Purpose
A world where anyone, anywhere, has the opportunity to hear the Gospel, be personally guided in their faith, and become a multiplying follower of Christ.
Mission statement
To leverage technology to invite all people to know Jesus Christ as Savior and grow in a personal relationship with Him.
Statement of faith
The basis of our beliefs is the Bible, God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error (inerrant) in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.
We accept those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general agreement among Christians. We desire to allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon the Bible alone, and that no such interpretation shall become an issue which hinders the ministry to which God has called us.
There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is the perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.
He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
Man's nature is corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
The salvation of man is wholly a work of God's free grace and is not the result, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation and thereby justifies them in His sight.
It is the privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human merit but is produced by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written word.
The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are appropriated in the believer's life by faith.
Every believer is called to so live in the power of the indwelling Spirit that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
According to Scripture, God created us either male or female and commanded that sexual intimacy is to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other. Any form of sexual behavior such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography or any attempt to change one's gender, or disagreement with one's birth gender is contradictory to Scriptural living.
Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all men, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual encouragement.
At physical death, the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
At physical death, the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
Jesus Christ will come again to the earth-personally, visibly and bodily-to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.

History
2004 - A man is given a vision. Years ago, before the Internet was on your phone or in your home, Global Media Outreach founder, Walt Wilson sits at an MIT meeting when God sparks an idea.
2007 - The truth of the Gospel is spreading. As online ads explode, the Internet proves to be the most effective and efficient approach to reach the lost. Our developers create a secure response system our volunteer Online Missionaries use to safely communicate with the influx of people responding to Gospel presentations.
2009 - Millions of people are coming to Jesus. In a blink of an eye, we share the gospel with 66 million people on more than 100 websites across 14 languages, and more than 10 million make a decision to follow Jesus.
A vision becomes a reality. Six years ahead of schedule, we reach out first milestone and share the Gospel with 1 billion people.
2019 - Reaching people at home. In efforts to reach the spiritually-broken walls of the US, we create the campaign, 'Jesus has Something Better For You' to communicate the relevance of Jesus in our modern world.
2020 - Closing the gap. This is the year we reach 2 billion people with the Gospel, and we're committed to pedal faster, work harder, and become more efficient in reaching those have not yet heard the Good News of Jesus Christ.
2021 - GMO acquires the online ministry Explore God, vastly increasing the amount of Gospel content geared toward younger generations and Americans.
