Global Outreach Foundation

Our ultimate goal is to see a thriving and expanding body of Christian believers in all nations. We believe that the Church can be alive and well in every situation, self-sustaining, and led by indigenous pastors and leaders.

Our goals are to 1) strengthen church leadership to properly support the work of the Church, 2) establish new churches in areas where none exist, 3) disciple individual believers in the Bible and Christian character, 4) assist marginalized youth through orphan and/or tuition assistance, and 5) meeting the physical needs of populations as demonstration of Christ's love for them.

Our main strategy for evangelism, discipleship, training, education of youth and humanitarian services all stems from building relationships with native pastors. We believe the local church is the most powerful structure for the Christian believer, therefore the local church must be empowered to fulfill its calling in its community.

We also collaborate with similar nonprofit organizations who often provide supplemental services and personnel to help us reach our goals. These collaborative partnerships further the resources of each organization and help further expand relationships home and abroad.

As we succeed in empowering the local church and individual believers, we will in essence work ourselves out of a job in each area because the local church and its members will be equipped to do the work of evangelism, discipleship, and community service.

GOF Missionaries are highly qualified individuals who have proven records of effective ministry prior to joining GOF. Because GOF encourages the use of God's unique gifting, variety of methods and personalities within its GOF missionary pool, we are well equipped to face different situations and people groups.

Our collaborative partnerships with other nonprofit organizations and local pastors help further our capabilities by providing additional experience, cultural insights, and knowledge of local logistics.

GOF's smaller size organizational size is favorable not only from an administrative sense, but also beneficial in many of the areas we work. Where larger organizations would be recognized and hindered from entering certain areas, we are unknown in many nations and experience greater freedom.

While there is much work to do in the realm of discipleship, we are seeing the benefit of time, expense, and effort in the regions where we are present. Local church leaders are implementing changes within their congregations based on leadership and doctrinal training received. Students who were not receiving education prior are succeeding and advancing in their studies, several of whom have graduated secondary schooling.

We are lacking in consistent financial support for national pastors, thereby causing them to have to accept outside employment in order to support their families. The demands of external employment often pull them away from the focused work needed to build their congregation in number and spiritual maturity, which would lead to self-sustaining and replicating church growth.
