FAQs
+ What is Global Missions Project?
We get it. You love playing your instrument or singing in the choir and want to do more with your gift. But how? That's where we come in.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to use their God-given talent to serve the Lord. We take teams of choirs, orchestras, and jazz bands around the world to share the good news of Jesus.
+ How do you share Jesus through music?
Music is connecting. No matter the language of a song, it's the music that binds people together. Our projects consist of evangelistic concerts with the gospel interwoven between songs.
In many countries we have the opportunity to play music in conjunction with local musicians. We also serve by teaching music and sharing our testimonies with others.
+ Why me? Can't you just send money to these countries?
In fact, we DO need you! God has a special plan for your life that includes using you to minister to others. Learn more in our guide on 6 Ways God Can Use You.
+ How do I sign up for a project?
Signing up for a project is as easy as moving your fingers. Check out the open projects, find a fit, and register!
+ Do I have to be a part of a group to sign up?
Nope. You sure don't! That's why we exist - to form teams comprised of individuals that have a heart for missions and want to serve the Lord through music. Find a project and hop on board!
+ Can my spouse come?
Of course! In fact, we encourage it! We can always use an extra set of hands and a smiling face :)
+ Do I need to audition?
Typically, as long as you have at least 4 years of playing experience, you're good! However, we may ask about prior playing experience to help us assign music parts.
+ When will I get the music? Will we rehearse together?
Typically the music is sent out one month before the project. Once we land in the country we're going to, we'll have one rehearsal, then we're off!
+ My instrument is huge! How do I get it to another country?
For instruments that aren't airplane friendly (tuba, upright bass, etc), we can usually rent them in the country we're going to. Let us know which project you're interested in and we'll help work it out!
+ What's included in the project cost?
Almost the whole kit and caboodle! The project cost includes air transportation, transportation within the country, accommodations, one meal per day, sightseeing excursions, and insurance on yourself and your instrument.
The project cost does not include an entry visa (if applicable), a US passport, domestic travel to the airport, and two meals per day.
+ Do I have to pay for the project all at once?
You can, but you don't have to! On average, each project is broken into 4 or 5 payments with an average of 2-3 months between payments.
+ How can I raise support for my project?
Stepping out in faith is an important part of going! There are many ways to raise support - sending a support letter to friends and family, asking your church for support, forgoing that $5 drink from Starbucks, having a garage sale, and most importantly through prayer! God doesn't just call you to go, He also provides for you.
+ Are my payments tax deductible?
They are! We are a 501c3 which makes your donations tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. You can deduct your project cost in addition to any other expenses accrued during travel.
+ Will there be any sightseeing?
We always include excursions to learn about the culture of the country. However, our goal is missions, so that will be the main focus of the project!
