What exactly does Mission Global do?
Mission Global exists to help Canadian churches fulfill the Great Commission. Through sending, training, and supporting PAOC global workers, we aim to reach the least-reached and serve the most vulnerable with the hope of Jesus.
“We glorify God in our going and in our sending.”

Who are our Global Workers and where do they serve?
PAOC Global Workers serve in diverse regions around the world—from urban cities to rural villages—working in church planting, evangelism, leadership training, and community development. Some are in sensitive contexts (RAN), where secure communication is vital.

What is the PAOC’s mission strategy?
PAOC’s mission strategy focuses on:
Reaching: Spreading the gospel in regions with little or no access to the message of Christ.
Church planting: Establishing new churches, especially in underserved or unreached areas.
Caring: Providing aid to communities facing extreme poverty, natural disasters, or other crises.
Equipping: Training and empowering local leaders to carry out sustainable ministry and growth.

How can we build a relationship beyond just sending money?
Stay in regular contact: Ask workers to send newsletters every 2 months, do annual video calls, and keep your missions board updated with new photos.
Recognize life moments: Birthdays and anniversaries go a long way. Simple gestures create lasting connection.
Visit in person: Plan short-term trips or pastoral visits to encourage your worker on the ground (with guidance from Mission Global if in a sensitive RAN area).
Include them in church life: Invite them to conferences, services, podcasts, or even your church newsletter when appropriate.
