Our first Great Commission Training Center
On February 16, 2005, our vision for a Great Commission Training Center was born (see Nate's journal entry here), and in 2009, we raised money to start a GCA training center under our former ministry (see a description of that here). Even though God provided the funds for the training center initially, we didn't get the green light to launch the GCA until 2018. God has done more than we ever could have imagined since then (see a short video on that here). Recently, after 18 years of prayer, fasting, and fundraising for a Great Commission Training Center, we were able to purchase a facility in Albuquerque, NM, through funds made available from that past fundraising project and the generosity of current donors.
Our team had been prayerfully looking for a place with office space (for video, audio, and print needs), residential space (for GCA hosts, students, and partners), meeting space (for trainings), and an RV space (for a traveling and training team). We finally found a place that met each and every one of these needs, was zoned properly, was centrally located in Albuquerque (see below), and came in under our budget. God did a miracle. Here's a picture of our new facility.

We just recently bought this place, and some ministry is already happening here. We've had one training for Christian workers in dangerous and sensitive nations. A South Asian fellowship time has also started. And, we've had a GCA staff person using it as a home base for a brief time. In the very near future, we'll be having our staff retreat here, multiple IAP partners will be staying here, and we'll be starting important renovation projects to prepare for more ministry. We will need prayers, volunteers, and support for this facility to become a fully functioning Great Commission Training Center. If you'd like to help, please contact Nate (970-946-9045, nate@gcateam.org). Thanks!
So many of you have prayed for and given to this Great Commission Training Center vision in the past. Thank you. None of that was in vain. All of that has led us to where we are today. This vision is only becoming a reality because of your partnership in this ministry. Thank you!
