“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
– Habakkuk 2:14
Opsarion?
It means “little fish” in Greek.
Followers of Jesus were told to go to all nations to share what He did to rebuild relationship for all sinners [those who miss the mark of holiness] with God the Father. We share in all the little places this Good News of Jesus with all people, equipping believers to:
Know…
God’s Word (the Bible)
Grow…
Relationship Building
Go…
Make Disciples
In the first century after Jesus' resurrection, being one of His followers was dangerous. Religious leaders like the Pharisees and Sadducees saw Christians as a threat to Judaism, and the Romans suppressed any group they feared might challenge their authority. As a result, Jesus' disciples and many other believers in "The Way" (an early name for the Christian community) faced persecution.
To protect themselves, they developed a secret sign to identify fellow believers. One person would draw an arc in the dirt, and if the other person completed it with an intersecting arc—forming the shape of a fish, or ichthus (the Greek word for fish)—they knew they had found an ally.
We like the play on the word opsarion to remind us that we little, but with God we can do big things.
What We Do
At Global Opsarion, our mission is to train and empower
disciples for Christ.
Join a GO Team
Serve on a mission trip or go on a pilgrimage with the focus of discipling others.
Make Disciples
Jesus said go in Matthew 28:19 to all believers and to make disciples. We want to equip you and send you to see this happen.
Get Equipped
Our discipleship curriculum is tailored to help you grow into a disciple-maker who can lead others in their walk with Christ.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, we want to be a resource to help you grow closer to God and make a lasting impact for Jesus.
We can’t wait for you to join us on this mission!
Matthew 28:19-20
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Mission Trips
Our mission teams provide a unique opportunity to serve, learn, and grow. Participants build practical skills by serving others, fostering relationships, and helping believers deepen their walk with God as disciple-makers. Traveling to diverse cultures allows team members to understand local needs and deliver tools that empower communities. In the process, they grow spiritually, equipping others to live Spirit-filled lives grounded in God's Word.
Pilgrimages
Ready to go deep? Pilgrimages offer immersive journeys on trails like “The Camino de Santiago,” in Spain and Portugal, “The Via Francigena” in Italy, or “The Appalachian Trail” focussed on learning and practicing discipleship on the trail with other pilgrims. These 10-day to 2-week adventures are designed to challenge you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, preparing you for a lifetime of discipleship. No matter your age or ability, SGTs help you grow into your full potential as you follow His call to “go where you go.”
Discipleship Curriculum (Coming Soon)
Our curriculum provides a comprehensive guide to discipleship—helping you understand how to engage others, live out your faith, and lead others to do the same. Whether you’re seeking truth or already following Jesus, it equips you with practical steps to grow in your faith and guide others in theirs.
While designed to be most effective with a discipler—a guide who models and teaches these truths—you can also navigate it independently with the resources provided. Dive in, learn, grow, and “GO as you go!”
For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, “‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
— Acts 13:47
