Recommended Ways to Invest in the Nations

Leadership Training for Pastors

$2,500–$3,500 per church or association

The greatest multiplier in global missions is a well-equipped pastor. GTM trains local pastors and ministry leaders here in the US — equipping them to teach sound theology internationally. We use the proven Bible Training Center for Pastors (BTCP) curriculum from bibletraining.com, then connect each trained pastor with one of our 140+ active seminary partnerships around the world.

• Trains one pastor or team for cross-cultural theological instruction
• Curriculum anchored in BTCP’s biblically grounded, globally tested materials
• Connects your church directly to an international seminary partner
• Ideal for church mission committees, associations, and Great Commission champions

Sponsor a Seminary Student

$4,500 Master’s · $5,500 Doctoral

Less than 5% of the world’s Christians have access to any form of formal theological education. Your sponsorship changes that for a real person, in a real community, with a real call from God. GTM partners with institutions like Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to provide rigorous, affordable higher education to future national leaders who would otherwise never have the opportunity.

• Covers full tuition for one student pursuing a Master’s or Doctoral degree
• Students return to their home country to lead and multiply
• Contextualized training: leaders equip the next generation in their own language and culture
• Partners with Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and other accredited institutions

Build an Academic Theological Library

$10,000 standard deployment

Many seminaries in the developing world have books — but not enough of them, and rarely in their own language. A theological library isn’t a one-time gift; it’s a generational investment. Your gift funds an entire academic ecosystem: the GTM team selects and acquires high-quality theological resources, builds the library infrastructure, develops cataloguing systems, and trains staff to maintain it.

• Full library acquisition, cataloguing, and deployment by the GTM team
• Resources selected to match the school’s curriculum and language context
• Many titles sourced or translated into the host country’s native language
• Serves generations of students at a single institution

Build a Theological Portal

$3,500 standard portal

A seminary that can’t be found online can’t grow. For many partner schools, a GTM-built portal is the single greatest catalyst for institutional growth they’ve ever experienced — a track record proven consistently for 17+ years. A portal gives a school the ability to promote itself, accept online applications, and reach students it could never access before.

• Full portal built and deployed by the GTM technology team
• Enables online promotion, student recruitment, and enrollment
• Proven model with 17+ years of consistent, documented results
• Opens doors to national and international students the school cannot currently reach

Technology Upgrades

$10,000 standard upgrade package

For many partner seminaries, the absence of basic technology isn’t a minor inconvenience — it’s a barrier to quality instruction. Schools lacking a reliable network, a working computer lab, digital projection equipment, or basic printers can’t deliver the education their faculty and students deserve. We assess each school’s specific context and provide targeted support.

• Tailored to each school’s specific gaps and context
• May include computer labs, printers, network infrastructure, and AV/recording equipment
• Enables schools to offer online and hybrid instruction
• Expands access to digital research resources and theological databases

Sponsor a New Theological Seminary

$100,000–$200,000

There are entire regions of the world where no seminary exists — where the church is growing rapidly, where God is clearly at work, and where the next generation of pastors has nowhere to turn for sound, formal theological training. GTM has helped plant new Baptist seminaries across Africa, Latin America, Central and South Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

• GTM guides the full process: accreditation pathway, faculty development, curriculum, and infrastructure
• New school is integrated into GTM’s global consortium network from day one
• Library, portal, and technology deployments can be bundled as part of this investment
• Indigenous leadership is at the center — the seminary belongs to and is led by the local church
• One seminary can train hundreds of pastors per year across a region or nation
