…IN PRAYER God is at work near and far, at home and around the globe. Through missionaries. Through national leaders. Through projects. Through leadership development. Through church planting. Through evangelism. Through prayer we join God in his work throughout the world. Global Strategy updates prayer calendars regularly.

…IN GIVING Through the Living Link program, connect your passion, as an individual or as a congregation, directly in a relationship with a missionary through financial support. In supporting a missionary financially, you become partners in a common mission. Through the Project Link program, connect your passion by partnering financially in strategic projects around the world. At the heart of these partnerships with missionaries and indigenous leaders are local ministry projects changing lives and moving the mission of God forward.

…IN GOING Experience the work of God firsthand. Travel with us. Travel to work on projects. Travel to witness the work of God and to learn from believers near and far, strengthening the unity of the body by

your presence. Connect your passion through a Global Strategy trip. Perhaps God is calling you to connect in person for a longer period of time. Perhaps God is calling you to go for a month or six, two years or ten or twenty. Connect your passion in an interdependent crosscultural partnership. We’ll help you clarify and connect your passion and calling.

…IN RECEIVING Allow us to give back to you. Speakers are available to you through Global Strategy, whether that’s a staff member, a missionary, or missionary alumni. Their passion will challenge you and your church. Modern technology also allows us to connect you with missionaries and teams near and far.
