“Connectree's vision is to help missionaries have the care and support they need, financially, physically, emotionally and spiritually, to carry out the ministry that god has called them to do. Our 5 distinctives are: missionary care, evangelism, support for the persecuted church, missions mobilization & trips and relief/medical work.”

“We engaged in ukrainian refugee relief in 2022. Additionally, we expanded our missionary advocacy efforts. More detail on these programs can be found elsewhere in this 990.”

“We focus on two other programs within our exempt purpose. Moldova ministry: ct provided funds for 1 national missionary in moldova to spread the gospel using taekwondo instruction for youth, combined with bible study at each session. Around 60 total children and teens from 6 villages participate in this program. The missionary also takes 40 elementary age students and 40 teens to week-long summer christian camps, which we provided funds for. He also does community outreaches at easter and christmas, taking bibles, gifts and a gospel program into the public schools and door to door in the villages. Hundreds of students, their teachers, social workers and parents have heard the gospel through these outreaches. We also provided funds to help the missionary with some unexpected medical expenses. Missionary advocacy program: ct comes alongside churches with a missions engagement assessment tool to assess how deep the church's level of engagement is with their missions program. We consult with them to help implement best practices in their missions programs. Our goal is to help them care for and encourage their missionaries, raise local and international missions awareness in their church, promote missions mobilization and connect them with other churches who support the same missionaries. Ct takes multi-church short term missions trips and helps train and lead short term trips for other churches as well. We spoke at several churches where we addressed missions engagement on a personal level as well as at a church wide level, going through the missions engagement assessment and giving practical guidance to those present.”
