World Gospel Mission (WGM) is an interdenominational Christian missionary agency headquartered in Marion, Indiana, United States. Aligned with the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition (Methodist) of Protestantism, WGM was founded on 10 June 1910 in University Park, Iowa as the Missionary Department of the National Association for the Promotion of Holiness.[2] Various Free Methodist, Global Methodist, Nazarene, and Wesleyan congregations, among others, support the World Gospel Mission.[3] As of 2018, WGM operates in 23 countries and supports 236 full-time missionaries, in addition to short-term team members and volunteers.[4]
