GLOBAL PARTNERS
Our strategy to reach the world involves pursing relationships with our community, and beyond, and sharing the Gospel in word and action. All of the global partners below help us build relationships and share the Gospel in word and action.
The Southern Baptist Convention is a collection of like-minded churches working in cooperation with one another to impact the whole world with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
The mission of the International Mission Board is evangelizing, discipling and planting reproducing churches among all peoples in fulfillment of the Great Commission. And, the vision of the IMB is a multitude from every language, people, tribe and nation, knowing and worshipping our Lord, Jesus Christ. *Supported directly through Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
The North American Mission Board exists to partner with churches, associations, and state conventions in mobilizing Southern Baptists as a missional force to impact North America with the gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism, church planting and compassion ministry. We accomplish that through Send Network, our national church planting strategy, and Send Relief, our national compassion ministry strategy. *Supported directly through Annie Armstrong Easter Offering
Based in Jeremie, Haiti (120 miles west of Port-au-Prince), our ministry focuses on empowering indigenous Haitian leaders through leadership development. This is done through discipleship, local church involvement, education community development and short-term missions. Our approach is highly relational and focuses on the most isolated and poverty stricken parts of western Haiti. We also have a heart to provide relief through meeting physical needs such as providing shelter or intervening for healthcare.
Our church currently supports missionaries who are serving in a closed country halfway around the world. The risk is great but the reward has been greater, and the team is making a huge impact for Jesus in the face of adverse conditions. Please join us in prayer for this team that God would continue to keep them safe and work through them in a mighty way!
Crystalyn Wyatt (Former Member & Intern) - My first mission trip with GEM was to Rome, Italy, where I led a team of students from North Greenville University. What we encountered was a beautiful, historic city where many churches had become architectural landmarks rather than places of worship. Through conversations with people on the streets, it became clear that much of Europe is post-Christian and deeply in need of the gospel. Those experiences reshaped my understanding of missions and stirred a lasting burden for Europe. Since then, I’ve continued serving with GEM across Europe, bringing teams to places like England and Kosovo. I’m excited to join what God is already doing in Kosovo!
