The Underground
Since the first century B.C., Jesus sparked a Kingdom movement from Jerusalem that transcended borders and cultures, enduring persecution across the Roman Empire. Today, the Christian Church still faces oppression in places like Iran, Afghanistan, and Mecca, much like the early church. Yet, from Mecca to rural Ohio, from Imams to ex-LGBTQ escorts, disciples rise from unexpected places, reflecting God’s enduring radical love through disciple-making.
Join us worldwide as sheep among wolves, laying down our lives in worship and divine deployment. Motivated by deep intimacy with Jesus, we actively spread His mission to reach every nation, tribe, and tongue anticipating the moment of His Kingdom Come. Maranatha!

Zero tolerance for compromise—fully transparent, faithfully accountable, and fiercely committed to holiness.

Disciple-Making Bootcamp
God is calling a new breed of disciples in this generation into radical mission
West meets east
Global Catalytic Ministries is a disciple-making organization with a vision for a global movement of Jesus. Originating from the underground church in the most persecuted region of the world and expanding into Afghanistan, the West, and now reaching over 71 countries worldwide, we’ve been actively making disciples in some of the most persecuted areas, from the East to the Bible Belt in America. Explore how our worshipful posture, encompassing prayer, praise, and disciple-making, has the power to stir the heart of God, prompting Him to respond through movement on the earth.
GCM continues to expand its mission with the generous donations of many. Your financial support to further enhance GCM programming would be greatly appreciated.
North America
In North America, disciple-making is quietly taking root in homes, neighborhoods, and relational networks as believers rediscover a simple, biblical way of following Jesus. Through live coaching, Discovery Bible Studies, and ongoing mentoring, ordinary believers are engaging thousands of spiritual conversations and forming multiplying groups across cities and states. This is not theory, it is hands-on obedience shaped by real accountability. We are opening live, multi-week regional coaching led by active disciple-makers serving in North America, designed to help believers move from information to action. Participants receive the book, online course, and live, interactive coaching to learn how to reach the lost where they already live, work, and build relationships.
South America
Across South and Central America, God is stirring a deep return to obedience-based disciple-making. In 2025, pastors and leaders from 14 nations stepped into sustained coaching with underground church practitioners, shifting away from church-as-usual toward biblical, multiplying discipleship. This movement is marked by repentance, healing, and long-term formation, not hype. We are now inviting believers across Latin America into live, multi-week coaching led by active disciple-makers from the region, rooted in real field experience and cultural reality. Training is offered in Spanish and Portuguese (not English) and includes the book, online course, and live interactive coaching to equip believers to reach the lost and make disciples who multiply in their own context.
Europe
Europe is re-emerging as both a mission field and a sending base, with disciple-makers rising across Western, Northern, and Eastern Europe in spiritually resistant contexts. In 2025, teams formed across multiple nations and languages, churches were planted, and prayer networks began unifying believers across borders. We are now opening live, multi-week coaching led by European disciple-makers, shaped by post-Christian culture, immigration realities, and slow-build trust environments. Coaching will be offered in multiple European languages (English Dutch, French and Norwegian), alongside the book and online course, giving believers practical, contextual tools to make disciples and form spiritual family where faith has often been marginalized.
Africa
Across Africa, disciple-makers are emerging from churches, refugee communities, schools, prisons, and Muslim-majority contexts, carrying the gospel with courage and humility. In 2025, thousands were trained and mobilized through prayer-saturated, relational disciple-making that emphasizes unity over competition and obedience over programs. We are now inviting believers into live regional coaching with African disciple-makers who are actively working on the frontlines, navigating real spiritual resistance, persecution, and breakthrough. This multi-week, hands-on training includes the book, online course, and live interactive coaching so participants can learn how to identify People of Peace, start Discovery groups, and multiply disciples in complex, real-world environments.
Middle East
Across the Middle East, disciple-making continues in environments marked by surveillance, persecution, imprisonment, and, in many cases, martyrdom. Believers are being coached and equipped live, both online and in person, by experienced underground disciple-makers who are actively serving under these realities. Because of the increasing security risks and rising regional tensions, participation in Middle East coaching is not offered through public signups or open registration. Instead, training and coaching happen through trusted personal relationships and discerned pathways, prioritizing the safety of believers while ensuring real formation and accountability. This work is not theoretical and it is not mass-scaled, it is careful, relational, and Spirit-led, designed to help disciples in the region obey Jesus and multiply faithfully in some of the most dangerous contexts on earth.
Far East
In the Far East, underground disciple-making is advancing amid war, displacement, government pressure, and sustained persecution, where faithfulness often carries severe cost. Coaching and training are happening live, online and in person, led by seasoned underground disciple-makers who are actively walking with believers through these realities and helping movements grow with resilience and wisdom. Due to ongoing security threats and the very real risk of imprisonment or death, participation in Far East coaching is not accessed through public platforms or open enrollment. Instead, engagement happens through trusted relationships, personal connection, and careful discernment, allowing believers to be equipped without exposing lives or networks. This approach reflects the reality on the ground, training that is relational, protective, and deeply rooted in obedience rather than visibility.
