About Global Action
 Global Action's mission is to proclaim the Kingdom of God in word and deed to people around the world, and to serve the Church by empowering, training, motivating and mobilizing its people, so they become fully-devoted followers of Christ.
This mission is fulfilled through an innovative ministry approach that utilizes key national partnerships and networks worldwide to impact the nations for Christ. The new millennium requires new strategies of collaboration to transform nations and individuals spiritually. Global Action's ministry incorporates strategic evangelism for adults and youth, training, compassion relief in emergencies, as well as multiplication of the Church.
History of Global Action
 |
|
Dr. Lars Dunberg founded Global Action in 1998. Dr. Dunberg served for many years as an evangelist with such groups as the Salvation Army, Youth for Christ and the Swedish Covenant Church. He also served as International President of Living Bibles International and International Bible Society for 21 years. During his years of ministry, Dr. Dunberg traveled extensively and developed key ministry partnerships worldwide. Global Action was borne out of his desire to return to hands–on ministry around the world, with a particular focus on working through partnerships to fill critical gaps.
