ABOUT US
A Missions Organization With a Big Vision
Global Outreach International (GOI) exists to show and share God’s love among the nations. What began as a small missions effort in Mississippi has grown into a global missions agency serving more than 300 missionaries worldwide.
Our heartbeat is simple and biblical: How will they hear the gospel unless someone tells them? (Romans 10:14–15). We believe every nation deserves access to the Good News of Jesus, and we are committed to helping send those who will go.

OUR HISTORY
GOI traces its roots to the 1960s, when believers from Mississippi began ministry work in Ecuador. Sammy and Sue Simpson, equipped with agricultural expertise and a passion for the gospel, launched an agricultural demonstration farm to serve communities while planting churches.
Decades of Ministry
Agricultural Missions Foundation Formed
After praying for funding and expanded opportunities for “outside-the-box” missionaries, the Simpsons, alongside L.D. and Elaine Hancock and other lay leaders, form the Agricultural Missions Foundation.
Global Outreach International Established
Agricultural Missions Foundation officially becomes Global Outreach International (GOI), expanding beyond agriculture to include healthcare, education, orphan care, church planting, and other holistic mission efforts.
Strategic Plan Adopted
The Board of Directors establishes three strategic areas of focus: mobilization, missionary care, and healthy home office operations.
Record Missionary Growth
GOI welcomes 49 new missionaries—an organizational record—and supports more than 300 missionaries serving around the world.
OUR VISION
The Good News to Every Nation This Generation
Inspired by Revelation 7:9—where every nation, tribe, and tongue worships before the throne—we long to see the gospel reach the unreached in our lifetime. We believe this generation can play a significant role in fulfilling the Great Commission.
Mobilization: Sending More Missionaries into the Harvest
To reach every nation, more workers must be sent. Our goal is to send new missionaries into the harvest every year—especially to unreached and underserved regions.
Missionary Care: Go Prepared. Stay Effective. Return With Dignity.
We call ourselves “A Great Missions Family.” Our missionary care team—comprised of experienced current and former missionaries—walks closely with those we send. Healthy missionaries lead to sustainable global impact.
