Great Commission 2030 Initiative
In the past 18 years, Global Media Outreach, a non-profit Internet ministry, has become one of the largest evangelism and discipleship ministries. God has enabled us to successfully use global communication technology (internet, mobile, social media and video) to reach people worldwide with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Each day millions around the globe search online with spiritual issues or are open to a Gospel presentation. As Christians, we want to meet their needs when people are searching for God. Our Initiative will help ensure that a Christian is available to respond when people are seeking. It is especially critical to respond to this need now, before online doors close in countries where governments could, at any time, strictly curtail religious freedom.
Through the strategic use of the Internet and Mobile technology, Global Media Outreach is overcoming formidable barriers and experiencing unprecedented success sharing the gospel throughout the world.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Since our founding in 2004, Global Media Outreach has shared the Gospel more than 1.8 billion times and seen more than 208 million indicated decisions for Christ.
Our vision is to use technology to give everyone on Earth multiple chances to hear the Gospel, see hundreds of millions accept Jesus, give them the resources to grow in their faith and connect them with Christian community.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
People who are searching for spiritual answers come to our sites via search engines or digital ads. When they reach our site, they are presented with the Gospel and are given a chance to indicate a decision to follow Christ (or recommit to following Christ). After the decision, they have a chance to connect with one of our 4,000+ online missionaries.
After connecting with an online missionary, we help them grow in their faith and enable them to go into their communities and share the Good News of Jesus as well as connect with a local body of believers.
We can do all of this for about 10 cents per visit to our website.
We will continue to find low cost yet effective ways to share the Gospel online, using new technology including mobile apps, mobile advertising, and social media. We will also develop more tools to help new and recommitting believers grow spiritually.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Global Media Outreach has built a team of more than 2,800 volunteers who respond to seekers and new believers each day as they come in through the website. Our technology team builds and manages the more than 200 websites for evangelism and discipleship. Another aspect of the ministry of Global Media Outreach that is unique is our highly developed online response system, which provides a high level of security and is able to handle a very high volume of messages in multiple languages. The system offers online workers an array of mentoring aids to make them more effective in helping seekers and believers.
Global Media Outreach is also able to accurately track and document the results of our ministry's effectiveness by measuring the number of people who saw a gospel presentation, the number of indicated decisions for Christ, email follow up and the number of people who access our online discipleship resources.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We believe the growth since 2004 demonstrates the blessing of God upon the power of our strategy and the size of the opportunity:
• Increase revenue from $800,000 to $8 million
• Increase visitors receiving a Gospel presentation to 400,000/day
• Increase indicated decisions for Christ approximately 40,000/day
• Increase new contacts to approximately 4,000/day
• Increase trade languages from 2 to 39
• Reaching 195 countries.
Global Media Outreach, in partnership with The American Bible Society, developed the Christian Growth Index to survey those who indicate that they prayed to receive Jesus. The results of that survey clearly indicate that people are showing measurable signs of spiritual growth.
81% Indicated they have assurance of their salvation.
79% Indicated their worldview and life experience had changed.
70% Read the Bible daily.
73% Attend Church regularly.
85% Pray daily.
88% Have shared their Christian faith with others.
