The Global Missions Toolbox is a collection of resources for Senders.

Trustworthy

Carefully selected and gospel-centered resources with a missional focus.

Clutter-Free Format

Take what is helpful and leave what’s not. Available when you need it!

Practical in Nature

So that you can increase your missional engagement, starting today!

Our Approach to Curating Resources

Our Global Missions Toolbox team is constantly learning and growing. Our hope is to regularly add/improve the resources we offer. Your feedback and suggestions are welcomed!

As we developed the idea for the Global Missions Toolbox, we did not discover a lack of good material (anyone can search Google and find good stuff) but a lack of a trusted, orderly, and accessible source of good material. That’s why we’ve used the idea of curation even before we develop entirely new tools.

Here is some information on our priorities, standards, and process for including resources in the Toolbox.

Criteria for Choosing Tools

These are some questions our team asks when selecting tools.

- Is the resource practical?

Will this help Senders get traction (soon!) on some challenge they are facing? Will it provide a to do list or a roadmap to their desired outcome?

- Is the resource reproducible?

Can it be easily understood and shared?

- Is the resource likely to meet needs that have been identified?

We’ve talked and listened to dozens of Senders, and we’ve identified themes we’re trying to address early in the Toolbox initiative.

We invite you to help us build the Toolbox!

Have you seen or used something we should consider? Let us know about your idea and let’s pray, network, and develop together all for God’s glory!

The Global Missions Toolbox team has initiated two other projects meant to help your church in making disciples of all nations.

The GoJournal is for Goers, team leaders, and trip mentors to help your church deepen discipleship through short-term missions.

The Global Missions Podcast is a show for Christ-followers who want to participate more effectively in God’s work both at home and to the ends of the earth.

These resources are a part of the Global Missions Toolbox and have been projects that we have used to shape the direction and content of the Toolbox.

Our Statement of Faith

The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) and the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) have helpfully provided the foundations of this Statement of Faith.

We respectfully acknowledge that many perspectives may be represented in our community. Those who curate and help develop Toolbox resources remain unified on the following:

The Holy Scriptures

The Holy Scriptures, as originally given by God, are divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy, and constitute the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

One God

God is eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Our Lord Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. We affirm his virgin birth, sinless humanity, divine miracles, vicarious and atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, ongoing mediatorial work, and personal return in power and glory.

The Salvation

The salvation of lost and sinful humanity is possible only through the merits of the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, received by faith apart from works, and is characterized by regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit enables believers to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Church

The Church is the body of Christ and consists of all true believers.

Final Resurrection and Judgement

Ultimately, God will judge the living and the dead, those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
