BOOT CAMP, SMALL WINS, AND A GROWING VISION
This summer, we ran a university IT boot camp with a team of four software engineers and 18 students.
BACK TO THE FUTURE: BI-VOCATIONAL MISSIONS
In the mid-1990s, we began sending bi-vocational workers. As we study Scripture and church history, we realize that the bi-vocational model of integrating work and witness is truly “back to the future.”

BI-VOCATIONAL PROFESSIONALS: PIONEERS OF THE GREAT COMMISSION, THEN AND NOW
The global landscape of missions is changing rapidly. The call to live out the Great Commandment and fulfill the Great Commission is more urgent than ever.
YOUR WORK IS A KEY TO REACHING THE WORLD
Have you ever considered how your work—whether in a classroom or a boardroom, behind a screen or across borders—could be the key to fulfilling the Great Commission?
JOIN GOD'S SPIRIT ON THE MOVE AMONG MUSLIMS
Some missionaries would fast and pray during Ramadan for significant conversations with Muslims during this holiest time of year for them. Ramadan is a time of spiritual battle when conversions have been reported. We encourage Christians around the world to join forces with the Spirit in prayer.
AN AMERICAN TEACHER & HIS MUSLIM DAUGHTERS
Bob teaches English to international students, many of them from Muslim countries. He counsels every student in his weekly office hours and asks God to highlight whom he and his wife should reach out to.
“CREATIVE ACCESS” APPLIED
Given the unique challenges of working in CANs, we need to employ creative and acceptable ways to connect with people and share our lives. If you want to learn more about Creative Access Nations (CANs), and how to equip yourself to serve in restrictive countries, contact us at info@goliveserve.org.
“CREATIVE ACCESS” UNPACKED
Creative Access Nations (CANs) are countries where traditional missionary work is restricted or outright banned due to political, social, or religious reasons. CANs used to be called “closed” countries. But being closed to foreign missionaries does not mean these countries are inaccessible.
FROM MIGRATION TO MISSION: HOW DIASPORA LEADERS ARE SHAPING COMMUNITIES THROUGH INNOVATION
We invite you to join us as we pray and invest in diaspora communities, marketplace leaders, and next-generation initiatives that demonstrate the Gospel in word and deed. Together, we can build a future where families, communities, and nations thrive under the lordship of Christ.
"DO NOT DESPISE THESE SMALL BEGINNINGS."
At the heart of missional work is the long-term investment in relationships. We are confident that by living generously and authentically, we can build bridges that transcend culture, time, and place. Our task is to be faithful to the call, to bridge into culture, and trust that God is working even in the smallest beginnings.
A KAIROS MOMENT FOR IT PROFESSIONALS
We want to channel tech and business resources to help start a Christian graduate movement that would strengthen churches and local ministries, and give young people hope and dignity through their faith and work.
NEVER SAY NEVER
One never knows what God has in mind. When I learn to throw away my “never” refrain, to say “yes” to Him, God kept surprising me with good things. I just need to trust Him and be willing to follow Him. There is great joy walking in His will. I’ve learned to never say “never.”
I WOULD NEVER...
Have you ever told God what you would never do or what He should never expect from you? These “never” statements can come up in conversation among friends or they can be hidden in our private thoughts. They reflect our core values and concerns.
THE STORY OF A YOUNG BELIEVER IN A MUSLIM COUNTRY
In Muslim-majority countries, young Christians like Fatima live with the tensions between their biological family and their spiritual family. Many defer the decision for Christ for fear of family and societal rejection. The stakes are high for converts.
MINORITY CHURCHES—PERSECUTED BUT INDESTRUCTIBLE
It is divine grace that enables God’s people to endure hardship and persevere in injustice. God has promised that if we suffer with Christ, we shall also reign with him in glory. (2 Tim. 2:11-12) Among the global Christian population, Christians in Muslim majority countries come under the most pressure.
