At the gravesite of Martin Luther, the founder of the protestant reformation, we committed to find, intercede, network, invest, send, and harvest through 2030!

One of the most creative, innovative, and strategic methods the Global Church Network is using to complete the Great Commission is the Global Hubs of Christianity. The Global Hubs of Christianity were first launched with founding Paster David Sobrepena, at Word of Hope in Manila, Philippines, in 2014.

Currently, GCN has more than 90 Hubs strategically placed throughout the Body of Christ. A Global Hub synergizes the best relationships, systematizes is the best training, and strategizes for unreached people groups. Additionally, the Global Hubs of Christianity will provide facilitation of expedited Bible translation for the remaining unreached people groups in the years to come. It is estimated that by 2022, there will be at least 200 Hubs, and 800 Hubs by 2030.

It a thrill to serve with James Davis on this global team, believing the Lord to plant churches where there have never been any churches before and to see souls saved where no souls have been saved before.

Leon Fontaine
I have been a part of this global network since it was first announced by James Davis to more than 5,000 leaders. I am thrilled to know now that pastors in more than 140 nations are partnering together.
