Summary

We are a part of the Iranian awakening which is the fastest growing church in the world in one of the most unexpected and radicalized nations on earth. Our rapidly reproducing discipleship movement that owns no property or buildings, has no central leadership, and has been sweeping the Middle East for over 10 years. There are two documentaries about us called "Sheep Among Wolves Vol. 1 & 2". Within these documentaries, you'll hear from our leaders from the underground church and what they have gone through, as they are the sheep among the wolves. We believe the Lord is broadcasting this message on our behalf to prepare the Body of Christ for the coming days ahead.

Purpose

Global Catalytic Ministries (GCM), is an impactful disciple-making nonprofit organization with an active presence as the underground church among many other countries. Our mission is to make disciples in some of the world's most challenging places and beyond. Through ministry strategies, we focus on meeting needs and building relationships with the lost, and guiding them to salvation in Christ. Reflecting Jesus in the disciple-making process, we coach believers, leading to gatherings that lead to church plantings that create movements. Drawing on wisdom gained from operating within environments with fierce persecution of Christianity, we share our knowledge though coaching to strengthen churches in the west. Our goal is to empower believers to discern God's voice, exhibit high obedience to Christ, stand strong, and foster multiplication. Together, we strive for the global mission of making disciples in every nation and baptizing the lost in His name.


Mission statement

Disciple-Making in every nation, tribe, and tongue by reaching the lost in the most unreached and persecuted places and by coaching believers to reach their families and neighborhoods.


Statement of faith

Scriptures and God:
We believe the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are inspired by God and serve as the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. We believe in one eternally existent God who reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Peter 1:21, Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 3:22)

Jesus Christ and Salvation:
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, intercession for us, His present rule as Head of the Church, and His personal return in power and glory. We believe that salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ, resulting in regeneration by the Holy Spirit and justification by grace through faith. (Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:31, Luke 24:47, John 3:3)

Humanity and Eternity:
We believe in the creation of mankind in God's image, the fall of man, resulting in universal guilt and total depravity, and the necessity of redemption through Christ. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved to eternal life with the Lord, and the lost to eternal punishment. We also believe in the spiritual unity of believers as the body of Christ, the Church, tasked with preaching the Gospel to every person. (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:17, Matthew 25:46, Mark 9:43-48, Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:22)

Response from ministry

YES, we have been working to be more transparent with all aspects of our ministry since 2022 when I reached out to Warren. Ministry Watch has helped us see the holes and vulnerabilities, and we have systematically fixed them.

Financials: Yes all available audits have been given to Ministry Watch and are available online on our website. Our 2023 Audit will be done in Oct. And will start the 2024 audit in February where we will do our first 990 in GCM history even though we don't need to do one as per our 501c3 status.

Summary
Our journey begins amidst the strict rule of the Ayatollah in Iran, expands within the grip of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and now, within the heart of Islam in Mecca, the holiest site, echoes a bold cry of Maranatha. Here lies our greatest challenge, where the radical influence of Wahhabism took root, shaping minds behind atrocities like 9/11, presenting a modern-day Goliath. Our determination to spread discipleship in this hostile environment is a courageous act-a declaration that no stronghold, no matter how daunting, is beyond the transformative power of Jesus.

This mission requires courage akin to a sheep among wolves, defying conventional wisdom. We live among enemies, turning even persecutors into disciples through the power of sacrificial love. This is not a call to arms but a call to worship. Driven by our intimacy with God and our belief in the redemption of every soul, His Kingdom extends to every nation, tribe, and tongue.

Jesus' Disciple-Making process transcends borders, genders, and cultures. In places once plagued by hostility, communities now unite through shared struggles, experiencing encounters with the Holy Spirit, leading to movements of disciple-making. Persecutors, touched by those they sought to harm, find themselves loving a Jewish Messiah. From the sands of Mecca to rural Ohio, from an Imam to a homeschool mom, disciples emerge from unexpected places, bearing witness to the cry: He has come, is here, and is coming again. We willingly lay down our lives as sheep among wolves.
