Vision: To be the world's most accessible, transformational, and indigenous grace-based Bible institutes and ministry training centres that testify to the gospel of God's grace.
Mission: To offer everyone who feels God's call to ministry, especially the 85-90% of marginalized pastors and church leaders who cannot access good-quality, grace-based theological education and ministry training due to extreme educational and financial challenges, approved, outcome-based theological education and ministry training so they can minister as effective Grace Ambassadors and become partners to help fulfill our vision.

Helping marginalized pastors and church leaders to value theological education and ministry training. Overcoming clients' educational and financial challenges so they can move beyond a survival mentality. Adequate finances and personnel to complete GPI's vision and mission.
