Merry Christmas From Our Global Advance Family to Yours!
As we celebrate the birth of Christ, let us remember the greatest mission ever given—the call to bring the light of the gospel to the world.
Because of your partnership, catalytic frontline leaders across the nations are igniting kingdom transformation—both spiritually and economically—bringing hope where it’s needed most!
As we reflect on this year and look to the next, we are filled with gratitude and anticipation for what God has in store. Would you consider giving a Christmas gift that will help ignite changemakers worldwide to fulfill the Great Commission? Together, we can advance God's Kingdom far beyond what we could ever do alone.
We are grateful for your prayers and financial partnership. May the love and light of Christ fill your heart this season and throughout the coming year.
Igniting Sustainability, Generosity, + Gospel Impact in Africa!
During the Marketplace Summit, leaders from each nation shared how discipleship and resources provided through Kingdom Business Networks have transformed their lives and businesses. They are enlarging their faith, embracing their business as a ministry, and equipping others to make and mobilize disciples in the workplace!

With God All Things Are Possible!
With Great Commission vision + tools imparted through the David Shibley Institute, Pastor Daniel planted a church in a refugee camp in Uganda. Now he and his wife are discipling over 100 children daily through a local school!
Thanks to partners like YOU, we’re igniting changemakers worldwide who are making + multiplying disciples in some of the hardest-to-reach places. Thank you for giving the gospel!
It’s More Than Just Business
Global Advance is igniting marketplace leaders and building Kingdom Business Networks worldwide to bring spiritual + economic transformation! As the poorest nation in the world, Burundi is in great need of businessmen + women who desire to grow in their faith and build redemptive businesses.
Alongside local changemakers, our Global Advance team visited with entrepreneurs, business leaders, pastors, and even government officials to offer vision + strategy for Kingdom Business Networks and the impact they will have across the nation. In this video, President Jonathan Shibley shares how one Burundi KBN is making a profound outward impact for the gospel’s advance…
Most of us will never experience walking up to 15 hours across mountainous terrain…
Yet this is the reality for many pastors in Nepal who are passionate about receiving tools + training to plant churches in the most difficult-to-reach regions of the nation.
Less than 3% of the population in Nepal are Christ followers. It is illegal to convert Nepali citizens from their birth religion - most follow Hinduism + Buddhism - which makes evangelism extremely difficult.
Against the odds, 48 devout followers of Christ made the treacherous journey along the Tibetan border to receive this extremely unique and rare opportunity to be equipped to plant churches in the region. Due to the challenging terrain and language barriers, countless communities across Nepal have been without access to the gospel for generations... until now. This training ignited church leaders to link arms, build relationships, and plant churches in these remote villages!
In less than a month post-training, 3 churches have already been planted! Click below to join in on the celebration!
Because of you, courageous frontline leaders in 12 nations are taking steps to reach the unreached, but there's still work to do. Thank you for playing your part to ignite changemakers who are changing the world!

The David Shibley Institute Goes Regional
We recently hosted our very first regional DSI in South Asia, and we believe this is just the beginning!
If you're wondering what The David Shibley Institute is all about, we've got you covered! The David Shibley Institute, or DSI, is a year-long training community, which includes a two-week, in-person interactive learning experience. Select global leaders receive personal mentoring by Founder David Shibley, the Global Advance team, and other influential missional leaders, and are trained in the mission, vision, and values of Global Advance. This leadership institute is a significant part of a broad vision to raise up national leaders who will execute kingdom strategies to see the Great Commission fulfilled!
