…and beyond
Global
We launch joyfully because joining God’s mission is our privilege.
Committed to the urgent and unfinished task of making disciples and planting churches within the unreached people groups of the world.
FOR THE NATIONS
In line with Parkway’s vision to reach every man, woman, and child in greater Austin, and beyond, with the gospel of Jesus Christ, our Global Ministry exists to reduce lostness by multiplying genuine life in Christ locallyand globally based on the call of Acts 1:8.
1. We desire to empower gospel-driven believers to engage lost people.
2. We desire to pursue ministry multiplication to grow the body of Christ.
3. We desire to raise up the next globally-minded generation of disciples.
What’s my role?
It takes every man, woman, and child in the Church to reach every, man, woman, and child that hasn’t heard or responded to the gospel. We all have a role to play and we want to help you be actively involved in God’s mission here in Austin, and beyond.

Pray
Prayer is the most foundational part of joining God’s mission. Without prayer, we will be isolated and working in our own power. Prayer helps us center our hearts on his glory and boldly asks God for his will to be done among the unreached people of the world as we pray for other nations and our global partners. Below is a link to our global partner packet so you can get to know them as you pray and a link to the Joshua project website that has resources to help you grow a habit of praying for the nations.
Care
When our Global Partners are serving on the field far from their original homes, life can become difficult keeping up with cultural and language barriers. That’s where Barnabas Teams come in! These Teams are made up of 8-10 people in our church family who want to encourage our Global Partners. Each team supports a different Global Partner (or Partner couple).
Give
Our elders prayerfully and faithfully prioritize funds each year to go towards supporting our global partners financially. 10% of our total budget is committed to church planting and global ministries. Would you consider supporting the vision of reaching every man, woman, and child both locally and globally above and beyond your general tithe?
Learn
When Global Partners are in town, we love to host a lunch for them after church. This gives them an opportunity to share the work and ministry they are doing world-wide, and it gives our church family time to encourage them! Check back here for upcoming lunch registrations. Pkwy Institute will have a 4-week Global Outreach class in April 2026. Join us to learn more!
Go
Going is responding to God’s open invitation to step into another culture as an ambassador for Christ. Short term trips are periodically available for people to use their time and talent to encourage the global church, support our global partners where they live, serve those who need help, and to evangelize the lost. See the link below to learn more about what trips are available in the future.
Embark Training
Becoming a Global Partner
Our “launch joyfully” ministry at Parkway is called Embark. Embark is a 2-year discipleship process that equips adults to send or to go overseas. Participants will develop skills and be mentored in their preparation for productive cross-cultural ministry. If you have curiosity about Embark or motivated interest in knowing more, you may request information from Simon. To apply as a Global Partner Candidate to become a Goer or Sender, please follow the three steps below. Begin by reading through the Embark Manual document. Then fulfill the Global Partner Application and Biblical Assessment, in that order.
