World Missions Far Corners, Inc. was founded in 1958 by the late Dr. J. Leonard Bell. When he passed away in August 2001, the work continued under the leadership of his wife, Mildred E. Bell, until the Lord took her Home in November 2006. Patricia Murdock-Cook, who joined the office staff in 1964, and who served as the ministry's Executive Secretary/Treasurer from 1973 until Mildred Bell's death, continues to move the ministry forward, as President, along with a staff of capable, dedicated workers who share the same vision for ministry as Dr. Bell. The work initially began in Old Mexico making audio visual aides for primitive people. These visual aides were used in 45 countries. Then we crop dusted the Gospel by dropping Gospels of John from low-flying airplanes. Native Evangelism began March of 1964. Today the ministry of World Missions Far Corners, Inc. is world wide, ministering in North America, South America, the Islands of the sea, Europe and Asia.

"Far Corners" is the name of the outreaches of World Missions Far Corners, Inc. that are legally organized and recognized in third-world countries as indigenous to the country. It is a faith fellowship of New Testament evangelists brought together by the Holy Spirit to present the claims of Christ, care for the suffering and establish churches according to the indigenous principles of the New Testament. (Acts 1:8)

World Missions Far Corners provides a canopy for many missionaries. This includes the handling of their finances, receipting donor gifts and mailing out their newsletters. These missionaries serve in a number of countries and are a part of the evangelism effort on five continents. Far Corners is nationalizing the work as quickly as possible. We believe it important to minister to the whole man -- body, soul and spirit. Many unique facets of evangelism are used to reach special groups of people: Chaplains ministering in U.S. penal institutions, Church planting, Day Care Centers, Film Ministries, Leper Hospital and Clinics, Literature programs, National Training Centers, Native Evangelism, Newspaper Evangelism, New Life Centers the rehabilitation of former prostitutes and their children, Rice Kitchen Ministries, River Launch Ministries, and schools for the children of Scavengers and Slum dwellers. In the U.S. and in Canada a daily radio broadcast on select stations is heard across the nation.


Dr. J. Leonard Bell
Founder

J. Leonard Bell began his missionary career over 60 years ago. What started as just one young man with conviction and call, seeking for the perfect will of God, seeking the Lord's special assignment for him, has now become one of the largest private missionary societies in all the world. Since it was just the one man on a mission, through a number of transitions and designs, there has now developed World Missions Far Corners, with ministries spread over five continents with about two thousand individuals involved directly in some form of ministry, and multiplied hundreds of thousands directly serving the Lord, and multiplied millions of individuals introduced to the Gospel.
