GLOBAL CATALYTIC MINISTRIES 
Welcome to Global Catalytic Ministries (GCM), a mission dedicated to spreading the Gospel in the world’s most deadly places through Disciple-Making Movements (DMM).

HOW WE OPERATE: A UNIFIED APPROACH
Rather than working in isolation, we believe in a unified body where every role plays a crucial part in advancing God’s kingdom in every nation, tribe, and tongue. Using a military analogy, we explain how we function together:

THE UNITY OF EPHESIANS 4
Just as a well-coordinated humanitarian effort works in different roles to bring lasting change, the body of Christ functions in unity to advance His Kingdom. Each role plays a vital part in spiritual transformation, ensuring that communities are strengthened, restored, and sustained.

1. 1. 1. Ground Preparers (Worshipers): Worship shifts the spiritual atmosphere and breaks down barriers, much like how humanitarian teams create environments of hope and healing in communities before deeper restoration work begins.
      2. Barrier Breakers (Intercessors): Intercessors focus on prayer to remove spiritual obstacles, just as humanitarian advocates and crisis response teams work to address systemic challenges and clear the way for transformation.
      3. Frontline Workers (Disciple-Makers): These individuals go into communities, share the gospel, and disciple new believers, similar to humanitarian field teams who engage directly with people to bring relief, support, and sustainable solutions.
      4. Community Builders (Shepherds): Shepherds nurture and strengthen new believers, ensuring spiritual growth and sustainability, just as development workers invest in long-term community health and stability.

THE GCM STRUCTURE
GCM operates through 4 councils (Worship, Intercession, Disciple-making, Shepherding), 8 regional teams of the world (North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, Europe, Russia/Asia, and Oceania), with 12 Regional Representatives who serve within each of the 8 regions. Each representative (96 total) plays a unique role in equipping and supporting disciple-makers all over the world so that we accomplish not only the Great Commissions of Jesus but also the Great Commandment. We call this Moment to Movements.

If you feel called to worship, intercede, make disciples, or shepherd others, GCM is a place where you can serve, grow, and thrive within a global movement. We don’t elevate one gift above another but emphasize how they work together to edify the body of Christ.

We believe that every believer is called to be a disciple who makes disciples, and each gift from God is meant to strengthen and equip others. While we all grow in these areas, some are uniquely gifted in specific roles that help build up and unify the global church.

REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES VS. COUNCILS

At GCM, we operate with two interconnected leadership structures: Regional Representatives and Councils. Each plays a vital role in our mission but functions in different capacities. If you get selected for a regional team, then you automatically take a spot on your particular council that is based on your gifting. 

While Regional Representatives focus on contextualizing and implementing the mission locally, the Councils focus on shaping and refining the global mission. Together, these two structures ensure that GCM remains both globally unified and regionally adaptable—fueling a disciple-making movement that grows at the edges, not the center.

Regional Representatives

These are leaders within each region who contextualize and implement GCM’s global mission locally. Each region has 12 representatives, divided into four roles:

• • • 3 Disciple-Makers – Frontline evangelists and church planters.
    • 3 Intercessors – Strategic prayer warriors interceding for their region.
    • 3 Shepherds – Pastoral figures ensuring disciple-makers and churches are nurtured.
    • 3 Worshipers – Worship leaders and culture-shapers who encourage and nurture the praise of that region.

Role:

• • • Act as the voice of the underground or aboveground church, relaying needs, challenges, and victories.
    • Equip and support disciple-makers in their regions.
    • Ensure GCM’s global vision is effectively contextualized within their specific culture and challenges.
    • Vote among themselves to elect one representative per region to serve on the Global Directional Team so their region has a voice on GCM’s central team.

Councils

The Councils bring together representatives from all 8 regions, organized by gifting rather than geography (Disciple-Makers, Intercessors, Shepherds, and Worshipers). Their purpose is to create and refine GCM’s global DNA.

