GSM serves as a bridge, connecting missionaries who proclaim the gospel among the nations with lifelong partners. Through the World Mission Conference, Mission Support Nights, and monthly intercession gatherings, the frontline and backline become one in mission.

011:1 MISSION PARTNERSHIP

One Person Stands with One Missionary

Mission is not only the work of a few people far away. It is one person’s prayer and love sustaining the life of one missionary.

Read Column +

What a frontline missionary needs most is more than one-time assistance. They need someone who will weep, pray, and walk faithfully with them for years. A backline missionary is not merely a donor, but a fellow worker who shares in the fruit of the gospel.

GSM’s 1:1 partnership connects people personally. When we remember one another by name, share prayer requests, and walk through both joy and hardship together, mission becomes sustainable through relationship.

02CALLED TOGETHER / SENT TOGETHER

Calling and Sending Belong Together

The church is a community called together out of the world and, at the same time, sent together back into the world.

Read Column +

Being called together and sent together are not two separate movements. Jesus called His disciples into community, sanctified them in truth, and sent them together into the world.

We are sent to reveal the love of Jesus in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and among the nations. Mission is lived out every day.

Missionary Kyoung Sik Kim · GSM International Director
03GLOBAL INTERCESSION

Prayer Is Our Deepest Partnership

Prayer reaches places we cannot go and guards the path of missionaries even when we are unaware of their need.

Read Column +

The needs of the mission field cannot be met by finances alone. Missionaries need ongoing intercession for courage, health, family peace, and trust with local communities.

On the second Thursday of every month, GSM’s global intercession gathering unites the frontline and backline in prayer.

Missionary Kyoung Sik Kim · GSM International Director
04CALLED TOGETHER / SENT TOGETHER

Mission Begins with Sending

Mission is not only the story of those who travel far away. Some go, while others pray, support, and walk with them. Through the biblical meaning of sending, we reflect on GSM’s 1:1 mission partnership.

05THE CHURCH IN CREATIVE TENSION

Called from the World, Sent into the World
