- PROJECTS
Serving in Many Ways!
God’s Church is worldwide, and God’s resources are spread throughout His Church! Sometimes God’s people in one country have just what is needed by God’s people in another country. GLO projects are connected to the places where GLO missionaries live and serve. All projects of Global Lutheran Outreach are sponsored by a GLO missionary or board member. Global Lutheran Outreach does not support free-standing projects.
- SUPPORT
No safety nets!
All of our missionaries are “faith funded”. This means that they depend entirely on God for their support - there is no big bank account someplace that pays the bills. God works through people like you and me, moving us with His passion to “seek and to save the lost”. Listen as the Spirit speaks to you, and generously support our missionaries! - STUDENT MISSION EXPERIENCE
Support Your Missionary
What is your part?
_316x236.png)
In a world where continued population growth means increasing millions are born and die outside the reach of those who give witness to Christ's salvation, sometimes we wonder, "What can I do?"
Though the task seems overwhelming, we remember it is God who is at work and who keeps sending forth his people. But as members of the Body of Christ, you and I have our various parts to play as God is at work. Are you the one to GO? Or perhaps God is calling you to help others to go. How can they go unless they are supported?
Form a Mission Circle and Adopt a Missionary!
A mission circle is a group of Christians who gather regularly to learn about mission from God's Word, pray for their missionary, and support both local and global missions through their offerings and actions. Mission circles are lay-led mission discovery and support groups. Each mission circle sets their own schedule and chooses their own missionary to adopt.

- Missionaries are sustained in their service by those who faithfully labor in prayer alongside the one who is sent.
- Missionaries are also enabled to serve by those who employ their gifts in order to make the missionary service possible.

HIGHLIGHT: Some missionaries particularly needing your help
As GLO seeks to serve Lutheran missions by facilitating the sending of missionaries from anywhere in the world, the economic disparities between countries mean that capable and dedicated missionaries from poorer regions often need the support of brothers and sisters from wealthier regions. You can meet them by clicking on their names below and consider if God would have you become part of their support team. . . upholding, encouraging, and partnering in the Gospel!
