Nearly 40% of the world has never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our heart is to send missionaries to those who have yet to hear this Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

It is our mission as part of the Body of Christ to help fellow ministries worldwide. Therefore, we strive to do our part to equip indigenous leaders around the world.

Through our program, we support the vision of our missionaries to impact their local communities and fulfill the call that God has placed on each of their lives.
train missionaries
Our missionaries through faithful discipleship accomplish things that they never could on their own. That is why we are committed to their success and development.

Charles Spurgeon
What are some things you can expect on a mission trip?
The trip before the trip
Trusting God for financial provision, allowing Him to spiritually prepare you to be effective on your trip, & cultivating a team chemistry and dynamic with your mission group is the first “trip” you must prepare for.
Experiencing New Cultures
Encountering new and beautiful people groups and their way of living. Learning to walk with them and experience their day to day lives. Gaining a new perspective and broadening your worldview.
Witnessing the Heart of God
bringing home passion
Growing in the knowledge of how the Spirit of God moves in different cultures, being encouraged by how diverse and lavish His love is for all mankind, and seeing how deep the heart of the Father goes for people across the Globe.
Carrying new spiritual growth, a broader worldview, and a deeper knowledge of the heart of God home with you. Allowing your new zeal to empower you to walk out the call of God on your life.

Spiritual & Emotional Support
Our missionaries experience a wild variety of challenges and trials that can take a toll on their mental and spiritual health. Developing a loving friendship with a missionary or mission trip volunteer has a major impact on their well-being. With this, you can find ways to care for them such as covering them in prayer and being a friend when they need it most.
Providing supplies
Another way to support is to provide necessary and desired supplies for certain trips, as needed. Through Life Church, GCI holds many fundraisers/programs where people can donate supplies such as clothes, canned food, and other non-perishable items. To stay up to date on when these events occur, visit the Life Church website for current events or follow their socials.
Advocate & spread the word
If there is anything we understand the value of, it is the power of word of mouth. Whether or not you can support financially, emotionally, or spiritually, it costs nothing to tell others about our mission and to share the Gospel with them right where you are. Sometimes, the best support is to simply be an advocate and share what we are doing with others who you believe may be interested or willing to support.
