1. Networking
Ever feel isolated? As a network we provide unique links to others involved in mission and who have the same passions as you. Throughout the year there is a variety of events and forums, covering a vast range of topics and issues. There is probably one that fits you. Members attend at greatly discounted prices.
2. Christian Vocations
Needing someone to fill a specific role? Advertise with Christian Vocations at a discounted price. There are also special rates for advertisements in Mission Matters and the Short Term Service Directory publications that both enjoy a wide circulation. Further services include Designate where vocational advice and resources to help you find your niche are provided.
3. Helping churches
Confused by the number of agencies and unsure how to be involved? As a network we seek to resource churches so that mission can be at the heart of church life.
4. Raising standards
Want to improve what you are doing? Many of the forums provide sharing and learning opportunities. Global Connections also has a growing portfolio of codes, policy guidelines and pro-forma.
5. Exploring the future of mission
Don't have the time to think or reflect? What are the key issues in mission? What does the future hold? The network provides opportunities to think about key issues and reflect theologically.
6. Information resource
Looking for that resource you cannot find? We are here to help. Maybe we don't know, but someone in the network will.
7. Travel and medical insurance
Through Banner Financial Services and MasterPolicy we have negotiated a special travel and medical insurance scheme at reduced prices for members.
8. Pensions
Even mission workers eventually retire! Global Connections has a unique group pension scheme for mission partners overseas via Kingsworld Walder Ltd. We also offer access to a money purchase scheme for workers in the UK or a Stakeholder scheme.
9. Joint projects
Too small to go it alone or want to ensure good co-operation? Many members link together on joint projects and form relationships though meeting in the network.
10. and finally...
It's better together. As a Fulani proverb says "One finger cannot milk a cow". The greatest benefit is just being part of all that is happening.
