Where We Serve
GLDI is active in every country in Latin America and growing across Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and East Asia. Wherever the church is growing fastest, that’s where we’re working to strengthen it.
Seven Regions, One Mission
Each region operates as its own consortium — a network of seminaries, Bible colleges, and Champion Partners with its own leadership team, working together to strengthen theological education close to home.
