“God bless the team for this amazing resource. Praise Jesus for always making a better way!”
– Online Missionary in Georgia
Building on its commitment to incorporate leading technologies to help people know and grow in Christ, earlier this summer Global Media Outreach (GMO) launched the mobile app version of its proprietary communication platform, the PATH Mobile App. This new tool allows our team of Online Volunteers to respond to Seekers faster, more easily, and more innovatively than ever. The app is now available in all the languages in which GMO currently runs advertisements, expanding accessibility to a global audience.
When GMO began in 2004, our goal was to find a better and more efficient way to support missionaries worldwide by planting seeds of the Gospel through online advertising. Since then, we’ve remained committed to improving technology and user experience so that Seekers and Online Missionaries can stay connected and grow in faith together.
Before the PATH mobile app, volunteers had to use a computer or log in through a web browser to answer Seekers’ questions about Jesus. Now, Online Missionaries can respond more easily from virtually anywhere—whether waiting in the carpool line, on a lunch break, or at a doctor’s office. The new app allows Gospel conversations and discipleship moments to become a natural part of daily life.
Since its launch in June, GMO has continued working with Online Missionaries to enhance the app with features like Face ID and fingerprint login. Built for convenience and connection, the PATH app makes it easier to stay engaged, respond to messages, and be part of the mission—wherever you are.
One volunteer in North Carolina, impacted by unreliable internet following recent hurricanes, shared that the app has already helped him connect with more Contacts, even with limited connectivity. That’s a better way.
“It’s as easy to answer someone’s spiritual question as it is to like your Great Aunt Ruth’s new profile picture,” says Anna Price, Global Media Outreach’s Ministry Response Director. Currently, 41% of our Online Missionary team has downloaded and started using the app. That’s a better way.
Ultimately, the PATH App is opening new doors for people to discover and follow the better way—the way of Jesus. What once required sitting at a desk now fits into everyday life. Whether it’s a college student replying between classes, a mom sharing truth while running errands, or a volunteer overcoming storm-related internet issues, the PATH App is helping the Good News travel further, faster, and more personally than ever. That’s a better way.
