“And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
A Year in Review
As we celebrate the 26th year of ministry at global(×), our hearts once again overflow with gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose. Each year we embark on a mission: to engage people on a faith-building journey to serve others around the world so that all people can encounter and know the love of Jesus. We invite you to join us as we reflect on the impact we have made as we’ve come together and aligned on this mission in 2023.
Because of the unwavering and courageous commitment of our dedicated long-term missionaries, partners, journey participants, and supporters who have answered the call to be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, a light has been shown, seeds planted, prayers answered, challenges overcome, communities uplifted, and hearts transformed.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you who has played a role in serving alongside our partners and long-term missionaries, bringing an added beacon of hope into the communities and lives of those your journey touched. Your prayers, support, and sacrificial contributions have built upon the progress of the past and have helped multiply the miraculous and transformational power of Jesus we continue to witness all around the world.
As we look at this past year, may it be a source of inspiration and a reminder of the profound impact we can make when we unite under the banner of Christ's love and example. Together, we are not just a ministry; we are a family on a mission, empowered by faith and driven by a passion to make a lasting and eternal difference in people’s lives all around the world.
Gratefully,
Laura Bailey
Director of global(×)

When asked what global(×) participants loved most about short-term journeys, here’s what they said.
Long-Term Missionaries
Global(×) prepares, guides, equips, and encourages our long-term missionaries as they inspire people to follow Jesus wherever they serve in the world. Each of our 22 long-term missionaries has committed to at least two years of international service. They serve in 14 countries around the world, planting churches, offering hope, providing encouragement and support, building community, and sharing the gospel.
Some of our long-term missionaries serve in countries that, for their safety and security, we're not able to disclose.
