This spotlight article on local Christian charitable organizations is about Global Opportunities for Christ.

Want to make a difference in this world?

You can do that through Global Opportunities for Christ, a mission organization located in Charlottesville, Virginia.  Their mission is to:

  1. Advocate for effective Christian ministries overseas, primarily in poorer countries and areas of persecution that are spreading the gospel, planting churches, making disciples, building up the Body of Christ, reaching their nations, and assisting the poor and the oppressed.
  2. Advise those with resources who want to invest in effective kingdom initiatives that will make a significant impact for Christ.

Their strategy is to:

  • Invest in effective Christian leaders and ministries that are winning people to Christ, establishing churches and training workers.
  • Promote leadership development through resourcing training conferences, discipleship programs and scholarships for Bible school students.
  • Empower national leaders by providing for special projects such as four-wheel drive vehicles, motor scooters, bicycles, computer equipment, meeting places, micro-business investments, and training materials.
  • Assist the poor and the oppressed, including widows, orphans and street kids.
