CONNECT WITH THE COMMISSION
Jesus tells us in His Word to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. However, for many of us, that endeavor can seem overwhelming. You might wonder "Where would I go and how would I get there or what can I do to make a difference?"

BIMI's CONNECT program may help you answer those questions. By joining a CONNECT Team, you will find opportunities to use your talents and abilities for the cause of Christ while pursuing His will for your life. Every CONNECT Trip is led by an experienced BIMI Field Director who will organize and oversee all the necessary details.

Will you prayerfully consider BIMI CONNECT? You will be glad you did!


REASONS TO CONSIDER CONNECT

DEEPEN YOUR LOVE FOR GOD AND OTHERS — A CONNECT Trip allows people to step away from everyday life and deepen their love for God in the context of ministry. During your time on the mission field, you will begin to see the world for which Jesus Christ died through new eyes of compassion.

DEVELOP YOUR MINISTRY POTENTIAL — You may have dismissed the idea that God could use you personally to make a difference in the world and reach the lost. While on the mission field during a CONNECT Trip, you will be stretched by a variety of new cultural experiences and ministry opportunities. A CONNECT Trip will challenge your surrender and help you develop your full potential for service. You will also be able to explore the idea of missions as a life calling.

DISCOVER NEW POSSIBILITIES — Come alongside veteran missionaries as they share their experiences and show you the joys and challenges of missionary life. The work of a church-planting missionary is very rewarding. Great needs and even greater potential for ministry exist in our world today. Faithful servants of Christ must go out and reach their generation with the Gospel. Discover all this through BIMI CONNECT.
