Our unique model involves partnerships between a Global Business Affiliate (GBA) and a Local Business Affiliate (LBA). You can read more about our partnership model by clicking here.

How can I become involved in a GBA?

First, prayerfully consider what your involvement could be. Become familiar with our organizational mission, vision, and values, and review the website to learn more about our local business affiliates (LBAs) around the world.

Next, consider ways you can learn more about our work, including the following:

Then, if it is your desire to form a global business affiliate (GBA), discuss the possibility with others in your community and in your church and professional network to determine who else may want to participate in this ministry with you. As you pray and discuss this opportunity, keep in mind that leading a GBA requires a significant commitment of time and relationship building, involving regular communication and annual trips, as well as a commitment to raise finances, since all GBAs are self-supporting.

Can I share my specific skills and experience in an existing team?
