A Heart for the World

Global Outreach is a priority for our church. In 2003, we launched and hosted our first G3 (Global Glory of God) Conference and continue to do so yearly. The vision of G3 is to bring pastors/leaders from every country together to encourage, train and equip them to reach the unengaged and unreached people groups in their nation. To date, our church has trained 412 pastors/leaders from 109 countries.

"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

Matthew 28:19-20

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts 1:8

How Can I Make a Difference?

1. PRAY

We strongly believe in the power of prayer. It's something we can all do to help truly make a difference!

"Jesus we thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, whose gospel has transformed countless lives. We seek Your guidance and blessings to share His message of grace and salvation to the ends of the earth. We pray for missionaries and messengers who courageously proclaim Your love in distant lands. Grant them strength, wisdom, and protection as they carry Your word to unreached communities. Softly touch the hearts of those who have yet to hear Jesus' good news. Open their minds and draw them close to You. Let Your Holy Spirit move mightily, bringing hope and transformation. Lord, use us as instruments of change and ambassadors of Your kingdom wherever we are. Fill our actions with love and compassion, reflecting the grace and truth found in Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

2. INVEST

There are plenty of ways to partner with our global outreach ministry financially such as investing in our G3 Conference/G3 partners, donating to send people on mission trips, purchasing water, bibles, disaster relief supplies and more!

Here are some of the current Difference Maker initiatives:

Invest in our G3 Conference/G3 partners
Ukraine: Equipping churches to share the love of Jesus in Ukraine
G3 (Global Glory of God) Conference: Host Pastors from Egypt, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Africa, Tanzania + Ukraine
4G3: Emboldening displaced + persecuted Christians in the Middle East to stand firm in their faith

3. GO

Isaiah's Commission from the Lord: And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” -Isaiah 6:8

The church is global, made up of believers of all nations. Jesus calls us to gather to pray, study the Bible, build community and worship. The church is called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, providing hope to a broken world.

"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” - Matthew 28:19-20
