Why GUM?
One person fishing alone and a united fleet’s collective catch are different. When resources and strength are combined, tasks can be accomplished more effectively. Global United Mission avoids unnecessary competition and redundant investments, working together for the Kingdom of God.
Our Goals
We are dedicated to transforming the way mission work is carried out by leveraging the vast potential of social media. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the demand for missionary work in various fields and the supply of passionate individuals and communities ready to serve.
Benefits
Mission Participation Opportunities By providing united short-term mission programs (e.g., music, medical, education, sports, etc.), team mission work is possible with members from various churches who have different gifts. Activation of Local Church Missions Through GUM’s mission school and long/short-term mission training, we awaken mission awareness in local churches and activate mission work. Mission Resource Network Through joint mission training and short-term mission programs, we mobilize mission resources, identify mission candidates, and assess the mission resources of each local church. By building a network of human and material resources, we prepare effectively to meet the needs of mission fields.
