Your Profession Can Carry the Gospel to the Cities That Need It Most
GLS equips bi-vocational missionaries to serve the unreached through their work and calling.
Our History
Decades of Sending Professionals to Closed Countries
GLS was founded by leaders with deep experience mobilizing students and professionals for global mission. The founding vision was direct: send skilled professionals into the cities of Asia and the Middle East where the gospel has not yet taken root — not despite their careers, but through them.
Across decades of field work, that vision has never shifted. GLS has built a network of missional professionals across business, technology, education, healthcare, and social enterprise — people who didn't leave their careers behind, but took them to the frontier.
Your profession is not an obstacle to mission. It is the way the gospel enters cities that would otherwise remain closed.
The Mission Model:
Work as Mission — Your Career Is the Key
Many Christians carry a quiet tension — a sense that their career and their faith are running on separate tracks. GLS exists to close that gap. Work as Mission makes your profession the point of entry into cities across Asia and the Middle East where the gospel has little or no presence.
Professionals from every field—business, technology, healthcare, education, the arts, and more—take their careers to the frontier. Their work opens doors, and their relationships create opportunities for gospel presence.
Who we Send:
Every Field Has Cities That Have Not Been Reached
GLS welcomes professionals from a wide range of sectors — because every field opens doors that others cannot. The cities of Asia and the Middle East need exactly what you already do.
Entrepreneurs and business executives
Teachers and educators at every level
Technology and IT professionals
Healthcare workers and counselors
Nonprofit and social enterprise leaders
If your career gives you credible access to an unreached city, GLS wants to talk with you.

Our Impact
More than half the world lives in cities — the same cities where the gospel has the least presence. GLS's mission has always been city-based, sending professionals into the economic, educational, and cultural centers where the need is greatest. The network spans both sides of the Pacific, in partnership with scores of North American churches.
