“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.”

“Volunteers contributed 4,021 hours in 2023. They took part in office work, administrative and programming, fundraising, event planning, and served on missions trips.”

“Ct provided funds for 3 national missionaries in mexico city and 1 national missionary in chiapas, mexico to spread the gospel through twice monthly evangelistic outreaches, food distribution, medical & disaster relief (as needed), and support & encouragement for persecuted believers. Several hundred people have been reached with the gospel message and bibles, and various poor communities received practical help in and around mexico city. We sent funds for one community in chiapas, mexico to provide 2 water tanks and food packages for 200 people for a christmas outreach. In the summer, ct brought a team of 5 people to work with the missionaries in mexico city for a short-term mission trip, doing ministry with children and youth, bringing food packages and sharing the gospel in peoples homes, and helping with an agricultural project that helps provide food for the poor.”

“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 80 total children and teens from 7 villages participate in this program. The missionary also takes 40 elementary age students and 40 teens to week-long summer christian camps, which we raise 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 raised funds to help the missionary with some medical expenses. In the summer, ct brought a team of 4 people to do a day camp gospel outreach in one of the villages that the missionary works in. Approximately 30 kids attended camp for the week.”

“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.”
