About Us

What is the Great Commission Mission?

The goal of the Great Commission Mission is to advance the cause of Christ through the Great Commission by training thousands of soulwinners, facilitating the planting of hundreds of churches, and providing training materials for national pastors worldwide.

The Great Commission Mission is organized through Great Commission conferences, Great Commission training, and Great Commission materials and resources. The fact is, this is a big world, and our time is limited. To reach one million souls and more, our strategy is threefold: using aviation to facilitate the movement of men and materials to expedite the Gospel, using technology to reach the world with the Gospel, and using Berean Publications to provide Bibles, printed materials, and resources.

With the advancements in this world, the world has become more accessible. We can travel to just about anywhere in the world in a fraction of the time it took less than a century ago. We can reach worldwide digitally thanks to social media and the internet. The Great Commission Mission utilizes these modern innovations to the benefit of purporting the Gospel throughout the world. Jesus is coming soon, and we must seize the opportunities to share His message with the world!

Working With National Pastors

The need is GREAT. The harvest is READY. National men who already know the language and culture are being taught the Bible and getting trained “on site” to do a work for the Lord. Approximately $500/month will support a national pastor for 3-5 years in planting a church. Purchasing church properties and building church buildings is also needed. The Great Commission Mission is in place to come along side these national pastors as we assist and accelerate the preaching of God’s Word in villages that are void of the Gospel.

Worldwide Training of Soulwinners in the Great Commission

The Great Commission needs to be started, and it needs to be completed. “Greatly Commissioned” and “Won by One” have been written for this very purpose. The Great Commission Mission is about the follow through and working hard to finish what was started. Training materials and technology such as Zoom play an active role in the work of the Great Commission Mission.

Encourage your pastor to take a trip with us and assist in the hands-on training of soulwinners! Many facets of the Great Commission Mission are very exciting to see in person on the mission field, and this is one of them.

Widening Our Reach Through the Aviation Ministry

It is wonderful to see how God continues to supply the tools needed for the Great Commission Mission. We have two pilots in our home church who have left their careers to run the Mission Aviation program. More pilots are currently being trained in Jacksonville, Florida, as this facet of the ministry will soon enable us to provide soulwinners, tracts, training materials, and mission trips to needy areas. Whether it is island hopping in the Caribbean or reaching remote areas in Central and South America, the Gospel of Jesus Christ can be expedited in our day and the Aviation Ministry is set to accomplish this for His glory!

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.

Our vision

Great Commission Operations

Christ for the Caribbean

God has opened a door for the Great Commission Mission to partner with Caribbean pastors in training soul winners for the Great Commission. We aim to provide resources and facilitate opportunities for these churches and pastors to saturate the Caribbean, now ripe for the Gospel.

Operation Light

While having assisted several church plants in Africa, the Great Commission Mission has aided in purchasing property and building materials for church facilities. We have also provided training materials so that Christians in Africa can shine the light of the Gospel for their fellow Africans in need of a Saviour.

Impact Jax

This ministry is reaching our Jerusalem. With a desire to reach more than one million people in the greater Jacksonville area, the Great Commission Mission assists like-minded churches in furthering the Gospel. We will continue to aid in starting more churches in our city, while also leaving blueprint for other churches to follow in their own cities.

Church Planting Revivals

Church Planting Revivals is a ministry to cities, towns, and communities with no Gospel witness. From planting churches to Gospel crusades, the Great Commission Mission and the CPR ministry will stand alongside church planters for the sake of the Gospel.

Missions Aviation

Based in Florida in the greater Jacksonville area, Missions Aviation assists the Great Commission Mission with the flexibility of private aircraft. This unique benefit bypasses many obstacles to world missions and accelerates the ability to advance the cause of Christ.. With the vision of a “Gospel fleet” worldwide, Missions Aviation provides training for those who desire to be involved in the aviation ministry.

Navajo Nation

The Navajo Nation has an estimated 500,000 Navajo people. Their primary residence is in the Four Corners area of the United States. The Great Commission Mission works with established ministries in the Navajo Nation, offering training and resources for them to reach their people.

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.
