TGC represents both continuity and change for Bill and Yvonne Taylor.  Continuity in that their commitment to the mission of God, the global church and cross-cultural ministry is unchanged. They are profoundly grateful to the partnership team that began with them in 1968 when they first drove to Central America and has grown with them over the decades despite ministry and geographical changes. 

 
 
 

Yvonne and Bill based for 17 years in Guatemala with Camino-Global (formally CAM Int, now merged into AVANT) at the Seminario Teológico Centroamericano, and in 1976 co-led the team that planted a vibrant local church in Guatemala (Centro Bíblico El Camino) that continues to pray for them. Since leaving Latin America in 1985, they dedicated 30 years to the Mission Commission of World Evangelical Alliance. That assignment concluded at the end of 2016. 

TGC was created in 2011 to provide a new platform to release Bill’s calling in this latter stage of his life as mentor, teacher, consultant, speaker and writer. Starting in 2017 Bill dedicated full-time to the vision, projects, partnerships and programs of TGC. In 2018 began to focus his activities primarily, but not exclusively, on mentoring and writing. 

Bill freely moves into new dimensions of ministry that reflect his calling as an elder, a mentor, a mission veteran, writer and statesman.

Yvonne is Bill’s full colleague in ministry, many times serving as his silent partner. She is Bill’s muse, wisdom-source, and editor of his writings. She is an intercessor and “watchwoman on the walls”. In her own right she exercises her gifts and passions.  They have been partners in life, love, marriage, and mission ministry since their wedding in 1967. They want to finish well, which means coming to the end of life faithful to their spiritual and marital vows, marked by integrity and willing to pay the price of transformational discipleship at this season of life.

The TGC platform guarantees accountability, counsel, and legal protection for the leadership team under the watch-care of a competent and committed core of board members. This structure allows for proper accounting of ministry and services, financial stewardship and the capacity to issue tax-deductible receipts. 

TGC was incorporated by the State of Texas in January, 2010, and the Internal Revenue Service granted its 501 © (3) status in September, 2011.

TGC’s  primary income stream comes from long-term ministry partners who have invested in the life and ministry of Yvonne and Bill Taylor since they left for Latin America in December 1968.  Churches and foundations have played a key role in their financial journey. These partnerships are crucial to the future and broader ministry of the Taylors through TGC.  They are welcomed and will be utilized according to the vision of TGC and the requests of the donor. They are also keenly aware of and thankful that these global-minded friends also intercede on behalf of the Taylors and the work of TGC.
