GLINTS exists to accelerate the global advance of the Gospel by deploying global staff, empowering in partner ministries worldwide, equipping the local church to send out their own and to provide humanitarian care during times of crisis and emergency. Global Intercultural Services seeks to accelerate the global advance of the Gospel in three ways: deployment of global staff, building capacity in global partner-ministries and equipping of the local church in missions-sending. The current environment calls for innovative paradigms for Great Commission engagement to address 21st century realities, including: raising a new generation of senders and goers, the increasing global resistance and hostility towards the message of the Gospel and its messengers, and the local church’s lack of involvement in the full scope of the Great Commission.
