Missionary Catalyst

About Global Gates

Global Gates is a missionary organization that exists to introduce unreached people groups to the love of Jesus. We do this through reaching people who live in the diaspora (away from their home countries), assisting them in growing in their understanding of Jesus, and coming alongside them to take the beautiful message of Jesus and plant churches back in their homelands. We are reaching the ends of the earth through global gateway cities.

Global Gates is non-denominational and holds to the Lausanne Covenant as our statement of faith. We unite around a shared desire to fulfill the Great Commission in this generation! As such, our missionaries may have differing opinions on secondary and tertiary issues. What most unites us is our belief in salvation by Christ alone and a desire to make him known to all peoples.

Our Core Values

  • Prioritization. We prioritize ministry to unreached people groups.
  • Migration. We work through global gateway cities that act as connector (to UPGs living in the diaspora), and as gateways (through relational lines) to the most restricted areas of the world.
  • Multiplication. We prioritize methods and models that work through Christ-centered relationships to multiply disciples, leaders, and churches. These are best driven by indigenous leaders and locally-led expressions of God’s multiplying kingdom.
  • Catalyzation. We catalyze Kingdom Movements through research, data-driven insights, and resources to inspire the spread of gospel movements.
  • Collaboration. We actively seek strategic partnerships that will maximize the collective impact, exemplify Christian unity, and expand Christ’s Kingdom to the ends of the earth.

Job Description Summary

A Global Gates’ Missionary Catalyst serves as a frontline missionary with an unreached people group. Each missionary catalyst’s role is shaped by their unique skills and calling, aligned with the strategy to reach the people group. Missionary Catalysts may be the primary person(s) implementing the overall strategy for a people group in a specific city or may play a more specific role on a large team (overseeing social media outreach, volunteer coordination, or other tasks identified by the Strategy Coordinator).

The Missionary Catalyst role is more than a hands-on ministry position. Each catalyst will mobilize, inspire, and train others to join the efforts to reach their specific unreached people group so that a movement of disciples and churches is birthed among the group.
