What is GCP?
Global Commission Partners is a non-profit missionary organization that is taking the Gospel to unreached people groups by supporting local/native missionaries. In this way, GCP aims to reach the least evangelized people in the world in the most cost-effective way possible.
Why Unreached People Groups?
GCP works exclusively with unreached people groups because we believe that only after they are reached will the task of the Great Commission be finished.
In Matthew 24:14, Jesus said, “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached into all the world as a testimony unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” The word “nations” here does not refer to countries. In the original Greek, the word is “etnos”, meaning ethno-linguistic groups, or people groups. There are over 200 countries in the world, but more than 10,000 people groups, 4,000+ of which are considered unreached. These people groups have virtually no access to the Gospel; they have practically no churches nearby, no believers, and no bibles in their language.
Why Native Ministries?
GCP supports native missionaries because we believe they are the most cost-effective missionary force today. The missionaries serving with these ministries know the local languages, are intimately acquainted with the culture, can’t be deported, and can be financially supported with a fraction of what it costs to support a western missionary.
This is What Makes GCP Different
The number one problem in fulfilling the Great Commission is that the western Church continues to invest most of its resources in areas where there is a strong presence of the Gospel. As a result, this hinders the Good News from reaching those who have never heard it. By partnering with native missionaries and working exclusively among unreached people groups, GCP ensures our donors that their resources are being used as effectively as possible.
Our Mission
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached into all the world as a testimony unto all nations (ethos: ethnic groups); and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14. Global Commission Partners considers this to be the priority in terms of world evangelization. Therefore, we seek to finish the task the Lord entrusted to us, His church.
