make the most impact for the Kingdom through On The Go Ministries. We also praise God for your active participation with us – not just your giving, but when you pray for us, and when you go with us in the USA and around the world.
You are definitely on our hearts and we praise the Lord for you.
May God bless you,
Keith & Joan

The most amazing thing happened to me today during my daily devotions—God brought three powerful things to my heart and mind. One was a Scripture, one was a story, and the last—was you.
The Scripture
This morning, I woke up feeling off. Restless. Uneasy. Like something was just… not right.
I didn’t even make it to the kitchen. No breakfast. No vitamins. I knew I needed to be in the Word. I needed the Holy Spirit to realign my heart and fill my spirit.
Just then, my phone buzzed with a notification. It was the daily Bible verse I get every morning. I glanced at it, half-scrolling past like I sometimes do—but today was different. I felt nudged to read further. And then, like a gentle whisper from God, this verse jumped off the screen and gripped my heart:
“For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of timidity (fear), but of power and love and discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:6-7
Something in that moment clicked. I knew God was trying to remind me—stir up the gift inside you. Don’t let it lie dormant. Don’t let fear or doubt win. Instead, live from a place of power, love, and discipline.
The Story
That verse instantly took me back to a powerful moment years ago.
I was on a mission trip in the Caribbean with about 30 teenagers. One of them was my son, Keith Jr. Days were full of ministry—training, outreach, worship, fellowship. It was a beautiful kind of chaos.
One night, after most of the group had gone off to relax, Keith Jr. walked over and quietly sat beside me. He was usually the center of energy, laughing, joking—but not that night. He had a seriousness in his eyes.
“Dad,” he said. “How do you really hear from God? And how do you study the Bible?”
I was stunned. Not because he asked—but because of the weight of the question. We ended up talking for hours. He asked deep questions, wrestled out loud with faith, and even asked me to write down everything we discussed. We opened our Bibles and studied a chapter together.
It was one of the most meaningful conversations of my life. Not because I had all the answers—but because in that moment, I got to witness a young man, my son, hunger for God.
Now You
That’s why I’m writing this. Because maybe you’ve been feeling restless too. A little spiritually off. A little disconnected.
I want to challenge you the same way God challenged me this morning—and the same way I challenged Keith Jr. years ago: kindle afresh the gift of God that’s already in you.
You don’t need to chase it down or earn it. It’s already there. But you’ve got to fan it into flame. And that starts with time in God’s Word.
The power you need, the love you want to give, the discipline to stay the course—it’s all available. But it begins when you slow down, open the Bible, and meet with God.
To help you, I’ve put together a simple guide: The On The Go Way To Study The Bible.
It’s based on the exact notes I shared with Keith Jr. that night.
If you’d like a copy—whether as an ebook, PDF, or hard copy—just let me know. My prayer is that it blesses your walk with the Lord and helps you hear His voice a little more clearly.
As we step into this new year, God is calling us beyond survival mode and into a season of thriving. Too many believers today find themselves merely reacting to the chaos around them—frustrated by circumstances, blaming pandemics and politicians, or retreating in fear. But now is the time to trust Him fully and embrace His plan for acceleration in our lives.
A Word for This Season
“But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.”
— Psalm 1:2-3
Moving Beyond Survival Mode
Living in survival mode is exhausting. It produces little fruit and often leads to a “wandering-in-the-wilderness” mentality—fearful, overreactive, and hesitant to stand boldly for biblical truth. If we’re not careful, we may retreat from God’s best and miss out on the abundant life He desires for us.
But here’s the truth based on God’s Word:
Thrive mode is always available to every believer.
Thriving begins when we delight in the Lord.
Thriving continues when we remain firmly planted in His sufficiency—not our own.
When we thrive, we become faithful to Him, useful to Him, and fruitful for Him.
A Call to Thrive
Let this be the year you step into thriving with God!
Thrive by staying rooted in Him.
Thrive by trusting His resources instead of your own.
Thrive by believing that with God, all things are possible.
And today, I believe the Holy Spirit is reminding you: He wants you to thrive—and He promises to guide your steps (and even your stops) along the way.
Closing Encouragement
Joan, our entire team across the USA, and I deeply appreciate and love you. Please keep us in your prayers as we keep you in ours.
Joan and I hope your Christmas was filled with joy, family, fun, and a meaningful celebration of our Savior’s birth!
As we turn the corner into 2025, it’s amazing to reflect on how far the world has come. If you are like us, you may remember old sci-fi movies predicting wild inventions for the future. Well, here we are – living in the midst of those once unbelievable advancements like AI and beyond! Yet, in the middle of all the changes, one thing remains constant: the timeless and powerful Good News of Jesus Christ.
In 2025, we are excited about some incredible outreach opportunities in Vietnam, Equatorial Guinea, Belize, the USA, and more. These efforts take months of planning and significant resources, but provide open doors to share the Gospel with thousands of people.
To meet the vast needs of next year’s ministry, we are trusting God to help us raise the additional resources by January 1 to completely fund these projects. Your support, whether financial or through prayer, will help bring the hope of Jesus to so many who are seeking Him. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us, now, to make this possible?
Also – If you, your family, or your church would like to get involved with one of our outreach efforts, we would love to hear from you! Give us a call and we will share more details on how you can participate.
May God richly bless you in 2025 as you continue to shine His light in the world.
On The Go Ministries – Keith Cook Team has been invited to Thailand to help area missions, churches, Christians to represent and share Christ in their culture. We are excited to be a part of this fantastic outreach effort.
We are going to help them, by providing an international team to share Christ via Music, feats of strength, proclamation evangelism, local church evangelism, leadership and evangelism training, and discipleship and followup. The local church, pastors, believers, and production team in Thailand are of one accord and heart to do the work of the evangelist with us.
Date: October 11-17, 2022

It is a wonderful time to be a believer. It also is a wonderful time to be seeking to do the Lord’s will. While those around us are often living in fear and uncertainty we know we have a mighty God working on our behalf. He has not given us “a spirit of fear” – so give the devil back all that fear. We have real power and protection in Jesus name.
We are excited about our upcomingOn The Go Festivalsin three cities in Nevada; Winnemucca, Battle Mountain, Spring Creek.
We have volunteers coming from Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi, Illinois, Iowa, and Idaho to help us share house-to-house and in the Festival. Our team has been working tirelessly over the past year and we are trusting God to do great and mighty things.
The Nashville Good News Festival we collaborated on last month was a great success. God performed a miracle, holding off the rain just long enough for us to share the Good News in sermon, song, and one on one. Joan was able to lead one young man to faith in Christ who had “NEVER” heard about Jesus. It was so precious! His joy was so real and tender.
Our Festival and School of Evangelism in Burkina Faso was well received. Our partner evangelists from Nigeria were able to get into the country and set up all the equipment and arrangements for us to live stream our training and services. It is amazing how the Holy Spirit is using technology to spread the Gospel.
We also just received final approval for a prison festival at a local Nashville prison on June 25. (in partnership with my home church).
In all we do, in genuine Christian love, we hope and pray that it will provide a proper platform so we can effectively share the Good News in Word and deed. Your prayers and God’s provision is making this happen all over the world.
At this time, you can be a real blessing to us and all of our outreaches by making a donation, as the Lord leads. We want you to be a part of all we do, in prayer, and, if possible – in person!
"But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry." 2 Timothy 4:5 NIV
