“I want the disciples I train to know what it means to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth,” Pastor Vee* said.

He’s equipping disciple-makers and church planters in a place that already seems like the ends of the earth! A place where sharing the Gospel is highly dangerous and done at great personal cost—a price he’s paid before.

Pastor Vee has a vision. It’s a vision shared by Global Disciples to see that every person has the opportunity to choose and follow Jesus. For this, he is training his people in hidden fellowships and taking them out to the tribal people on his nation’s frontiers, so that even there, Jesus will be made known!  

He also shares this vision with thousands of disciples around the world, as they step out in faith to make sure others know about Jesus.

Some are experienced leaders in established churches, prompted by the Holy Spirit to see the needs of those who still need Jesus. In Brazil, Nathaniel gave up his position with a big church in Sao Paolo when God broke his heart for unreached ethnic groups. He and his family gave up security and position, to go out and share Jesus, make disciples, and plant a church within a least-reached people.

Others are first-generation believers—coming to faith in Jesus out of strong cultural and religious systems. Their hearts are burdened for their least-reached families, communities, and beyond. Ahmed* was born and raised Muslim in Ethiopia, in a community without Christian witness. He became an imam, a leader in his mosque. When he met Jesus and found salvation, his life was radically changed. His vision was to reach his Muslim brothers, and it led to other imams and entire mosques coming to faith in Jesus.     

As Global Disciples, our vision is focused on the one third of our world considered least-reached: the people and places where a witness or access to the Good News of Jesus is limited or non-existent.

Vision is a wonderful thing! To see a future reality and work towards it. The vision becomes reality each day as we equip disciples like Pastor Vee, Nathaniel, and Ahmed, and send them out to give least-reached people the opportunity to choose and follow Jesus.
