Every Leader Equipped. Every Church Empowered. Every Community Engaged.

The Need Is Urgent.
The Opportunity Is Now.

Around the world, people are coming to faith in Jesus Christ. But in many places, churches are growing faster than leaders are being trained.

Global Action equips local church leaders with biblical training so churches can be strengthened and communities can be transformed.

Rick Thompson On Why The Need Is Urgent

Millions are coming to faith, but many pastors and ministry leaders have never had access to biblical training. This is why Global Action exists: to equip leaders who are already serving their churches and communities.

The Need Is Urgent

The Church Is Growing Faster Than Leaders Are Being Equipped

Christianity continues to grow rapidly throughout the Global South, yet access to biblical training remains limited for many church leaders. The result is a growing leadership gap at a critical moment in the life of the global Church.

Why This Matters

There Is No Shortage Of Opportunity. There Is A Shortage Of Equipped Leaders.

In many hard places, church leaders are already serving faithfully, but they lack access to structured, long-term biblical training. When local leaders are equipped, they stay. They know the language, the culture, the needs, and the people.

Leaders Who Multiply

When leaders are equipped, the impact moves through churches, families, and communities.

The Matthew 9 Initiative

A Pathway Designed To Grow, Deepen, And Multiply

Through Foundations, Formation, and Facilitation, Global Action is building a leadership development pathway that moves beyond one-time training toward long-term multiplication.

Level 1

Foundations

Foundations gives emerging leaders a strong biblical base through core theology, doctrine, leadership basics, and practical ministry training.

Level 2

Formation

Formation helps leaders grow in knowledge, character, and ministry practice through mentoring, reflection, and real-life application.

Level 3

Facilitation

Facilitation prepares mature leaders to train, mentor, and multiply other leaders in their own communities and regions.

Impact Story

Vimbai’s Story Shows Why Training Matters

Vimbai Trust Nelson serves in Zimbabwe, where her rural church faced a deep leadership gap. Through Global Action’s Foundations program, she was strengthened in Scripture, grew in confidence, and became better equipped to serve her church and community.

Vimbai went on to be part of the inaugural Formation program, continuing to grow as a leader who can disciple and encourage others. Her story shows the heart of Global Action’s work: one leader equipped can impact many.

When leaders like Vimbai are equipped, the impact does not stop with them. It moves through churches, families, and communities.
