The most common term used for Go To Nations (GTN) is “mission agency.” We are not a church, nor is it GTN’s role to take the place of the Church when it comes to missions. Jesus Christ mandated the universal Church as His instrument to complete the Great Commission and not for mission agencies to function independently of the Church. GTN acts as a servant ministry to the body of Christ at large to help fulfill that mandate.
GTN provides the local church with a complete missions track made up of viable mission services. It begins with interfacing with the church leadership and extends to providing support services to that church’s missionaries in the field.
In the context of God’s sovereign call and purpose for GTN, our definition of “mission agency” would be along the line – To serve as a “mission sending organization” which helps the body of Christ conduct mission ministry by providing the practical and technical assistance necessary to be effective in the global harvest.
Our mission is to Go To Nations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ until Every tribe, Every Tongue, Every Nation has heard.
We interface with local churches, organizations, and missionaries in the field to accomplish the following six main objectives:
- Global Awareness: HELP churches awaken their congregations to their God-given role in reaching the world for Christ.
- Missions Mobilization: ASSIST churches in mobilizing their people into missions involvement through praying, sending and going.
- Project Partnership: PRESENT overseas missions opportunities that churches can adopt as their field projects or help them pioneer new ones.
- Missionary Training: PROVIDE various stages of missions training for those who want to become full-time missionaries.
- Mission Services: SUPPLY support services for full-time missionaries that help sustain long-term viability and fruitfulness.
- Global Facilitation: SERVE as a mission facilitator between national Christian leaders, U.S. churches, and missionaries serving in the field.
