  • "The Global Connections network will not only link your local church to the combined experience of past and present mission workers but will also enable your church to participate in sharing the future face of missionary endeavour in the 21st century."
    Mike Frisby, City Church Cambridge

  • "This local church now thinks global as a result of being involved with Global Connections. Christ’s love for the world finds its way into our prayer meetings, holiday planning, financial strategy, weekly news-sheet, mission partnerships, and bible ministry."

  • Bosnia

    Pray for the Balkans

    Three lively churches, two in Croatia (Dubrava and Varaždin), and one in Bosnia (Novi Travnik), aim to start planting a total of 10 new churches over the next 5 years - a great undertaking.

  • Bangladesh

    Pray for Bangladesh

    The low-lying plains of Bangladesh suffer extensively from floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes and monsoon flooding – all of which leave their destructive mark upon the country.

  • Japan

    Pray for Japan

    A high proportion of Japanese who become Christians, especially younger people and students, do so whilst overseas in countries such as the UK. Ask God to lead those working to reach overseas Japanese to many who are seeking hope and answers. Most Japanese new believers find it difficult to settle into a church when they return home as church culture in Japan is very different from what they experienced abroad. Read more...

  • Malawi

    Pray for Malawi

    We urge you to pray for rural churches and their pastors... Intermittent rains at the start of the maize growing season have meant that the imminent maize harvest will be variable.

  • Tunisia

    Pray for Tunisia

    A little over a year on from the revolution of 14th January 2011, Tunisia is still in the process of transition from dictatorship, corruption and censorship, to a new era of democracy, freedom of speech and fair opportunity. Old habits die hard and those keen to exercise their new freedom are having to learn to move at a slower pace. Read more...

Working together for the gospel

Global Connections is a growing network of UK churches and agencies with a passion for mission. A key part of our vision is to serve, resource and encourage churches as they explore their role in God's plan for the world. Our network's aim is to put mission at the heart of the church and the church at the heart of mission in a way that is relevant to today's society in all its diversity. We do this by arranging opportunities to share ideas and experiences, as well as providing access to the latest mission thinking, and directing our members to relevant resources and support.
