Global Outreach Developments International is a Movement.
The Oxford Dictionary defines a Movement as “a group of people working together to advance their shared political, social, or creative ideas.”
“A Group of People…” – Gathered together in Antioch, TN, we come from over a dozen states ranging from California to North Carolina, Georgia to Minnesota, Hawaii to New York. There are about 120 of us who reside, work and serve in the greater Nashville area. Mutli-ethnic, interdenominational, gender inclusive and focused on the preservation of life, everyone is invited to participate in a revolution of love.
“Working Together…” – Productivity and Cooperation are an explosive combination. This is especially true when the activity is focused on benefiting an ‘other.’ There is a profound synergy produced when people are able to share goals and work toward the benefit of someone else. In this way there is not only fulfillment in the accomplishment, but also joy in the journey.
“To advance shared political, social or creative ideas…” – Because our Theology informs our practice, we advance our political, social, or creative ideas by demonstrating them. We live them out. We are not ‘arm-chair theologians’ with an agenda to prove we are right and everyone else is wrong. Instead we are people who hold fast to our beliefs, not as religious exclusivists, but as reasonable human beings who desire to live in peace with our neighbor. Our conceptualizations of how human beings are governed, inter-relate and spend their energy are first practiced within our movement, all in the hope that our lives will speak what is so often difficult to communicate with words.

Our Vision
We are a movement that transplants communities of global denizens, who in solidarity with the poor and marginalized embody the ethics of justice and freedom to bring about societal transformation where education and autonomy exist for all, without discrimination. We do not value popular American ideals associated with violence, domination, neo-colonialism and the attitude that the country has favored nation status with God and is unaccountable to the voice of the global community. Instead, as an educated community who values the preservation of life as governed by the ethical teachings of the bible, we will empower global citizens to implement the justice of God in their societies, through non-violent activity focused on education and capacity development of the poor and marginalized, as demonstrated in the life and message of Jesus of Nazareth.
