Build Go To Nations on a vision, not personalities. God has really helped us in this area. GTN has never been built on a personality. We are a global team of interchangeable parts. And everyone should be EVOLVING to greater leadership potential and responsibility.
Be committed to the mobilization, training, productivity, and personal welfare of our missionary teams.
This is why GTN constantly strives to strengthen and improve it training and mobilization processes, its global field structure, and its MemberCare Division. Our aim and ministry desire is, at some point, God’s missionary soldiers at GTN will become spiritual fathers in the faith for those coming up behind them.
GTN is an equipping and mobilizing ministry to help equip, mobilize and serve the national leaders and churches for the expansion of national and international ministry.
This requires GTN to work aggressively and strategically toward the empowerment of the strong national workers. This is a process of increasing local participation in conducting ministry that leads to nationalization of GTN’s initiated missions works. It is the exact opposite of creating dependency.
GTN is to help missionaries develop spiritual and experiential discernment to identify the needs of an area, region, or nation compared to the callings and giftings of the team, and plan accordingly.
In other words, GTN teams strive to supply the components necessary for the creation of national missions movements. We will not be God’s total solution for reaching a nation for Christ, but GTN can be a strategic part that helps bring a holistic approach by doing what we are anointed to do. This also cultivates an appreciation in GTN for other ministry’s giftings as well.
Be pro-active in creating multi-generational ministry for long-term fruitfulness.
We should constantly be in the process of reproducing ourselves. Currently, GTN has a healthy balance of new and veteran missionaries. Over the past two decades, the challenges for recruiting new missionaries increased due to the climate and general focus of the church in the influent West. But I believe it is correct to say that new trends are starting to develop that gives us hope that segments of the body of Christ in the affluent West are awakening to Christ’s Great Commission mandate.
GTN is committed to global partnership with other parts of the body of Christ for the purpose of completing the Great Commission.
GTN does not consider itself in competition with any of God’s global army. Instead, we are partners, co-laborers, called to work side-by-side, The heart of GTN is help serve other laborers in the harvest in order to increase Kingdom advancement whenever it is possible.
