What Is GMO?

Millions of people around the world are searching for God. In response, Global Media Outreach (GMO), a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ International, wants to send you ... to your computer, training you to become an online missionary out of your home! GMO boasts a growing volunteer force of 2,400 online missionaries—ordinary folks just like you, recruited from churches around the world—who typically spend just a few minutes every day online, replying securely and anonymously to questions posted by seekers. One man who came to faith in Christ through GMO says, “I log on every time I want to understand spiritual matters further. I sense sincerity in my prayers, and I am able to surrender completely to God. This must be experienced to be believed.” GMO’s goal is to give everyone on earth 5 to 10 opportunities to know Christ by 2020. Northland is partnering with GMO by providing volunteers, along with resources that will equip anyone to start a “Simple Church” (also known as a “House Church”). What an amazing opportunity to help people and build God’s Kingdom! Want to learn more? Watch the video “An Introduction to Online Missions” on this page.

How Can I Help?

People are looking for answers. And, not surprisingly, they are looking for those answers on the internet. In fact, about 3 million online searches are made daily that are of a spiritual nature (e.g. “I need God,” “Who is Jesus?”). GMO has created 90 themed Web sites to correspond with those searches. There are sites in every major language on a wide variety of topics: from GodLovesMarines.com to WhoIsJesus-Really.com. More than 225,000 people visit one of GMO’s sites every day. Of those, 30,000 click a button, indicating that they have made a decision for Christ. And 6,000 to 7,000 people every day ask to be contacted about their decision. Every person receives a personal contact. That’s where you come in! Ready to sign up as an Online Missionary? Click here to get started.
