Mission

The Goals of GDS are:

1. Help empower God's people to fulfill His "Great Commission" by developing the gifts He has given each believer, by providing appropriate opportunities to utilize those gifts and skills, and by assisting with resources to support those opportunities.


2. Enhance the establishment of the Christian community within a specific country through Christian leadership development in six core areas of need and influence.

Six areas of influence are:

1. Christian Discipleship
2. Education
3. Career Development
4. Health Care
5. Economic Development
6. Children's Ministries

All ministries selected by GDS must impact at least one of these areas and most will affect several. By partnering with many such missions in one country, we believe that significant impact can be achieved for that Country's Christian community. Guatemala is the first of our target countries.
