Global Frontier Missions - About Us

General Information: GFM is an international, non-denominational Christian missionary organization. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was incorporated in the state of VA in the year 2000. Check out the entire history of GFM as well as our statement of faith

Our mission statement: Global Frontier Missions (GFM) is a movement of Christ-centered communities dedicated to mobilizing, training, and multiplying disciples and churches to reach the physical and spiritual needs of the unreached people groups on earth.

A movement is what we like to consider ourselves even more so than an organization because movement implies growth, spontaneity, multiplication, a cause worth giving up your life for, and sounds more like the kingdom of heaven that Jesus came to establish. We would consider everyone in the GFM family a part of this movement including all of our prayer and financial supporters, everyone that has partipated in our programs, our facebook friends, churches that we've shared in and caught God's heart for the nations, and like-minded organizations that are taking Christ to the ends of the earth.

Christ-centered is at the core of our mission because it best describes everything we do as we are committed to knowing Him better and making Him known. Apart from Him, we can do nothing, so everything we do at GFM revolves around Christ.

Communities better descibes our locations rather than calling them "bases". Every place that GFM serves has a team of people dedicated to prayer, the Word, worship, fellowship, one anothering, doing life together, while having fun and making disciples of all nations. If we are going to go out and plant churches, we need to be a healthy church ourselves so we are dedicated to being disciples of Jesus and doing life together in community.

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.

Physical and spiritual needs are mentioned all through scripture as something that God commands His people to be involved with. 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.

Our passion - to see God's name glorified among the 2.8 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.

We currently have locations in Atlanta and Houston with hopes to expand into several new multiethnic cities in the United States as well as to establish mobilization and training hubs among the THUMB people (Tribal, Hindu, Unreligious, Muslim, Buddhist). The goal is to raise up people to pray, give, and go strategically to see the remaining 6900 unreached people groups have access to the Good News.

Most of GFM's full-time staff come under the additional covering of Commission To Every Nation (CTEN) for administrative and logistcal help as well as additional pastoral oversight. Check out our other ministry partnerships.
