Our Mission.

Inspiring. Assisting. Connecting.

Strengthening mission by supporting church‑sent workers around the world.

How we do this

The foundation behind all we do.

GC3 strengthens mission by supporting church-sent workers around the world. We walk alongside Mission Partners with practical care, pastoral support, and financial stewardship so they can focus on the work God has called them to do.

Through global partnerships, donor engagement, and clear communication, GC3 helps churches and individuals stay connected to the people they send, pray for, and support.

Our role is simple but significant: to make mission sustainable, relational, and well-supported - for the long lasting and positive impact.

GC3 serves as a mission support agency for churches and their Mission Partners. We aim to support sending mission agencies and strengthen the connection between churches, mission organisations, and Mission Partners . We provide pastoral care, financial stewardship, practical systems, and communication support. Our heart is to ensure every Mission Partner is well supported, every church is well connected, and every supporter can confidently participate in global mission.

What we believe
