A Shared Ambition
Most of us who love Jesus are thrilled to see others come to know Him! And there is a special joy when we know we have helped make that possible.
The Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome explaining his behavior and the choices he was making. He says, “It has always been my ambition to preach the Gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation” (Romans 15:20).
As Global Disciples, we share Paul’s ambition. We are fully focused on reaching those people groups who have not yet had an opportunity to hear and respond to the Good News of Jesus.
We believe it is totally unacceptable that about one-third of the people in our world still have not had a chance to respond to the Gospel! We’re working to change that by partnering with 1,594 clusters of churches in 65 countries, and equipping them to train and send out disciple-makers.
You can too, as together, we work to accomplish the Apostle Paul’s ambition to make Christ known. Prayer is one way you can help meet the needs of church clusters that want to send out their workers. We know that no one comes to Christ apart from prayer, and it’s essential for everything we do. You can pray for Global Disciples, and invite others to join you. We have a monthly prayer calendar and resources you can use here.
You can also help financially—your gifts provide training that multiplies disciples every day! At this time, your gift can have a greater impact through our 2023 Match. A group of generous business leaders will match every gift of $1,000 or more, given by June 30. This includes monthly giving of $85 or more.

This is also a great time to invite your home fellowship, your family, or friends who share the ambition to see all people choose to follow Jesus, and make a collective gift to support multiplication.
Disciple-makers trained through Global Disciples not only share Paul’s ambition, but his strategy too. And they’re effective just as he was—going out to meet people where they are, and introducing them to Jesus in a way they can understand and embrace.
The vision of Global Disciples—and the Apostle Paul’s ambition—is to share Christ where He is not known. Thank you for participating in making that vision a reality.
