What's been happening over the last 2 years.
It is hard to believe all that God has done in the past 2 years of the existence of the GCA. He has been so faithful in helping us reach the world for Him and train others to do the same. Since the start of the GCA in January of 2018 our team, by God's grace, has been in all of the countries in the picture above. In these countries we have been blessed to train nearly 6,000 leaders! When we train pastors and leaders we not only teach them how to share their faith and do discipleship, but we also put a big emphasis on multiplication of both. We want to go on trips that make an eternal impact, but we know the importance spiritual multiplication has had in our own lives. We have a desire to multiply Chris-like multipliers for the Great Commission. So, when our team goes abroad or even on domestic trips, we make sure that the leaders we are training are also equipped to train their congregations or those around them. This is strategic because the local leaders overseas know their culture better than we do, and the languages better that we do and therefore, once trained in evangelism and discipleship, can better replicate the process with their communities.
On a side note, we've also over doubled our staff since the start of GCA. We now have 15 wonderful staff members, the newest being Tabitha and Russell Baker who joined us the end of the summer!
It is amazing all that God has done through our team in the short 2 years of the GCA. Thank you for your prayers and support for our ministry!

Summer Oppertunites
Our team has been helping with evangelism at Night Vision Music Festival for well over a decade. This is a great place to meet people and share the Good News of Jesus. Even though it is a Christian based event it is free to the public and people come from all over to enjoy the music and festivities. Night Vision is in early July, but registration for Volunteers ends soon! We are always looking for people to join us on the Evangelism team! To learn more about being a volunteer please contact us at info@gcateam.org
End of the Year Recap
We wanted to encourage you with what God has done in and through the GCA over the past year. In a little over a year we were able to partner with 20 ministries and churches in 17 different countries! This led to 4,000 people trained in discipleship and evangelism and over 1,000 decisions to trust Christ. God also grew our team. We started in January with 6 staff members and we are going into 2019 with 13!
Africa Bound
The team above is leaving for Africa in less than a week! Chris, Nate, Philip, and Ben will be training around 1,000 pastors and leaders in discipleship and evangelism. They will be in Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Uganda for around two and a half weeks. Please pray for safe travels and that they would be an encouragement to our brothers and sisters in Africa.

New Discipleship Resource
Tools are very important as they can catalyze effective evangelism and discipleship. Our BEST FACTS apologetics tool has been a great resource and it is part of the developing GCA discipleship curriculum. Our Great Commission Leadership workbook and 101 Easy, Effective, and Exciting Evangelism Ideas book are other key resources for this ministry as well. Today we received word that our newest resource, which will actually be the starting workbook in the GCA discipleship curriculum, is now available on Amazon as well.
Following Jesus: Discipleship Essentials is a resource designed to help a younger believer get a firm foundation in the key principles of our faith! It is also a tool that enables more mature Christians to disciple younger believers. This tool was developed based on the content in MPM's discipleship packet and we are so thankful for the way this packet was used for so many years.

-Nate Herbst
In May of 2018, team member, Nate Herbst traveled to Myanmar to train pastors and church leaders in discipleship and evangelism. Thank you for praying for this trip.
