Trinity United Methodist Church in Naivasha, Kenya, hosted a Jan. 14 service of commissioning with Global Ministries, officially recognizing 39 Global Mission Fellows (GMFs) in their service as young adult missionaries.
Global Mission Fellows in this group come from 21 different countries and will serve in 25 countries, including the United States. This cohort of GMFs will spread out over the globe from Africa to Asia, Europe, Latin America and to two island nations of the Caribbean.
Global Mission Fellows are young adults, ages 20-30, who commit to two years of mission service to engage with local communities, connect the church in mission, and grow in personal and social holiness. Global Mission Fellows engage in justice work, become ambassadors for mission, both internationally and domestically, and join a movement of young adults committed to mission and systemic change.
