In mid-September, the Global Media Outreach team came together in person. Staff members spent time in prayer, worship, and planning for the upcoming year.
This year’s gathering included a special ceremony. Our team said farewell to Jeff Gowler after almost nine years of leadership and welcomed Jamie Radtke as our new CEO and President.
Jamie spoke to our team, and we’d love to share her message with you.
At Global Media Outreach, we have a front-row seat to see God at work—and believe me when I tell you He is actively stirring revival around the world. And there is a part for all of us to play in this revival.
During the CEO & President induction ceremony, God laid Luke 5:4–8 on my heart:
“And when [Jesus] had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.’ And Simon answered, ‘Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.’ And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.”
I absolutely believe this is what’s in store for us. When we think about the 5-star strategy—our plans to double our Gospel reach to 5 billion in half the time, helping 5 million people grow in their faith, having 500 million indicated decisions to accept Christ . . . I envision nets just bursting. But there are two other interesting learnings from this story, right? You need bigger nets, and you need more boats!
God calls us to cast our nets and fish for men. But we believe He is asking us to build bigger nets, construct stronger boats, and find more fishermen to bring in His abundant haul—because He is at work in a mighty way!
So how can you help?
- Create more, bigger nets through more online ads to reach more people daily with the Gospel
- Build stronger boats through the technological infrastructure to scale and customize the discipleship journey for everyone around the world
- Get more fishermen through recruiting and training more volunteer Online Missionaries who can personally help people know the Jesus you and I love.
That’s the future of Global Media Outreach, and we invite you into it with us. We desire to partner with people who have a big vision for what God can do in their own life and the lives of others.
Please consider giving below today. Let’s go fishing!
