What We Do

Every bridge you cross today shapes the world you will impact tomorrow, connecting people, purpose, and promise. Education serves as that bridge—a pathway to knowledge and transformation, inviting each of us to journey beyond the present and toward a brighter future.

About Global Bridges

Global Bridges has been transforming lives since 1998, carrying out vital missions work around the world, including in highly restricted nations. Our passion is rooted in the belief that education and discipleship are powerful tools for global change. Through innovative partnerships with ministries like Mercy Ships, YWAM, and Hartwell Education, we offer students unique opportunities to combine missions work with academic achievement.

Our latest initiative, “Do Missions. Earn a Degree,” empowers students to engage in meaningful outreach while earning college credit, bridging the gap between spiritual growth and educational accomplishment. Whether you’re an international student seeking to study in the U.S. or a domestic student embarking on a study abroad journey, Global Bridges is here to guide you every step of the way.

With decades of experience in missions and education, we are committed to equipping the next generation of leaders—those who will shape their communities and the world for the better.

What Our Friends Say

“For many years I have watched with gratitude and amazement as Global Bridges has faithfully walked out their calling to meet the desperate needs of children and families who are trapped in places where freedom is only a dream or a distant memory.

While we continue to pray that lost freedom will be restored, I urge you to join hands with Global Bridges as they keep finding ways to provide food, rescue, discipleship, and hope in the name of Jesus.”

Twila Paris, Recording Artist & Songwriter

“I have had the privilege of knowing the leaders of this remarkable ministry for more than 50 years. Their vision, deeply rooted in the heart of God, is nothing short of inspiring.

Global Bridges is a beacon of passion and intentionality. Their dedication to delivering food, rescuing those in danger, and providing discipleship and education is a testament to their commitment to following the model set by Jesus himself.”

Don Stephens, Founder & President Emeritus, Mercy Ships
