Global Shore Opportunities

Global Shore Opportunities is a non-profit mission organization run out of southern Ontario, Canada. Since 2004, GSO has been involved in El Tizate, Guatemala. GSO began by sending Canadian university students to this small town for a two-month missions trip in the summers. Emphasis began in housing construction and while that is still a major component of our ministry there, the Lord has led us in the direction of Christian Education. Colegio Cristiano Avivando el Fuego, or, Fanning the Flame Christian School, has the goal of raising up disciples of Christ through the means of education. Ministered to and taught by a staff that fears and loves the Lord, we are seeing tremendous impact on the lives of the 225 students that currently make up our student body. Being tightly connected to the local evangelical church, the work of the Lord is very strong in this union of Canadian and Guatemalan brothers and sisters in the Lord. May Jesus be glorified through this work. Amen. In addition to the Summer Student Program, a number of years ago the ministry began to host 12-day, short-term teams. We host a number of these trips a year, adult groups, youth groups and family trips.
