Partnering With Us
An illustration for partnership in ministry might be thought of as the threads in the hands of a skilled weaver. In the hands of The Weaver, a limited number of different threads are intentionally brought together for one grand design.
​
Our ministry support partners are very diverse. One rebuilds starters and alternators for heavy equipment in Michigan another is a retired steel worker living in Texas. One is a manager at a fuel supply company in Michigan another manages a lodge in northern Colorado. What brings them all together? It's their response to our Lord's "Great Commission" found in Matthew 28:16-20 - Jesus is speaking to His disciples and says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
We are dedicated to ENGAGING the curious and EQUIPPING the follower so that people find their way to God through Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Our partners enable us to continue in full-time ministry toward that end. We are not interested in raising funds - we are interested in developing relationships with long-term ministry partners - people who understand what we do and why we do it.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
GSN is overseen by MinistryWatch a watchdog agency which tracks the financial transparency of ministries and gives scores on how effective they are at using donor funding.
THE GSN Story
​
Global Service Network partners with like-minded servants of Christ within campus ministries, churches, cross-cultural missionaries, Christian professionals, Seminaries, and short-term mission teams providing freedom from the distraction of administration duties, accountability in order to maximize Biblical stewardship of resources, and effective communication with ministry partners.
Global Service Network was launched in 2007 by four missionaries whose combined ministry experience totaled over 70 years. The founders recognized a need to form an administrative structure as they developed a ministry to those living in restricted-access countries. They did not imagine the network would grow and expand globally, encompassing a wide range of mission endeavors. GSN is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and a member of ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability).
​
The vision of Global Service Network is rooted in Jesus’ command, “…The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” (Matthew 9:37-38) By providing the support and resources for men and women to be laborers in God’s harvest, GSN accomplishes its mission, Empowering Servants of Christ to take the Gospel to the World. The stories of lives impacted through the ministries of associates (missionaries) consistently fuel momentum for helping to fulfill the Great Commission.
