GLOBAL LUTHERAN OUTREACH, INC.
MIRAMAR, FLORIDA

AWARENESS ABOUT FRAUD PLOYS: It has come to our attention that fraudsters may use information from missionary websites to perpetuate internet fraud. Missionary photos, information, and work history may be used to create counterfeit websites, blogs, or advertisements which exploit the credibility of the missionary to perpetuate the scam. A common ploy is to advertise a property for rent in the USA, directing that the deposit be sent to an overseas account. Supporters of GLO missionaries may avoid fraud by donating exclusively through GLO’s secure website. We also advise that unless you personally know the missionary, DO NOT conduct any financial transaction with him or her. If you have any questions or concerns, please GLO is designed specifically for facilitating missionary sending.  We do not accept requests for project funding.  What does happen sometimes is that a GLO missionary, in coordination with the body under which they serve, will present to their donor base an opportunity to help fund a worthy project. If you are already an online donor to a GLO missionary or missionaries, you can manage your login, profile and adjust your giving by going to the GLO Online Donation site and create your online profile for donating to GLO missionaries. Does GLO also help with sending missionaries for mission outreach in their home country? While we recongnize the vital importance of domestic missionary sending, GLO is currently limiting our contribution to mission endeavors where a person is sent beyond the borders of their home country. Does GLO help send non-Lutheran missionaries? No. While we know the global Christian mission is much larger than Lutheran missions, GLO is dedicated to working specifically with Lutheran missionary candidates who share our Lutheran statement of faith. Does GLO offer missionary training? GLO is committed to offering cross-cultural orientation and training in a customized way to fit the needs of the individual missionary. Some may be totally new to adapting to cross-cultural situations and language acquistion, while others may have had extensive preparation already.  Some may have already studied the theology of missions, while others have not.  We call our approach "just-in-time training." Some of the training will be specific to preparation for deployment, while other training will be most effective a few months into the cross-cultural adaptation. ), we have not sought particular recognition with any single church.  However, this does not mean that we will never do so.  To the extent that obtaining such recognition is seen to be helpful in enhancing our ability to cooperate with a given Lutheran denomination in the advancement of faithful Lutheran outreach, we might decide to do so.  Our concern would be that such status with one church body would not unduely hinder GLO's ability to work with another.
