Merry Christmas from our Global Advance family!
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” - Isaiah 9:6
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, will you give a Christmas gift that will take the gospel to the darkest areas of the world? Your prayers and financial support are vital to igniting changemakers who are peace bearers in their nations, proclaiming the gospel where it has yet to be heard.
Thank you for making an eternal impact!
May the peace of Jesus fill your hearts this season.
Most of us will never experience walking up to 15 hours across mountainous terrain…
Yet this is the reality for many pastors in Nepal who are passionate about receiving tools + training to plant churches in the most difficult-to-reach regions of the nation.
Less than 3% of the population in Nepal are Christ followers. It is illegal to convert Nepali citizens from their birth religion - most follow Hinduism + Buddhism - which makes evangelism extremely difficult.
Against the odds, 48 devout followers of Christ made the treacherous journey along the Tibetan border to receive this extremely unique and rare opportunity to be equipped to plant churches in the region. Due to the challenging terrain and language barriers, countless communities across Nepal have been without access to the gospel for generations... until now. This training ignited church leaders to link arms, build relationships, and plant churches in these remote villages!
In less than a month post-training, 3 churches have already been planted! Click below to join in on the celebration!
Because of you, courageous frontline leaders in 12 nations are taking steps to reach the unreached, but there's still work to do. Thank you for playing your part to ignite changemakers who are changing the world!
When we sow seeds that result in souls, we are sure to live lives of significance! Your contribution matters, and right now you can...
DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!
Through the month of June, your giving will be matched up to $100,000!
Will you prayerfully consider investing in the ministry of Global Advance so, together, we can ignite changemakers to fulfill the Great Commission? You have the opportunity to make a significant impact for eternity, and your financial participation will propel our ongoing ability to be a supply line to catalytic leaders on the front lines!

The David Shibley Institute Goes Regional
We recently hosted our very first regional DSI in South Asia, and we believe this is just the beginning!
If you're wondering what The David Shibley Institute is all about, we've got you covered! The David Shibley Institute, or DSI, is a year-long training community, which includes a two-week, in-person interactive learning experience. Select global leaders receive personal mentoring by Founder David Shibley, the Global Advance team, and other influential missional leaders, and are trained in the mission, vision, and values of Global Advance. This leadership institute is a significant part of a broad vision to raise up national leaders who will execute kingdom strategies to see the Great Commission fulfilled! Watch the video above to hear a powerful testimony from one of our 2022 DSI delegates…
