What compels someone to step out of their comfort zone and share the Gospel in the most unexpected of places? For those involved with Global Frontier Missions (GFM), these moments are not just part of the mission; they are the mission.

Through GFM's unwavering commitment to making disciples and mobilizing believers for the Great Commission, countless stories demonstrate how stepping out in obedience can lead to amazing opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Sharing Truth in Unexpected Places

During an outreach opportunity, one group of former GFM students found themselves seated across from an imam in a mosque. The imam asked a question that sparked an extraordinary conversation about faith and our ultimate purpose. 

“What do you think is the point of life?” he inquired.

One GFM student hesitated only briefly before sharing the Gospel, recounting the story of creation to Christ with clarity and courage. It was not the setting typically associated with such conversations, yet the Gospel transcends spaces and invites dialogue, even in the most unexpected of places.

Those students found themselves in deep discussions about life’s ultimate purpose with the imam and elders of the mosque. Their conversations were filled with an exchange of beliefs, perspectives, and heartfelt moments that led to the gentle yet profound sharing of Biblical principles.

“May we pray a blessing over this house?” the students asked with humility. With the imam’s consent, they all prayed together.

One of the mosque elders later admitted, “If the Quran had never been written, I’d believe everything you’re saying.” His openness sparked another opportunity to meet, this time in the intimacy of his home. Here, a continued exchange of ideas through Bible stories and books made space for theological dialogue.

These moments illustrate the heart of GFM’s mission—to equip, empower, and mobilize believers to engage with the unreached, bringing the Gospel message to every corner of the world.

Living Out the Great Commission

For Christians wondering how to be active participants in the Great Commission, stories like this serve as a reminder that God doesn’t always call us to distant lands; often, the mission field is found in neighborhoods and workplaces. 

These conversations echo the Apostle Paul’s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 9:22, "I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some." GFM empowers believers to live this principle by bridging cultural and religious divides to share the hope found only in Christ.

Through GFM’s comprehensive training programs, participants are equipped to respond to God’s call and trust the Holy Spirit for opportunities to share the truth of the Gospel. These efforts are vital considering that 3.3 billion people have yet to hear the Gospel. 

Answering the Call with Bold Faith

What can happen when we step out of our comfort zones and answer the call to share the Gospel?

Whether it’s sharing a meal with an imam, engaging in challenging conversations, or simply planting seeds, God honors our obedience. He moves through and in us, even in our weakness, and provides opportunities to illuminate the truth of His Word. Each story of bold faith serves as a reminder that we are all called to participate in God's redemptive plan.

Be a Part of the Movement

The mission field is vast, and the need is urgent, but you don’t have to do it alone. Through GFM’s Missionary Training School, discipleship resources, and outreach initiatives, you can be empowered to cross-culturally engage in the Great Commission.
