Global City Mission Initiative (GCMI) is a disciple-making ministry serving in internationally diverse metropolitan areas.  We are making disciples at the world’s crossroads.

Vision: To see disciple-making initiatives in strategic global cities around the world starting in North America.

Role Description
The Mission Catalyst is the missionary worker within Global City.  As missionaries, you will share the gospel, develop evangelistic friendships, plant discipleship communities (ie., house churches, discovery groups), and facilitate disciple making. You are meeting people where are in life and representing Jesus in diverse metropolitan areas.

• Self-initiate ethnographic learning and discovering strategic inroads into specific cultural context(s).
• Intentionally & personally initiate cross-cultural evangelism and build evangelistic friendships.
• Apply multiplication strategies, planting discovery groups & simple church communities, forming disciples who in turn disciple others, and developing indigenous leadership.  
• Apply contextual, incarnational approaches to disciple-making, planting, & mulitplying communities of faith.
• Be attentive to opportunities for evangelistic engagement or leadership development in the homelands of international friends through relational flows from global cities.   
• Local strategy may include training & mobilizing local believers within their communities. 
• As a member of a missionary network, participate in Global City activities & communications.   
• Share monthly ministry updates and participate in annual review.  
• Communicate potential ministry partnership or mobilization opportunities with mobilization leadership. 

Qualities & Characteristics

• Mission Catalysts practice self-leadership. While collaborating through intermittent interactions, you should be self-initiating and self-managing in day-to-day ministry.  
• Mission Catalysts should be learners. GCMI will provide training & guidance. Each missionary walks through a base minimum training through online modules, and we encourage Catalysts to continue learning & developing beyond the base minimum. These modules are identified as the “base minimum”, and the expectation is that each Catalyst is active learner beyond the minimum.  
• Mission Catalysts should have alignment with the Global City’s Philosophy of Ministry. 
• Mission Catalysts should be committed to prayer and to their own spiritual health. 
• Each team member participates in a minimal team contribution.  

Note:  As a mission organization, Global City invites both fully-funded and bivocational missionaries to apply. Mission Catalysts will raise financial partners if planning to serve in a full-time capacity. 

Cities

We currently have team members in Philadelphia, Tampa, Phoenix, Orlando, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, as well as other metro areas. There is a need for additional Mission Catalysts in these cities. Have a heart for a particular city or people group? Start in a new city.
