Start With a Trip.
See Where It Takes You.
GLS short-term opportunities let you serve with your skills, meet bi-vocational missionaries on the ground, and experience firsthand what missional living actually looks like.
WHY IT MATTERS?
The Field Needs Professionals. Your career Open Doors No Visa Can.
The cities that have not been reached by the gospel are not looking for missionaries — they are looking for engineers, educators, healthcare professionals, and healthcare and business professionals.. A short-term trip with GLS shows you how your profession becomes the key to long-term residency, meaningful relationships with local colleagues, and a presence that lasts.
Where Can You Serve?
Match your skills to a real need on the ground.
East Asia
One of the least reached regions in the world — and one of the most open to skilled professionals. Educators, business professionals, and social entrepreneurs find natural entry points through programs, internships, and community initiatives.

Central Asia
Over 90% of the population has not been reached by the gospel. Technology, language, and entrepreneurship professionals find real opportunities here in short trips of 10 to 12 days.

Middle East
Home to some of the largest unreached people groups in the world. Healthcare and education professionals are among the most welcomed — with opportunities ranging from 2 to 4 weeks.
