Called:
Discover Your Role in God's Global Mission
For far too long Christians have divided themselves into two camps when it comes to God’s global mission: the select few who are called to it and everybody else. While it is good for us to pray for and commission those whom God has called to go to specific people and places, we also need to recognize that God has called each and every one of us to play a unique role in His global mission.
God may call you to go. But if he doesn’t, what strategic actions has He called you to in order to be a part of reaching the nations with the Gospel? That’s what this conference is all about. Here at Peninsula Community Chapel and in our surrounding community, there are numerous things you can do to make an eternal and global impact.
You can learn more about other people groups who have yet to receive the Gospel.
You can pray for God to build His church among all peoples.
You can send our Global Ministry Partners to the nations by providing financial and prayer support.
You can go and visit our Global Ministry Partners on short-term trips in order to encourage them and be a help to their work.
You can mobilize others to learn about God’s global mission and embrace their unique calling.
You can welcome people from other nations who have migrated here and become our neighbors.
God is on the move, bringing people from every tribe, tongue, and nation to saving faith in Him. He wants you to play a role in that. Join us this week to discover your role.

More About Global Ministry at PCC
Global Ministry Team (GMT):
Because we believe so deeply in God calling us to global ministry, especially in the unreached areas of the world, PCC’s Global Ministry Team strives to educate, motivate, and equip our congregation to play a part in what God is doing on a global scale. We oversee the sending and supporting of our Global Ministry Partners and our annual short-term trips. Our Global Ministry Team includes: Abby Brocklesby, Carol Bryant, Charlie Carmichael (Chair), Mabel Kenney, Jenny Kinter, Mark Shaw, Garrett Spitz (Pastor of Global Ministry), and Sarah Touchet.
Task Forces:
Our Global Ministry Task Forces exist to help focus the congregation of PCC on what God is calling the church to do to establish and strengthen local churches among unreached people groups around the world. We have three task forces with this specific focus, including the Central Asia Task Force, the Kenya Task Force, and the M-People Advocacy Team. We also have a separate team focused more broadly on providing care for all our Global Ministry Partners.
Global Partners & Advocates:
Global Partners are people that we formally send out to engage in intentional vocational ministry. There are two classifications of Global Partners: Primary and Associate. Primary Global Partners receive greater levels of support from PCC and submit to more significant levels of accountability than Associate Global Partners. We currently support 42 Global Partners who are doing ministry in over 12 different countries spread across 6 continents. Half of our Global Partners are Primary and half are Associate. Additionally, every Global Partner has an official Advocate here at PCC who serves as a vital link between the congregation and the Global Partner, whether they are on the other side of the world or here locally.
