The Great Commission Hub is a ministry focused on fulfilling the assignment that God has called to do, “Go therefore and make disciples!” We are currently developing a prototype for a software platform that could revolutionize the way we connect and engage in this global assignment. We invite you to explore some of our core values, strategies, and structure below, and then spread the word or Engage with us in this exciting new vision!
If you are curious about where the passion comes from and why the renewed focus on The Great Commission, here is a great short video explaining the tremendous need: The State of the World.
VISION
That every individual and local church would seek to live in obedience to its calling in all areas of life. . .
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matt 28:19-20a NIV
OUR MISSION
To Mobilize Every Individual and Local Church for Great Commission Ministry.
TAGLINE
Connecting Resources with Needs to Make Disciples of Jesus.
STRATEGY
We aim to fulfill our mission by awakening and equipping believers and local churches to fully engage in a great commission life, by providing a means of connecting with what God is doing around the world, and by raising up prayer and financial support for missions.
MINISTRY PARTNERSHIPS
The Great Commission HUB is committed to working through the local churches and partnering with mission organizations around the world. Its essential goal is not to be a mission sending agency, nor is it to be a substitute for the role of the church. Rather TGC HUB exists to serve the local church and ministry organizations by helping believers and the body of Christ engage in the work of making disciples of all nations.
MINISTRY STRUCTURE
The Great Commission HUB is essentially a large global network of believers, churches, and organizations linked together, facilitated by volunteers from around the world, served by a staff and board of directors, all within the guidelines of scripture, and the authority, power, and direction of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Great Commission Hub, is a nonprofit ministry currently structured as an affiliate of Partners In Action 501(c)(3) which provides nonprofit incubation and back-office support.
MINISTRY PLATFORM (How it works)
The primary platform for TGC HUB is a network of great commission partnerships supported through a website and mobile app structured around an interactive global map. Individual members, churches, mission organizations, and people living on mission around the world would have access to this web-based central hub. Members can connect through four primary areas, or spokes of the hub. They are: mission partnerships (Connect), prayer requests (Pray), financial needs (Give), and personnel needs (Go). Needs or opportunities in each of these areas follow a similar process through the ministry. Initial needs are submitted through the app/website, evaluated based on certain criteria, approved for publishing, posted as an interactive link on the global map, and then available for response or engagement by other believers and churches around the world. Additionally there is a local side of the platform to serve ministries and local churches that mirrors the global platform. In summary, TGH HUB could be envisioned as the best parts of Facebook, GoFundMe, and Craigslist merging to form a God-honoring, disciple-making, global network that mobilizes God’s people to fulfill the great commission.
MINISTRY FUNDING
The vision of The Great Commission Hub is to be entirely crowd funded. We believe this structure allows the greatest access for believers, churches, and ministries from all around the world. Ministry expenses and software development may also come through donations from churches, corporate sponsors, and foundation contributions. Visit our Engage page to learn more about becoming a development partner in building and sustaining this exciting new ministry.
In addition to crowd funding we are also exploring the possibility for a small percentage of any donations passing through the ministry to go toward funding the platform until their is sufficient crowd funding to cover expenses, at which point the processing fee would be removed. This structure makes it possible for completely FREE access to all users, churches, and organizations!
A certain percentage of all giving toward TGC Hub would also go directly to supporting disciple-making ministry projects around the world (See Missions Giving below). Ministry expenses would be kept low through a significant involvement of volunteers serving remotely from all parts of the world in a variety of capacities.
MISSIONS GIVING
This is crowdfunding at its best! The Missions Giving portion of your contribution is pooled with others to form a powerful funding tool for the sake of the gospel! As financial needs are approved for publishing a certain percentage (ten percent for example) of that need is immediately met from the missions giving fund which functions as seed money to encourage further giving by individuals, churches, and organizations. Additional contributions earmarked for a particular need are then applied to that account until the need is fully met.
