About Outward Heart
Mission: To help elevate what’s at the heart of organizations, to an outward, visible, and compelling presence.
Vision: To see organizations clearly and professionally sharing the vision God has uniquely given them—while being equipped by their constituents who understand their purpose and share in their passion.
Summary: We come alongside existing and emerging ministries to help equip them to most effectively share their purpose and passion to ultimately honor God through their unique pursuit of the Great Commission and their role within it. Branding, program development, consulting, story-telling, multi-media production, and strategic communication, are powerful tools to elevate what is at the heart of their purpose to an outward, visible, and compelling presence. Outward Heart services are made possible by tax-deductible donations from generous financial partners.
Values:
Excellence: God cares about quality and details evidenced by creation and emphasized throughout Scripture.
Stewardship: Everything we have is the Lord’s. We simply steward the resources in our lives and should be ready to give an account of how we’ve handled them.
Customization: Every ministry is unique and needs a strategy that best communicates its purpose to the world.

Dave & Alissa Wied
We currently call Wisconsin home. Like most missionaries, the word “home” is a very fluid term. Word of Grace Church commissioned us in 2013 to full-time missionary service and we remain under their spiritual covering. We serve in our local church, Christian Life Fellowship, and travel where and when ministry opportunities arise.
We are a unique blend of creative and administrative professionals who work very well as a team. Both holding BA degrees in Design and Marketing from UW-Green Bay, we bring a hands-on proficiency in various disciplines, including layout, design, photography, and writing. Dave’s work history includes being employed by Wycliffe USA in Orlando, FL, then launching an online retail business which we operated full-time for 5 years before Dave was hired as the Communications Director for a marketing firm in Grafton, WI. The Wieds then lived in Mexico for nearly five years serving with Living Hope International where Dave served as the communication director until 2020.
Entrepreneurial and ambitious, we are ready for challenges and we thrive when able to launch and grow ideas into realities.
