The Great Commission Society (GCS) operates in 125 nations, serving some of the world’s most vulnerable communities through evangelism, discipleship, and humanitarian engagement.

From the war zones of Ukraine to the schools of East Africa, our teams bring both help and hope, working hand in hand with local partners and volunteers from around the world.

We are now inviting new volunteers to join us, people with a heart to serve, teach, translate, or simply care. Whether you can give a week, a month, or a season, there is a place for you on the front line of faith and compassion.

This October, we invite you to stand with us in daily, intentional prayer for the nations.

Each day’s entry highlights a specific need, from war zones and refugee camps to university campuses and digital frontiers, where the Gospel is going forward. You’ll be joining a global prayer movement lifting up the lost, the unreached, the persecuted, and those faithfully carrying Christ’s name to the ends of the earth.

The international GCS team and the GCS Tanzania ground team based in Mwanza are working shoulder-to-shoulder in an intensive 2-week outreach across Ukerewe Island and the Lake Victoria region. This united effort blends global experience with local leadership to bring the Gospel into schools, marketplaces, and open-air gatherings.

In the first half of the mission we have:

☑️ Shared the Gospel with many thousands of students, with whole schools gathering outdoors—some standing in the midday sun, others beneath trees—to listen and respond.
☑️ Seen an overwhelming number of young people indicate a desire to follow Christ, many moved to tears. We pray these commitments will be genuine and enduring, nurtured by local pastors and churches.
☑️ Partnered with regional pastors and church leaders determined to reach other islands on Lake Victoria and carry the Gospel deeper into Mwanza and beyond.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐬 𝐔𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭

This spiritual breakthrough is matched by critical practical needs:

▪️Swahili Bibles – Few students own a Bible. We have given a small number of English Bibles, but the greatest need is God’s Word in the Swahili language, where costs to source and import are high.
▪️ School essentials – Many schools lack clean water, proper toilets, and basic sports equipment, vital for healthy learning environments and relationship-building.
▪️ Church training and materials – Local churches need discipleship tools and evangelism training to sustain the Gospel advance long after this mission ends.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩

You can join this mission in three powerful ways:

1️⃣ Give: Help us provide Swahili Bibles, school resources, and church training materials so every community can receive and live out God’s Word.
2️⃣ Pray: Stand with us in prayer for lasting fruit, protection, and strength as our teams serve.
3️⃣ Go: Consider joining a future GCS short-term mission team to serve directly in schools, markets, and open-air outreaches.

Together we can ensure that the seeds planted here take root and flourish, bringing the life-changing hope of Jesus Christ across Tanzania and the Lake Victoria region.

𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝, 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐌𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃
1 Corinthians 1:23; 2 Corinthians 4:5

𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓
Distraction is everywhere. Even in evangelism, we can get caught up in politics, debates, or self-promotion. But the Gospel is not about those things. It’s about Jesus.

Paul said, “We preach Christ crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:23). The good news is Jesus, crucified, risen, reigning. If people leave impressed with you but untouched by Him, you’ve missed it.

We’re not the light; we’re the lampstand. Our job is to point clearly to Christ.

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 + 𝐃𝐎
Stay sharp: practice sharing the gospel in a few sentences.
Cut the noise: don’t get sidetracked, bring it back to Jesus.
Check your heart: are you pointing to Him, or to you?

𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘
Jesus, strip away distractions. Keep me centred on You. Let everything, I say and do point people to You. Amen.

𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝, 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐌𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃
Galatians 6:9; 1 Corinthians 3:6

𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓
Evangelism takes patience. Seeds don’t sprout overnight. Sometimes you pray and share for years before anything happens. Discouragement whispers, “What’s the point?” But God says, “Don’t give up.”

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). Our job is to sow and water. God makes it grow.

Delay doesn’t mean failure; it means God’s timing. Hidden seeds often grow into the strongest trees.

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 + 𝐃𝐎
3 – 5 Names 3-5: write them down and start praying daily. Don’t stop.
Don’t be shy to explain the Gospel to them.
Play long game: think decades, not days.

𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘
God, give me grit. Keep me going when I see nothing. Teach me to trust Your timing and sow with hope. Amen.

𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝, 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐌𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃
2 Corinthians 4:7; Hebrews 4:12

𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓
Talking about Jesus shows up our weakness fast. We stumble, forget, or freeze. That’s not a flaw, it’s God’s design.

“We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us” (2 Corinthians 4:7). Our role is to speak faithfully; His Spirit convicts and saves (John 16:8). His Word cuts deeper than any argument (Hebrews 4:12).

That means even a shaky, nervous testimony can be used mightily by God. The pressure’s off, you don’t save anyone. He does.

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 + 𝐃𝐎
Breathe + pray: “Lord, give me Your words.”
Keep the Gospel simple: explain it in 2 to 4 points.
Tell it real: your story of how Jesus met you, raw and honest.

𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘
Lord, I can’t change anyone, but You can. Help me lean on Your Spirit and Word. Use my weakness to show Your strength. Amen.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃
Matthew 9:35–38

𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓
The world is full of people searching for peace and meaning, and yet living without Christ. The greatest obstacle to evangelism isn’t opportunity, it’s hesitation. Fear of rejection, awkwardness, or comfort keep us quiet.

When Jesus looked at the crowds, “He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36). That’s how He sees your friends, classmates, co-workers, even people scrolling your feed. His call isn’t “when you feel ready”, it’s “go now.”

True willingness comes from love, for Christ and for people. The question isn’t “Should I share?” but “Will I obey?”

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 + 𝐃𝐎
Ask better: “How are you really?” and listen.
One chance: pray for one open door this week and walk through it.
Carry light: keep one verse or story ready to share.

𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘
Jesus, make me willing. Break through my hesitation. Help me see people like You do and move me to act. Amen.

With just over a week to go, I want to extend a personal invitation to join us in London on Saturday 19 July for our Evangelism Masterclass: Next Level.

This is far more than a routine training event. It’s a day set apart to deepen your understanding of the Gospel, to strengthen your confidence in sharing it, and to learn practical approaches that have been proven on the front lines of mission. We’ll explore how to communicate Christ with clarity and compassion, how to navigate real conversations with biblical wisdom, and how to reach across cultures and worldviews with grace and conviction.

Throughout the day, we’ll be drawing on insights and strategies we’ve learned from taking the Gospel into some of the most challenging places on earth. These are not abstract theories, but methods shaped and refined in real-world ministry that can transform the way you engage people right where you live.

If your heart is to see lives changed by the power of the Gospel, and to be more ready yourself for the opportunities God puts in your path, then I can’t encourage you strongly enough to make this day a priority. It will be a highly worthwhile investment, equipping you for the next season of your witness and ministry.

You’ll find all the details and registration link below. I look forward to seeing you there.