• • • Disciple-Making Council: The Disciple-Making Council is dedicated to developing and refining disciple-making strategies to ensure that multiplication remains at the core of GCM. This involves equipping leaders, creating practical training resources, and ensuring biblical disciple-making principles are upheld across all regions. The council also works to identify, adapt, and contextualize effective models and best practices that fuel disciple-making movements worldwide. The goal is to cultivate a multiplication mindset, where every disciple becomes a disciple-maker, leading to sustained and exponential growth of the Kingdom.
    • Intercessor Council: The Intercessor Council emphasizes the necessity of living by the voice of God, making it a foundational practice for believers and essential to the mission of disciple-making. Biblical intercession involves standing in the gap (Ezekiel 22:30) by praying on behalf of individuals, communities, regions, and nations, as led by God. This sacred responsibility reflects Christ’s role as mediator (1 Timothy 2:5) and aligns with God’s will through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:26–27). Intercessors pray for repentance (Daniel 9:3–5), healing (James 5:16), deliverance (Exodus 32:11–14), and spiritual breakthrough (Ephesians 6:18), playing a crucial role in displacing strongholds, confronting demonic opposition, and mediating on behalf of others, including People of Peace but not exclusively. As a unified body, the Intercessor Council is called to establish a movement of prayer warriors dedicated to seeking the fulfillment of God’s will on earth. Council members must reflect Christ’s nature, demonstrating scriptural integrity, full surrender to Christ, and obedience to God’s Word. Their intercession, rooted in Scripture, embodies God’s heart for humanity while waging spiritual warfare against both supernatural and physical opposition. Living by God’s voice requires intercessors to seek new instructions daily, aligning their prayers with God’s will, promises, and redemptive plans for their regions. They incorporate thanksgiving, confession, and petitions, calling on the Lord for supernatural intervention, holy protection, and strength in times of grief or spiritual warfare. Through their efforts, intercessors drive kingdom advancement, creating shifts in both spiritual and earthly realms by tearing down strongholds and opposition, ensuring that God’s purposes prevail.
    • Shepherd Council: The Shepherd Council will serve as a guiding and pastoral leadership body, contending for spiritual health, strategic alignment, and care across the movement. Comprised of 24 Shepherd representatives—three from each of the eight world regions—the council functions as a network of seasoned disciple-makers who work predominantly with DBS groups that have become house churches, comprised of baptized believers and will actively provide encouragement and support to leaders in the multiplication of house churches. They will meet regularly to pray, discern, and address challenges while upholding the movement’s core values. The Shepherd Council will develop and gather a core curriculum to ensure new believers grow into spiritual maturity. As a council, they will work to foster deep relationships and unity across the regions, share best practices, and safeguard the biblical integrity of multiplying disciples worldwide.
    • Worship Council: The Worship Council focuses on preparing the spiritual atmosphere of a region for a disciple-making movement through worship. As priests before the Lord, we have the responsibility to build spiritual altars that invite His presence and establish His rule in spiritually dark regions. Our goal is to “ascend” in worship where we can then minister TO the Lord and encounter His heart for the places we are ministering in. From there we are postured to then minister WITH the Lord through prophetic worship where we take the intercession of Jesus and come into agreement with it through our songs, music, and various forms of expression. As we do this, we in turn engage in spiritual warfare in regions not by battling principalities but by exalting Jesus through our worship and thus establishing Him as the principality and power in a given region. This will lead to more open doors and more open access to plant seeds of the gospel, look for persons of peace, and see catalytic disciple-making movements in cities, regions, and nations. The council equips and supports musicians, songwriters, and worship leaders across regions, ensuring that worship fuels disciple-making movements and releases a sound of revival to the nations.

• • • General Role:

• • • Develop the global curriculum, theology, and disciple-making strategy.
    • Wrestle through complex theological and strategic topics to ensure unity and maturity that’s based on scripture and not our stream of influence or culture.

• • • Establish the spiritual DNA for all regions so that disciple-making movements remain biblically sound and Holy Spirit-led.
    • We want our identity to be rooted not in what we do for God, but in who He is. Our goal is not just to claim the name of Jesus, but to reflect His very character in all that we do.  

WHAT COMMITMENT LOOKS LIKE

Becoming a Representative is not just about joining an organization, it’s about stepping into family and mission. This commitment involves:

     1. Being Engaged in the Mission

• • • Living as a disciple-maker in your context, regardless of your specific role.
    • Committing to unity, spiritual maturity, family, and a lifestyle of obedience to Jesus.

     2. Participating in Regular Gatherings

Our meetings serve as a foundation for collaboration, encouragement, and alignment with the vision of GCM. The general meeting schedule is:

• • • Biweekly Regional Representative Meetings (60-90min): Focus on equipping, contextualizing, and serving local disciple-makers in your region.
    • Biweekly Council Meetings (60-90min): Centered on refining curriculum, theology, and strategic disciple-making processes for the GCM global body.
    • Monthly Global Call (120 min): This call is with all GCM staff and volunteers where we hear from our brothers and sisters around the world, hear stories of what God is doing and encourage and pray for one another. 
    • Regional Signal Thread: Coach and build relationships with disciples in your region. 
    • Monthly Global Directional Team Meetings (for those elected to serve): A space for shaping the broader movement and ensuring effective support for all regions.

     3. Carrying the DNA of GCM

• • • We multiply disciples who make disciples, not build institutions.
    • We exalt our brother above ourselves because Jesus came to serve, not to be served.
    • Our focus is on equipping and releasing, not controlling or containing.
    • We hold to a centralized message (Jesus and His Kingdom) but operate decentralized, empowering leaders to run with the Spirit.
    • We don’t just “help” the underground church, we are the underground church, learning from and running with one another.
    • GCM was birthed from and continues to be led by those who live the cost of disciple-making in some of the hardest places on earth.
    • We believe movements should be Holy Spirit-driven, not confined to a single method. However, rooted in Jesus’ three commissions, we use Disciple-Making Movements (DMM) as a strategic approach.
    • Our goal is to equip and release leaders who multiply disciples without reliance on central control.
    • Disciple-making often involves suffering, but we embrace the cost.
    • Our leaders carry the DNA of surrender, perseverance, and radical faith, knowing that the way of Jesus always leads through the cross before the crown.
    • We first embrace the Great Commandment so that we can truly live out the Great Commission, turning moments into movements.
    • We endure with unwavering faith, motivated by the return of Jesus, Maranatha!

By joining, you are committing to a life of disciple-making, prayer, worship, and shepherding, standing together with a family that is running hard after Jesus in some of the most difficult places on earth. If we unify under Jesus, our love will be unstoppable.

YOU’VE BEEN INVITED—BECAUSE YOU BELONG

If you’re reading this, it means one of our coaches sees something in you, they believe you are ready to step into family with us. We’re not looking for workers; we’re looking for brothers and sisters, people we can trust and run with as we take on some of the hardest challenges in the hardest places.

At GCM, we are trying to approach things differently, a ministry that grows at the edges, not the center. This is a place where you have the freedom to run with the Lord, not alone, but together. We don’t believe in a system of control and containment, but in a movement that equips and releases, where a centralized message fuels decentralized action.

We invite you to join this global disciple-making movement, where every role matters, and where, unified as one body, we bring the gospel to the nations.
