Purpose
We are a movement that transplants communities of global denizens, who in solidarity with the poor and marginalized, embody the ethics of justice and freedom to bring about societal transformation where education and autonomy exist for all, without discrimination. We do not value popular American ideals associated with violence, domination, neocolonialism and the attitude that the country has favored nation status with God and is unaccountable to the voice of the global community. Instead, as an educated community who values the preservation of life as governed by the ethical teachings of the bible, we will empower global citizens to implement the justice of God in their societies, through non-violent activity focused on education and capacity development of the poor and marginalized, as demonstrated in the life and message of Jesus of Nazareth.
Mission statement
Equipping a globally conscious community to serve the poor and marginalized through education, advocacy and empowerment, without discrimination, demonstrating unconditional love.
Statement of faith
Members Of The Organization Of Global Outreach Developments International Believe...
The Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
That for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of condemnation.
In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

History
From 1995 to present, G.O.D. Int'l has been focusing its activities, developing its capacity, and making efficient its processes to serve the poor and marginalized. Initially based out of Antioch, we began in just a few office spaces developing educational initiatives, community service efforts, and sending missions groups abroad. Since then, GOD Nashville has grown to expand over 40 Acres in Hopewell Neighborhood in Old Hickory, TN and established 4 Headquarter locations in Uganda, El Salvador, India, and The Philippines.
Though our work is in five regions of the world, the ONE team mentality allows us to coordinate our resources to enact our mission globally, on a local level. Our most valuable resource being the human one, rigorous training and years of shared experiences between team members has enhanced our network so that recipients of our services receive not only the benefit of the few positioned to serve in their local area, but also the resource of knowledge and experience found in the global network of our ONE team.
