A GLO team member is someone is dedicated to a life long journey of faith and commited to fulfilling the Great Commission in their communities and across the waters.
A GLO team leader is passionate about spurring others on in their faith to become globally minded Christians and fulfill their divinely appointed Great Commission calling locally and worldwide.
As a Christian we are all called to MISSIONS: each with our own specific calling: some are called to pray, give, go, encourage, host and receive.
As a GLO team leader, the leader should be passionate about providing and facilitating opportunities for the church body to become more functional in the global body of Christ.
Define MISSIONS: Proclaim the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ in works and words, make disciples of all nations with healthy partnerships that cross cultural, language and geographic boundaries and with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT walk with our brothers and sister in the LORD to facilitiate transformation of individual heart and whole communities, turning hearts towards our Savior.
GLO team members have a burden to see God's Kingdom advance.
GLO team members see the world as their neighborhood.
What does the GLO team leader and team do:
1. Worship together so that we may be more and more aligned with God and what He is willing.
2. Pray and intercede for the needs and praises of the global church, for the missionaries, and for the lost. To lift in prayer the joys and pains of all our neighbors and brethren.
3. Recognize the gifts and talents of congregation as we send them out on short term endeavors with long term impact.
4. Endeavor to develop deeper level relationships with one another.
5. Participate and contribute to the local and global mission opportunities.
6. Spur on the body to be involved in missions and provide training and support for mission opportunities.

To make Christ known among all nations by equipping

reproducing churches which will be salt and light at all levels within their culture.
We see a church so in love with Christ that they
are no longer comfortable with the
fleeting American Dream, rather they are gripped by
a vision to fulfill the Great
Commission.
We see a church passionate for the nations, living
and giving generously to fulfill
the Great Commission.
We see our own sons and daughters going to the end
s of the earth as short-term
and career missionaries.
We see every member of our church empowered to fulfill a personal life mission in the world.
We see unreached people trusting in Christ, becoming disciples, leaders,
missionaries and pastors.
We see formerly unreached peoples reaching the remaining unreached peoples.
We see churches being planted at the ends of the earth where Christ is treasured,
His Word is being taught by well-trained indigenouspastors, and people are being transformed by the power of God.
We see nations being overturned by the love of Christ.
We see things so wondrous they can’t be explained.
(Habakkuk 1:5)
