Where We've Been
The first launch by GBSF to reach the business people of the world for Christ was in November 1999, when Gary Shotton and Brad Stine traveled to Poland to meet with Fred Simila and survey the interests and needs of that country.
Since then, we have had the opportunity to make new friends and forge alliances in the following countries:
Where We're Going
As our network expands and our Business Host program grows, there will be no limit to the foreign countries to which Business Mission Trips will travel. Typically, our trips consist four to six people per team. We try to keep them small in order to better highlight the skill set of each person. This also means that trips can form easily and quickly to fit your particular schedule. Currently, we have the following destinations available for trips:
