The ministry takes its name and focus from John 4:35 and Luke 10:2, emphasizing the biblical image of fields ready for harvest and the need for workers to go into that harvest. Its stated approach is non-denominational in structure and patterned after the New Testament church. The ministry was founded by Reggie Thomas, who dedicated his work to overseas evangelism with the goal of taking the Great Commission seriously across national and cultural boundaries.

White Fields Overseas Evangelism — Organization Profile
White Fields Overseas Evangelism is a Christian missions organization established to spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ to every nation. The ministry takes its name and focus from John 4:35 and Luke 10:2, emphasizing the biblical image of fields ready for harvest and the need for workers to go into that harvest. Its stated approach is non-denominational in structure and patterned after the New Testament church.
The ministry was founded by Reggie Thomas, who dedicated his work to overseas evangelism with the goal of taking the Great Commission seriously across national and cultural boundaries. White Fields describes its work as reaching the world with the good news that Jesus brings eternal life in relationship with the one true God. Its ministry identity includes evangelism, church planting, teaching, prayer for unreached peoples, and practical care for vulnerable children.
White Fields Overseas Evangelism is publicly connected with Joplin, Missouri, and describes its work as international in scope. Its website lists ministry activity in many countries and regions, including Haiti, India, Liberia, Cuba, Uganda, Antigua, the Philippines, and other nations. The organization emphasizes support for native or national evangelists who can work within their own cultural settings, often with fewer resources than foreign missionaries would require.
A central part of the ministry’s strategy is supporting native evangelists and helping plant churches in unreached nations, villages, and peoples. White Fields states that it partners with evangelists, matches them with sponsors, and encourages prayer and monthly support. The ministry also provides resources such as sermons, articles, International Bible School lessons, Muslim teaching lessons, newsletters, and a World Prayer Map focused on reached and unreached nations.
White Fields also includes White Fields Orphanage Ministries, a children’s ministry connected to the organization’s overseas work. The ministry’s official materials describe orphanage support in countries such as Haiti, India, and Liberia. This work has included feeding, housing, educating, and caring for children through partner homes and orphanage ministries, alongside the evangelistic and church-planting focus of the organization.
People can engage with White Fields Overseas Evangelism by praying for unreached nations, supporting national evangelists, giving toward ministry work, using its teaching and prayer resources, contacting the ministry about opportunities to help, or partnering with White Fields Orphanage Ministries. The organization’s “What Can I Do?” materials encourage Christians and churches to select nations for prayer, identify contacts, support evangelists, and help launch new churches where no New Testament church is present.

Global Church Growth Inc. — Organization Profile
Global Church Growth Inc., also known as Global Church Growth Discipling Ministries or GCGDM, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-denominational Christian ministry connected with Sevierville and Seymour, Tennessee. The organization states that its goal is becoming disciples and its mission is making disciples. Its public materials describe the ministry as providing training, training materials, and support to churches, missionaries, individuals, and ministries around the world.
The organization’s core focus is making disciples of Jesus Christ by equipping ethnic, foreign, and national ministries and their leaders with practical training, materials, mentoring, and support. Global Church Growth describes its mission as helping ministries make disciples and foster others in making disciples. Its work is directed toward strengthening church leaders, new churches, established congregations, and mission partners.
Global Church Growth serves ministries in the United States and internationally, with official materials identifying global work in places such as Cuba, Myanmar, Nepal, Guatemala, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Russia, Poland, Mexico, Antigua, Uganda, and other mission contexts. The ministry’s approach emphasizes equipping native leaders to carry on disciple-making work in their own communities.
The organization operates through on-site seminars, church planting support, internships, personal mentoring, foreign missions, and service tracks. Its training includes evangelism, discipleship, leadership, church growth, giftedness, shepherding, and the “Uniquely You” profiling resource. Global Church Growth states that it does not simply present seminars or provide materials, but also offers personal mentoring and monitoring for those who partner with the ministry.
A distinctive part of Global Church Growth’s approach is combining church-growth training with long-term disciple-making systems, mentoring, and leadership development for local ministry leaders. Its founder and director, Dr. Michael R. Householder, developed the “Walk in Discipleship” series after seeing the need to help new believers continue growing as disciples. The ministry’s history includes work in Eastern Europe, Russia, Poland, and other regions where churches have been trained in discipleship and church-growth principles.
People can engage with Global Church Growth by giving financially, praying, joining the email list, inviting the ministry to train leaders, ordering materials through Fishnet Publishers, or contacting the ministry about seminars and service tracks. The organization also asks for support for short-term workers, full-time missionaries, church planting, established church growth, and funds needed to continue its disciple-making ministry.
