About G.O.D. Int'l
Global Outreach Developments International (G.O.D. Int'l) is a non profit 501 (c) organization established in 1996 by Gregg and Tara Garner. Since our beginnings in Nashville, Tennessee, we have grown to host headquarters and programs for development in 4 international regions: Latin America, East Africa, India, and South East Asia. Our efforts focus primarily on educational growth, community service, and third world development.
Equipping a globally conscious community to serve the poor and marginalized through education, advocacy and empowerment, without discrimination, demonstrating unconditional love.
OUR MISSION
We are a movement that transplants communities of global denizens, who in solidarity with the poor and marginalized, embody the ethics of justice and freedom to bring about societal transformation where education and autonomy exist for all, without discrimination. We do not value popular American ideals associated with violence, domination, neocolonialism and the attitude that the country has favored nation status with God and is unaccountable to the voice of the global community. Instead, as an educated community who values the preservation of life as governed by the ethical teachings of the bible, we will empower global citizens to implement the justice of God in their societies, through non-violent activity focused on education and capacity development of the poor and marginalized, as demonstrated in the life and message of Jesus of Nazareth.
OUR VISION
Educators, in the holistic sense, regarding health (both physical and mental), agriculture, technology, ethics and social services.
Educators
Advocates, to come alongside those who need representation in the most vulnerable situations.
Advocates
Administrators, to facilitate the development of such agencies to be self-sustaining; empowering communities to experience a healthy interdependence

OUR STORY
From 1995 to present, G.O.D. Int'l has been focusing its activities, developing its capacity, and making efficient its processes to serve the poor and marginalized. Initially based out of Antioch, we began in just a few office spaces developing educational initiatives, community service efforts, and sending missions groups abroad. Since then, GOD Nashville has grown to expand over 40 Acres in Hopewell Neighborhood in Old Hickory, TN and established 4 Headquarter locations in Uganda, El Salvador, India, and The Philippines.
Though our work is in five regions of the world, the ONE team mentality allows us to coordinate our resources to enact our mission globally, on a local level. Our most valuable resource being the human one, rigorous training and years of shared experiences between team members has enhanced our network so that recipients of our services receive not only the benefit of the few positioned to serve in their local area, but also the resource of knowledge and experience found in the global network of our ONE team.
