Global Outfitters

What Global Outfitters does

Global Outfitters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit missions mobilization organization headquartered at 2844 N College Ave, Fayetteville, Arkansas, operating as the missions arm of New Heights Church. Founded around 2017 with Nathan Allen as Directional Leader, the organization focuses on recruiting, training, and deploying individuals into short-term and long-term missions work, with a staff of 1–10 people led by Allen and mobilizers Mallory Easley and Heather Perry.

The core product set centers on structured mobilization programming: Spring Break missions trips (priced at $950/$650 for the 2025 cohort and $750 for the 2026 cohort), a $25 Missions Course, and the annual NWA for The Nations conference. The organization also co-sponsors the Furniture Friends furniture-relief ministry alongside Fellowship Bible Church and Forefront Experience, which extends operational reach into more than 60 countries and 200+ international homes. A coalition of 40+ mission agency partners — including IMB, SIM, Frontiers, ABWE, Pioneers, and AlBayt — provides the downstream pipeline for placing mobilized participants.

The business model is a hybrid of donations and program fees within a local-church ecosystem. Donations and parent-church support (New Heights Church) cover overhead and scholarship needs, while per-participant program fees for trips and courses contribute a smaller, transaction-based revenue stream. Distribution is anchored in the Northwest Arkansas church community and extended through the inter-agency partner network and annual conference, with no disclosed technology stack, digital products, or remote-delivery services.

Direct peers

• SIM (Serving In Mission): Interdenominational global mission sending agency. Comparable as a listed partner for field deployment and as a peer in the international missions sending ecosystem.
• Frontiers: Mission sending agency focused on Muslim world peoples. Comparable as a listed partner for Global Outfitters and as a peer operating in the same sending ecosystem for hard-to-reach populations.
• Radius International: Bible translation and church planting training organization in Mexico. Comparable as a partner that specifically trains Global Outfitters' workers (Nate and Kate White) for Asia Pacific deployment, and as a niche peer in cross-cultural training.
• ABWE International: Mission sending agency emphasizing church planting globally. Comparable as a listed partner and as a peer in the international Christian mission sending space.
• Pioneers: Mission sending agency focused on unreached people groups. Comparable as a listed deployment partner and as a peer in the broader ecosystem of organizations preparing and sending global workers from the U.S.
• The Traveling Team: National Christian missions mobilization organization that travels to campuses and churches to inspire Great Commission participation. Directly comparable: Global Outfitters' director Nathan Allen previously served with The Traveling Team for 4 years, and they co-host Spring Break LA trips.
• Bridges International: Campus ministry focused on connecting American students with international students for friendship and evangelism. Directly comparable to Global Outfitters' international student outreach in NWA, and an active program partner.
• Perspectives on the World Christian Movement: Foundational missions education course provider. Global Outfitters has run the Perspectives course in NWA for over 30 years, making it both a regional licensee/partner and the most direct functional peer for missions mobilization content.

Broad incumbents

• International Mission Board (IMB): Southern Baptist global mission sending agency and the largest U.S. Protestant mission board. Functions both as a Flagship-tier deployment partner for Global Outfitters' workers and as an incumbent operating at vastly larger scale.
• Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU): Large, well-funded national collegiate ministry organization with missions mobilization components. Comparable as an incumbent mobilizing students for global Christian service, but operates at much greater scale and across many campuses.
