GLOBAL CONNECTIONS MINISTRY
What We Believe
We believe people living in cross-cultural contexts are called to be future world missionaries, and our work at GCM is focused on supporting these people in their calling.
Core to our mission is sharing the message of Isaiah 35:10 and Isaiah 51:11 relating to the rescue of God's ransomed by coming into God's calling over their lives.
and those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away. [Isaiah 35:10]
and those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;

and sorrow and sighing will flee away. [Isaiah 51:11]
Right now, GCM is supporting young people around the world by providing educational solutions to open doors for them. Moreover, GCM provides non-clinical online Christian counseling to multicultural families through Ellie Counseling, bringing care and assistance into their lives.
This movement includes financial and programmatic support for individuals and families, along with the publication and promotion of materials aligned with the promise of Isaiah 35:10 / 51:11 and specialized workshops to guide organizations in more effectively supporting cross-cultural ministry.
If you agree with our perspective that holistic wellness is foundational to preparing people in cross-cultural contexts to build the Kingdom of God, we ask for your prayers and encouragement as we endure the challenges of this movement, and you are welcome to participate financially.
