Global Frontier Missions - About Us
Global Frontier Missions (GFM) is an international Christian missions organization focused on mobilizing, training, and multiplying disciples and churches among the unreached people groups on earth - the 1.7 billion people in the world who have never heard the name of Jesus. Our burning passion is to see the fulfillment of the Revelation 7:9,10 vision where the Apostle John describes an incredible worship service with people from "every nation, tribe, people and language" together worshipping the Lamb. Feel free to read our statement of faith.
We currently have locations in Atlanta, Houston, and Mexico with hopes to expand into several new multiethnic cities in the United States as well as establish hubs among the THUMB people (Tribal, Hindu, Unreligious, Muslim, Buddhist).
Most of GFM's full-time staff come under the additional covering of Commission To Every Nation (CTEN) for administrative help and pastoral oversight.
Global Frontier Missions' Ministry Strategy in the United States
Our long-term ministry goals are three-fold:
. Mobilizing: We want to raise awareness concerning the needs around the world, so that people and churches can be more strategic in fulfilling their role in the Great Commission. We do this by hosting short-term mission trips, holding missions seminars/conferences, and getting involved in local churches to cast vision for the unreached people groups.
. Training: We want to train as many people as possible to go and serve long-term among the unreached people groups of the world. Our Missionary Training Schools are a perfect way for people to get their feet wet in missions right here in the US as they learn some language, cross cultural barriers, begin building relationships with internationals, etc. before launching off overseas.
. Multiplying: We want to reach out and engage in church planting among the internationals living close to us with the hope of seeing them evangelized and discipled to the point that they can go back and reach their own people. We do this by focusing on immigrants, refugees, and international students living in close proximity to us. Our desire is to plant simple, reproducible churches in apartment complexes, homes, and on college campuses. We also want to send out long-term church planting teams to serve among the unreached people groups of the earth.
Scripture makes it clear that as Christians we should minister to both the physical and spiritual needs of people. To focus exclusively on the physical or exclusively on the spiritual would be to have an incomplete ministry. We focus on spiritual needs by building relationships with people, sharing the Gospel with them, baptizing new converts, discipling them, and helping plant churches. We focus on physical needs by providing services that are helpful to internationals such as picking them up from the airport, helping them get settled, teaching them English, helping them find jobs, providing low-cost meals, etc. We are dedicated to holistic ministry among the nations.
