Who We Are

Equipping Church Leaders In Hard Places

Global Action equips church leaders in hard places to transform their communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our vision is clear: every leader equipped, every church empowered, every community engaged.

Our Heart

We Exist To Glorify God

At the core of Global Action is a simple but defining conviction: we exist to glorify God in all we do.

We are not driven by recognition, growth for its own sake, or organizational success. We want to make the name of God great and never elevate ourselves. Our ultimate aim is not simply evangelism, but worship.

Everything we do flows from this belief. Training leaders is not just about delivering information. It is about forming men and women who are grounded in Scripture, shaped in character, and equipped to lead and serve in ways that reflect Christ.

Our Vision

A Clear Calling In Hard Places

Global Action exists to equip church leaders in places where access to biblical training is limited or nonexistent.

This creates a critical gap. Churches grow, but leaders are often under-equipped to disciple believers well, teach sound doctrine, and guide their communities through difficult realities.

We believe that one of the most strategic ways to strengthen the global Church is to invest in its leaders.

Our Story

A Global Ministry With Deep Roots

Global Action was founded in 1998 by Swedish evangelical leader Lars B. Dunberg. Over time, Global Action developed into a ministry committed to evangelical essentials, interdenominational cooperation, and proclaiming the gospel in places of deep need.

Today, Global Action equips leaders in Sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, the Caribbean, South Asia, and Eastern Europe, while laying plans to expand its work in South America, Africa, and Central Europe.

Our Beliefs

A Biblical Foundation

Global Action is rooted in historic evangelical conviction. The ministry believes the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, and personal return.

We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost.

We believe theological education should be reachable for those called by God to serve the church.
