Welcome to Otterness Missions. We are personally blessed that you have stopped by our website. This is the ministry efforts of me and my wife, Julia, through the various organizations and ministries we help facilitate. We simply call it “Otterness Missions” because God called each of us by name to come into His Kingdom and gave each of us giftings to use for advancing that kingdom.
At Otterness Missions we hope you will be encouraged to go out as yourself and use your giftings personally or for your organization, ministry or business to do evangelism in a relevant way. We offer evangelistic outreach consultations with other resources to guide you along the way.

About Us
Bill & Julia Otterness have a combined 33 years experience in missions from different backgrounds serving a common goal to share the gospel of Jesus. Julia brings a degree from the Art Institute of Colorado and Bill has one in business and another in electronic technologies. Partnering with missions organizations, churches and ministries crossing all denominational lines, they make up the ministry efforts of Otterness Missions. Some of those efforts involve Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Discipleship and Prayer.
Partner with Us
We are full-time missionaries serving under the L3 International organization. No one receives a salary from the organization so Julia and I have created partnerships with friends, family and churches. These personal partners contribute to us financially on a regular basis. This allows us to commit all of our time and resources to reaching communities with the Hope and Love of JESUS. Partner with us and become a part of our ministry.
Events and Outreach
Otterness Missions works with churches, ministries, businesses, civics and YOU. Much of what we do is in the Kansas City area when we are not traveling. We would love to have you at all of our events and outreaches so consider yourself invited. We serve in a wide range of outreach platforms that suit many different demographics. Maybe you have thought about being involved with missions. Well you don’t necessarily need to buy a plane ticket, just click the Outreach button and pray about how you can be involved with one of these events. If you don’t see one in your area then contact me and we can work on getting that set up anywhere in the USA, or even the world
