Pastor Charlie Stevens and a board of directors established God First Teaching Ministries Inc. , a 501c(3) non-profit in 2001 with a two fold vision:

1. To preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and make disciples whenever and wherever the Lord leads.

2. To share the Hope we have in Jesus and provide a home to children who are orphans or can no longer live with their parents.

To fulfill the first part of the vision Pastor Charlie opened Church On The Go in downtown Hollister Missouri. Many people were saved, delivered, healed and baptized from 2001-2006. Pastor Charlie resigned from being Senior Pastor in 2006 so he could follow the Lord's direction and travel the world to evangelize. Charlie has now had the opportunity to share the gospel in Am.Samoa, Nuie, Tonga, Philippines, Kenya, India and most recently in Japan.

Church On The Go is now the evangelistic arm of God First Teaching Ministries Inc. Charlie plans on taking mission teams to fulfill the great commission to go and preach the gospel and to make disciples.

To fulfill the second part of God First Teaching Ministries Inc. vision, Charlie opened Hope House Children's Home in 2002 in Reeds Spring Missouri, ( just outside Branson, Missouri) The Stevens have ministered to over 160 children in their home and continue to minister at Hope House Children's Home.

Currently we have  established four Hope House Children's Homes in Kenya. In Kenya there are over 2,600,000 orphans, many living without hope.

We also established Hope House Childrens Homes in Mozambique and India. We just started supporting two similar ministries in the Philippines  We are now caring for over 200 orphans.

With the Lord's help and guidance we will establish more Hope House Children's Homes  and  provide a hope in Jesus, and comfort and care for as many orphans as we can.
