Global Theological Ministries
Preparing Leaders Who Prepare Leaders
Global Theological Ministries strengthens theological education across the Global South — training pastors, professors, and church leaders who are multiplying faithful ministry in more than 80 nations.
One Mission
Global Theological Ministries
Global Theological Ministries (GTM) exists to strengthen theological education by partnering with churches, seminaries, universities, and ministry leaders around the world. We believe healthy churches require healthy leaders, and healthy leaders are formed through faithful biblical education, mentoring, and partnership.
Our flagship initiative, the Global Leadership Development Initiative (GLDI), carries this mission into the field: encouraging indigenous leadership that will keep preparing pastors, missionaries, professors, and Christian leaders for generations to come.

“Today, an estimated 2 million pastors in Asia, Africa, and Latin America have either very limited or no access whatsoever to any form of theological training. More than 1,000 new pastors are needed per day to serve the 50,000 new believers that are baptized every day around the world.”
— Dr. Ramesh Richard, Professor & Researcher, Dallas Theological Seminary
