A volunteer advisory Board was formed in 2005 to help give guidance and carry some of the administrative responsibilities of the Ministry.  Original Members of this board included:

       John Alderman is the President of Cornerstone Environmental Resources in Dallas, Texas.  John and his wife Carleen live in Lewisville, Texas and have two grown children and five grandchildren.  John is part of Lewisville First Presbyterian Church and has played a prominent role in their Juarez outreaches since 1998. John currently serves as the vice-president of the Arrow Outreach board.            

      Brent Barry serves as the associate pastor at Northridge Presbyterian Church in Richardson, Texas.  Brent resides in Dallas with his wife Susan and two children.  His involvement with the ministry goes back to 1999.

      David Ellis lives in Van, Texas.  He is married and has three grown sons.  He owns and operates two outpatient physical therapy clinics in East Texas.  David and his wife, Vickie are members of Van United Methodist Church and have been involved in various ministries to youth over the years.  David's first involvement with the Juarez ministry was in 1998.   David now serves as the treasurer of the Arrow Outreach board.  

     Mickey Lewis lives in east Texas and is a member of Garden Valley Church.  He is employed by Coca-Cola. Mickey is married to Shelley and they have two teenage children.

      Rich Mackey is the Director of Arrow Outreach.  He is married to Cheryl and they have three sons.  Rich was in the ski resort business from 1970 to 1981.  He worked as the Mountain Manager at the Homewood Ski Resort on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, and later at the Squaw Valley Ski Resort at Lake Tahoe as the Administrator and Mountain Operations Manager.  In 1982 Rich joined the staff of Mercy Ships serving in several capacities; vice president of finance, manager of the relief and development department and as the administrator for the ministry up until 1992.  Rich was becoming increasingly involved with developing a ministry for boys and dads in Ensenada, Mexico.  This ministry moved to Juarez, Mexico by December of 1993 and over the next several years the face of the ministry grew and evolved to one focusing on youth, then to families, and even to communities.  Other churches began to work with Rich and Cheryl on outreach trips to Juarez and the building of churches, homes and even school buildings.  The Advisory Board was formed in 2005 and it was decided that this growing ministry would take on the name "Arrow Outreach".  Rich now serves as the president of the Arrow Outreach board.

         To work with the American churches to help them fulfill the calling of Christ to share themselves and their resources with hose in need.  There are over 600 scriptures mandating our involvement with the poor and those in need.  If it is that important to God, He intends for it to be a high priority to us.
