Who are Global Missions Coaches?

Global Missions Coaches are caring, experienced believers who prayerfully walk alongside people exploring missions. They serve individuals, families, and churches by helping discern next steps. They can meet with you online or in-person, when possible.

GM Coaches also bring the additional value of resources and networks shaped over decades of global experience. Because each Explorer is unique, our coaches listen carefully and depend on the Lord for wisdom. Their goal is to help others recognize and respond to God’s invitation to share in his mission with joyful obedience.

How does Global Missions Coaching work?

Global Missions Coaching is relational and personal. Based on your Connection Form, we match a GM Coach from our team to come alongside you.

First, your GM Coach will listen, pray, and help you work out initial questions. Conversations are then shaped around your unique context and pace, and will include your testimony, service in your church, and sense of calling. All this leads to growing understanding and clear next steps.

Using trusted resources and networks, GM Coaches help you explore options and respond faithfully to God’s leading, wherever he may guide you.

Do I have to apply before working with a Global Missions Coach?

No. You do not need to formally apply to any mission agency to engage with a Global Missions Coach. We just need your contact information to begin a conversation.

If and when the time is right, your GM Coach can help you prepare a clear and thoughtful application to one or more organizations.
