We give you...
Connection
Sometimes, all you need is someone working at your side to help guide you to where God is already leading. GGNC provides a prayerful team to work with and support you.
Competence
Whether you’re new to missions, missiology, or the concept of gateway cities, we have the tools you need to be equipped to make disciples of the nations right here in Canada.
Confidence
With your church, our team, and the tools you need to faithfully share the Gospel, you’ll find yourself confident to follow God wherever He’s leading you.
So you can...
Multiply
Disciples
Followers of Jesus aren’t content to just be followers alone. Disciples make disciples. If God were to multiply disciples in a radical way today, would we be ready to facilitate multiplication and church planting?
To The Ends
of the Earth
Revelation 7:9-10 tells us about a multitude of people from every tribe, tongue, and nation worshipping God for His majesty. So many nations don’t yet even known His name. There’s lots of work to do.
Through Canadian
Gateway Cities
Modern immigration means that Canadian cities have become a nexus for global settlement and connection. The unreached are not here by chance. They’re accessible, mobile, and connected.
Our Mission
The mission of Global Gates Canada is to see gospel transformation of the world’s most unevangelized people groups who have come to Canadian gateway cities, and through them reach their communities around the world.
What do we believe?
Global Gates Network of Canada agrees with the statement of faith adopted by the Lausanne Covenant.
What do others say about us?
“I have known the leadership of Global Gates Canada for several years, and greatly appreciate their Kingdom labors. They do an excellent job drawing attention to the unreached people groups in Canada and challenging evangelicals to make disciples and plant churches among them. Whenever someone asks me who is doing the best job in Canada among unreached people groups, my immediate response is Global Gates Canada!”

“From Marshall McLuhan’s ‘Global Village’ (1964) to Saskia Sassen’s ‘Global Cities’ (2002) to ‘Global Apartments’ (Tira, 2014), Canadian cities from east to west are undeniably home to increasingly cosmopolitan communities, hosting thousands of people from the four corners of the globe. They are international students, migrant workers, refugees, and recent immigrants who have yet to meet Jesus through his followers in Canada. Global Gates Network of Canada understands the nature of these cities and they have relevant resources to reach out to the multitudes who are now living in Canadian communities. I encourage you to partner with Global Gates Network of Canada.”

Formerly the coordinator for the Lausanne North American Diaspora Strategy Group (2019-2020), founding chairperson of the Global Diaspora Network (2010-2015), and the catalyst for diasporas/Lausanne senior associate for diasporas (2007-2019), Dr. Tira has served on numerous mission organization boards including SIM Canada and MoveIn International.

“Global Gates Canada occupies a strategic role in the fulfillment of the Great Commission today. No one else so boldly and effectively takes the gospel to the world’s least-reached diaspora peoples who now live and grow in Canada’s urban centers. Global Gates Canada represents the cutting edge and future of the Great Commission.”

“Canada is a land of immigrants: beyond the door-step of the church, we have a whole missions field made up of people from every corner of the world! This is no accident. God has brought them here, “so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him” (Acts 17:27 NIV). God is on the move, and Global Gates have come to join Him in what He is doing already. A most welcome addition to the growing force of diaspora ministries here!”
CY Yan is Director for Connections East Asia at OMF Canada – a mission that traces its origin to China Inland Mission, which was founded by Hudson Taylor in 1865. In this capacity, CY seeks to come alongside of East Asian diasporas across Canada, help build indigenous biblical church movements in their midst, and see them become missionary sending forces.
“It is so important to engage in mission in a loving, informed way. Global Gates Canada calls the Church of Jesus to see and to know the people God has brought to our cities from around the world. By providing careful research and creating strategic opportunities to engage in prayer and caring ministry, the Global Gates Canada team helps to inspire and equip our congregation at The Peoples Church to live out God’s mission to draw all people from every nation to Himself.“
Sandra Ryan – Global Mission Pastor for The Peoples Church, Toronto
