Church leaders gathered for biblical training

Global Action

Every church deserves an equipped leader.

Around the world, pastors and church leaders faithfully serve their communities without access to the biblical training they need. Global Action exists to change that.

Help Equip Leaders Discover Our Mission

Our mission: To equip church leaders in hard places to transform their communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our mission To equip church leaders in hard places to transform their communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why it matters

The calling is already there. Access is not.

God has raised up local leaders who know their communities, speak their languages, and are already serving their churches. But for many, Bible college or seminary is simply out of reach.

Distance, cost, conflict, language barriers, and limited training infrastructure should not prevent these leaders from growing in Scripture and ministry.

What impact looks like

A classroom is only the beginning.

Meet William Mopel, a church leader in Kenya whose ministry continued to grow after he completed Global Action’s Foundations program.

William developed discipleship training and a School of Ministry at his church. Twenty people have graduated from that program, extending biblical training beyond his own classroom experience.

When local leaders are equipped, they can equip others.
