Global Shore

Global Shore is a non-profit mission organization based out of Ontario, Canada. Since 2004, GSO has been involved in El Tizate, Guatemala. GSO began by sending Canadian university students to this small town for a two-month missions trip in the summer. Emphasis began in housing construction and while that is still a component of the ministry there, the Lord has led in the direction of Christian Education. Colegio Cristiano Avivando el Fuego, or, Fanning the Flame Christian school, has the goal of raising up disciples of Christ through the means of education. Ministered to and taught by a staff that fears and loves the Lord, we are seeing tremendous impact on the lives of the 180 students that currently make up our student body (2011). Being tightly connected to the local evangelical church, the work of the Holy Spirit is very strong in this union of Canadian/foreign and Guatemalan brothers and sisters in the Lord.

We began hosting short-term teams several years ago, and will continue to develop this program. Longer service opportunities exist as well, in the form of a 1-year contract for an ESL position. A unique program offered to post-secondary students continues to be offered on an annual basis, running from May-August every summer.

May Jesus be glorified through this work. Amen.
