Mission Reps

Mission Reps are primarily people who are appointed and authorised to promote global mission in UK churches. Some represent mission agencies and are employed full-time or part-time, while others work as volunteers. Some are responsible for a small area of the UK and others for a huge section.

'Reps' meetings in some parts of the UK also involve church representatives and church leaders. These are all people committed to furthering world mission. The various reps meetings around the UK have very differing structures, membership and operation. Some are open to anyone at any time while others require a membership and a joining fee, but all essentially exist to help promote global mission in UK churches.

Global Connections has recently launched an intiative called ‘Being the Best’, which is a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programme for all those who represent mission in the churches of England. The programme in three of the venues will be linked to the ‘reps meetings’ that have been organised over the years to provide sharing, encouragement, prayer support and the opportunity to plan joint activities together. This important aspect of the ‘reps’ getting together will continue and the CPD programme will be incorporated into the day to avoid additional travelling and the need to allocate an extra day - the CPD programme in the South West is the exception.
