Global Church Movement

Ethiopia, with a population of nearly 115 million, is home to approximately 25 million individuals who identify with Jesus Christ, leaving roughly 90 million without such affiliation. Our mission is to unite with fellow believers within the body of Christ and empower the faithful among the 25 million Christians to reach out to the rest of the population with the message of Jesus Christ, striving to establish movements for church multiplication (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; John 3:16). Aligned with the purpose, mission, and values of Great Commission Ministry Ethiopia, a ministry under Campus Crusade for Christ International, we envision a world where every individual has access to a vibrant church or faith community, regardless of their location. GCM fosters inclusivity by embracing a diverse spectrum of churches and missional communities, each reflecting a variety of expressions, backgrounds, models, sizes, and shapes. Despite this diversity, these entities are united by a shared commitment to several core principles. These include upholding the authority of the Bible and acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus Christ, fulfilling the Great Commission, and spreading the gospel of Jesus through both word and deed. Moreover, they affirm the unity and paramountcy of the kingdom of God, recognizing the One Church as the Bride of Christ. In their endeavors, they prioritize the development and application of contextually relevant models and strategies that remain deeply rooted in the Word of God. We prioritize the establishment of intergenerational coaching relationships, the development of new leaders, the mobilization of financial resources, and the multiplication of churches at the local level. This indicator underscores our commitment to building self-sustaining and resilient communities of faith, capable of perpetuating their mission and ministry over time. In summary, these Key Movement Indicators serve as benchmarks for assessing the progress and impact of our mission efforts. They reflect our overarching vision of fostering vibrant, multiplying, and sustainable Christian communities that actively engage in spreading the gospel and advancing the Kingdom of God.
