Prayer is not what we do instead of joining the work — it is how we enter it and sustain it. Discover why intercession is the greater work, and how it connects every believer to the frontlines of global missions.

God is incredibly patient and works over the long haul. From Aijan's story, three things stand out: persistent prayer really does bear fruit, faithful presence changes lives, and the love of local believers can transform not just one life — but an entire family.

Bi-vocational mission isn’t a modern workaround. It’s how the gospel has moved for 4,000 years. From Paul the tentmaker to professionals today, careers have opened doors into nations closed to traditional missionaries — proving your work can become part of God’s mission in the world. Explore your next step with GLS.

Your profession isn't separate from God's mission — it may be the very key that opens the door. Discover how your skills can reach unreached cities across Asia and the Middle East.

Can your career be part of God's mission? Discover three perspectives on faith and work and how your profession can impact lives, local workplaces, and unreached places in the 10/40 Window.

From ancient Persia to modern Iran, God's redemptive story has never stopped. Once home to only 500 believers, Iran's underground church is now one of the fastest growing in the world. History, Scripture, and prayer converge in this moment — and the Lord of history is still advancing His plan.

What if your profession is actually your mission field? In many unreached cities, traditional missionaries have no access—but professionals do. Teachers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and doctors carry credibility, influence, and daily presence. When faith is lived with integrity at work, the Gospel becomes visible, opening hearts across entire cities.

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?

Ramadan is an opportunity for Christians as well to practice loving our Muslim neighbors and exercising our faith publicly even as our Lenten season overlaps with Ramadan to end with Easter.

Mimi Chan spoke at our 9/24/22 Work as Globalocal Mission Webinar “Building Bridges Across Faith At Work”. Head of Seasonal Events at Amazon Books, she is also the founder and chair of Christians At Amazon, which started with ten people praying together but has since grown to over a thousand members and twelve chapters.

In Part 1 of the story, the author shared how Paul’s message from 1 Cor. 9:19-23 guides his approach to work and work relationships: To the Jews become as a Jew and be a servant to all. In his leadership position, he learns to be a bridge and to share with others the love of God and the blessings of the gospel.

Some years ago, God called me to work for a company that is the industry leader in East Asia. During this time, He has been showing me through 1 Corinthians 9: 19-23 how to use my position to be a bridge and share His love with all sorts of people in my daily work and business travels around the world.

As God’s people, we’re all called to act upon the Great Commission (Mt. 28:19-20) as well as the Great Commandment (Mt. 22:37-40) wherever we are. The focus is often placed on our action or inaction, and the performance or result. But what if practicing our faith could be less about our needs, and more about understanding the needs of others?

Christians may approach their work differently as it relates to mission. Their approach to work and mission can influence their career choices, work objectives, work-life balance, and ultimately the fruit of their work. But regardless of the approach, the call to be salt and light and reach the lost for Christ remains the same for all.

Don’t miss out on why God has placed you where you are! Be open and say yes to God and see what He will do. Be there to listen to your workmates and share with them your experiences of God. Finally, embrace the work and opportunities that God has given to you at this time and be the best steward of those resources that you can be!

We address a few common myths people hold about “calling,” particularly when it comes to work and vocation, through what Scripture has to say.

If work is an integral part of a tentmaker's life and witness, and not just a "passport" to get to the field or a "platform" for ministry, then getting the right job is important. But what constitutes the right job? How do you find that job overseas?

Ramadan, holy month for Muslims, started April 2 and will end on May 1. Pious Ali, a Portland city councilor said, “Some of us can afford to eat three meals a day, but others in the world can’t. By fasting we learn how that feels. By fasting you learn about the privileges God has given you.” Indeed, Muslims devote themselves to practices including fasting, almsgiving, and soul-searching during Ramadan.

Jeremy was a freshman in our 2002 student summer program in China. It opened his eyes to serving overseas. He explored many options for going to China while serving on the missions committee of his home church. But nothing panned out.

This is the new era of digital missions. We are finally harnessing it to bring the witness of our Lord from our Jerusalems, Judeas, and Samarias to the rest of the world.

Digital missions can’t replace the incarnational presence of Christ in all nations. But this approach should be curated to carry the timeless story of God’s love to our world.
