Global Media Outreach is a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ International formed to present the good news of Jesus Christ over the Internet. Every day, thousands of people come to one of their websites. Many are searching for God; some have specific questions; others just want to know more.
They present the gospel in over 100 languages. In many languages, they have volunteer responders available for those who e-mail them. GMO’s goal is to help those who contact them find Christ and then to help them grow in their Christian faith and become connected to a local church.
