Global Care Teams

As we strive together to make followers of Jesus Christ by living the gospel life among the nations, we recognize that it will take much intentionality and the various giftings in the body to effectively send and care for our Global Workers. To do this well, Global Care Teams exist to serve alongside the Global Ministries Pastor and Team to provide critical support for our Global Workers as gospel partners.
