Welcome to John Tarolli, PhD

Partner with a Christian ministry focused on global missions to impact nations for Christ. 


Are you a pastor, church leader, or missionary with a heart for the Great Commission? I invite you to connect with John Tarolli, PhD, a global ministry dedicated to spreading the Gospel across the world. With over two decades of ministry experience spanning scores of countries, God has allowed us to build a unique platform that partners with local churches and leaders worldwide to bring the message of Jesus Christ to the nations. 


What began in Dallas, Texas under the spiritual mentorship of the late Pastor J. Don George has grown into a fully self-managed missions initiative—by God's grace and provision. We personally coordinate every detail—from working with foreign church leadership to arranging travel and scheduling missionary teams. Through the years, the Lord has built a vast global network, enabling us to mobilize passionate believers to serve across a wide range of mission fields. 


Originally, this effort was fueled by fellow white-collar professionals who used their vacation time and personal finances to answer the call. Today, the team includes individuals from all walks of life, including blue-collar tradesmen, medical doctors, dentists, and registered nurses, who are united by one mission: to make Christ known. 


If your church or ministry shares this vision, we would love to explore how we can partner with John Tarolli, PhD to expand God's Kingdom together.

WHY WE SHARE LIMITED PHOTOS FROM THE MISSION FIELD

You may notice that the photos shared on this site include only a small number of individuals from each setting. This is intentional—and it’s done with care, wisdom, and protection in mind, especially within the context of our Christian ministry.


Our priority is to safeguard the privacy and safety of the pastors, medical professionals, local ministers, and the indigenous communities we serve through global missions. Many of the missionaries featured, including those associated with John Tarolli, PhD, live and work in sensitive environments, and sharing detailed or extensive imagery could compromise their security.


For this reason, we have chosen to publish a carefully curated, minimal photo collection rather than a full visual archive of our mission efforts. These selected images allow us to celebrate and share God’s work in fulfilling the Great Commission, while honoring the confidentiality and well-being of those who are faithfully serving and being served in the field.


We thank you for your understanding—and invite you to continue praying for all those involved in these mission initiatives.
