Bridging Worlds for Jesus

United States

Learn how Global Mission Centers operate in the three Mission Refocus windows: the 10/40 Window, the Post-Christian Window, and the Urban Window.

In a world of countless beliefs and non-beliefs, where ancient traditions meet modern skepticism, where bustling cities and remote villages each speak different languages of the soul—how do we truly connect with people for Jesus?

The answer lies where faith meets context, where Scripture speaks to culture, and where hope becomes a lived experience.

Six Global Mission Centers serve to help us better understand and more effectively share the Adventist message with people from vastly different worldviews—people who don’t share our belief in the Bible as a sacred, inspired book.

The centers help us meet people where they are, with truth wrapped in understanding.

The six Global Mission Centers focus on our greatest mission challenges—the three Mission Refocus Windows—the 10/40 Window, the Post-Christian Window, and the Urban Window.

Each center shares the same mission foundation—Christ’s Method of Ministry. This wholistic mission approach calls us to mingle with people, show sympathy, minister to needs, win confidence, and bid them to follow Jesus.

In a complex, fractured world, the Global Mission Centers serve as mission workshops producing new resources and honing new methods. Let’s continue to pray for them as they help us transcend cultural and worldview barriers, one intentional relationship at a time.

You can support their work by giving to Global Mission. And if you’d like to learn more—or find ways to use these centers’ resources in your own ministry—visit GlobalMissionCenters.org.
