Strengthening Frontline Ministries

The best word-picture to define GMFnetwork is an umbrella. An umbrella offers protection, security, and comfort for those who gather under its covering. GMFnetwork is simply that; a covering that adds those exact elements to each ministry that gathers under its canopy.

GMFnetwork is a group of faith-based, gospel outreach ministries. Each has a specific calling and each is committed to the task God has called them to. Some are sending groups, others are ministries of national Christians, and others are target specific people groups or countries. Each group has its unique identity or task, but all share in the common goal of reaching the unreached world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The value of the GMFnetwork to each of its participating organizations is in the services and support it provides (see listing of services below). The greatest challenge facing most of these organizations is not in the work that God has called them to, but in the mechanics and maintenance of keeping their organization afloat.

In fact, were it not for the umbrella provided to these organizations by GMF, most would stay distracted from their ministry objectives by having to stay on top of things like: IRS reporting, insurance procurement, promotional demands, and other day to day operations.

Likewise, it is important to understand that each of these organizations brings its own uniqueness to the GMFnetwork. While one group is focused on reaching a people group through the media, another might be focused on using medical doctors to open the doors for Christian workers to enter a closed country.

That’s why it is important for GMF to create platforms to expand the awareness of these ministries. They each are worthy of prayer and financial support as well as participation by individual Christians and churches. Support can be directed to these ministries by clicking on the DONATE icon to the left of the ministry description below.

Mission Leader Ministries

www.missionleader.org

Mission Leader Ministries is committed to two ministries: 1. Guiding churches, large and small, toward maximum impact in Missions. Since the onset of a mission and church plant resources site (www.missionleader.com) churches have been asking for help. "Help me setup a mission committee...help me move my church toward a mission offering...help me move my church toward a people group...help me to know how to lead out in missions".  2. Personally increasing their family's direct impact in the unengaged world. God called us to impact the least reached people with the Gospel. Their commitment is to raise support so they can do more direct missions in Afghanistan, where God has given favor, experience, and a realm of influence.

Mission Mexico City

www.missionmexicocity.com

Mexico City has proven itself to be one of Latin America's most difficult contexts for the church. High crime, lack of infrastructure, over-population, political corruption, and high costs are just a few of the obstacles that face the handful of evangelical churches in this city of 22 million. It is abundantly clear that Mexico City is in desperate need of more growing churches. Mission Mexico City exists to plant a church in Mexico City with the vision, wisdom, and humility to grow. We desire to see a Mexican-led congregation that firmly believes in God's power and grace to shape their city and culture. This is the kind of church that makes such an impact on people and their communities, that it helps to spark greater church growth throughout Mexico City.

 

Pure and Simple Devotion
www.pureandsimpledevotion.com

This new and innovative ministry is focused on finding and targeting some of the smallest and most remote people groups who have previously had no access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. David Weston is known as one of the top mission strategists for Unreached People Groups in the world. His skills are routinely put to the test as he works with churches in trying to identify specific unreached groups that he and the partnering church can target and work with. This process includes guiding the church as they research, strategize, engage, witness to, and ultimately plant churches in the targeted area.
