Missionaries

Advancing the Cause of Christ Through the Great Commission

We currently have two missionaries raising monthly support and ministry support with Great Commission Mission. Our director, David Crews is on full-time deputation and has raised over 10% of his monthly support. Our missionary pilot, Ross Patrick will soon be traveling to churches to gain support. Both of these men are passionate about reaching our goal of 1,000 GCM Accelerators at $10/month, which will enable the Great Commission Mission to see more souls saved, more churches planted, and more local pastors trained in fulfilling the Great Commission.

David Crews, Director

Growing up in a Christian home in Florida with a godly mother laid the groundwork for the man that David Crews would become. As a teenager, he learned how to go soulwinning and faithfully work a bus route. It was during this time, more than thirty years ago, that God placed in the heart of Bro. Crews a love for world missions, the local church, soulwinning, and church planting. He served as a missionary to British Columbia, Canada for ten years where God blessed the soulwinning efforts in the cities of Surrey and Kamloops. 

The Lord directed him and his family back to his home church, Immanuel Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, where he worked as assistant pastor and missions director for almost 12 years. Whenever possible, Bro. Crews also teaches missionary classes at North Florida Baptist College, helping to train another generation of soulwinning church-planting missionaries. 

God has now placed in his heart to serve as the director of the Great Commission Mission with the goal of seeing hundreds of churches planted, thousands of soulwinners trained, and more than one million souls receive Christ as their Saviour.

Ross Patrick, Pilot

Ross Patrick has familiarity with airplanes as both an airplane pilot and mechanic, and will be raising support for all aspects of the Mission Aviation ministry. He has more than ten years of flying experience and, in recent years, has added many endorsements, including his multi-engine rating. Bro. Ross is an active soulwinner who was reached through our soulwinning and bus ministry and has a burden to see the Mission Aviation ministry used to see many souls saved.

Our Reach

Gospel Outposts

These strategic outposts allow us to start expanding the reach of the Great Commission through soulwinning, conferences, and training for the furtherance of the Gospel.

USA - Jacksonville, FL
This is the home base of the Great Commission Mission. Northeast Florida is the home of the Immanuel Baptist Church, the Great Commission Mission, and Missions Aviation. It is from here Gospel missions are organized and launched.
Caribbean - St. Lucia
A strategic island with an airport large enough to land the Gospel 737 Jet, which will provide the delivery of men and materials. Bibles and printed materials can be stored until they are sent across the Caribbean, assisting churches in fulfilling the Great Commission.
South America - Ecuador
A country where Spanish-speaking countries to the north and south can be accessed through the home base of South America. Following the same pattern in other regions, the Great Commission Mission is active in assisting in training men to start churches and reach their countrymen for Christ.
