Below I have described the different use cases for MisisonaryConnect.app and the Digital Missions Display as a whole.
Church Lobby Missions Display #
Many churches install a touchscreen display in the church lobby that shows the missionaries they support.
Members can explore an interactive world map, view missionary families, read prayer letters, and watch ministry videos before or after services. This helps keep missions visible before the church and encourages members to learn more about the missionaries they support.
Missions Conference Preparation #
Churches often update missionary profiles before a missions conference or missions emphasis week.
Photos, prayer letters, and ministry updates can be added so the congregation can learn more about each missionary during the conference. The display becomes a helpful visual resource that supports preaching, presentations, and missions giving.
Missionary Prayer Engagement #
MissionaryConnect can be used to help church members stay engaged in prayer for missionaries.
Members can explore the world map and view missionaries by region or country. Families, youth groups, and children can easily see where missionaries serve and learn how to pray for their work.
Additionally, the software provides a “Prayer Request” section that displays prayer requests from the Church Profile. Prayer Requests are accessible by a tap or click on the Spinning Globe and Flat Map.
Missionary Profile Management #
Church administrators can maintain missionary profiles within the system and keep information organized and up to date.
Profiles may include missionary families, ministry descriptions, photos, videos, prayer letters, and other helpful information that helps the church stay connected to the mission field.
Church Missions Archive #
MissionaryConnect can also serve as a digital missions archive.
Churches can preserve information about missionaries they have supported over the years. This creates a historical record of the church’s missions involvement and allows members to explore both current and past mission work.
Christian College Missions Displays #
Christian colleges can use MissionaryConnect to display missionaries connected to their school, alumni serving on the field, or ministries supported by the institution.
By presenting missionaries on an interactive map or profile display, students can see where graduates and ministry partners are serving around the world. This helps keep missions visible on campus and encourages students to consider God’s call to the mission field.
The system can also be used during missions conferences, chapel services, or special missions emphasis events.
Traveling Evangelists and Ministry Presentations #
Traveling evangelists and ministry representatives can use MissionaryConnect as a visual presentation tool when visiting churches.
Instead of relying only on printed materials or slide presentations, evangelists can display an interactive map, ministry updates, photos, and videos that help churches better understand the work God is doing through their ministry.
This allows a visiting ministry to clearly communicate their burden and show the scope of their outreach in a way that is engaging and easy to follow.
Missionaries Displaying Supporting Churches #
Missionaries themselves can use MissionaryConnect to maintain a profile and display the churches that support their ministry.
With their own account, a missionary can organize information about supporting churches, share ministry updates, and present their work through photos, videos, and prayer letters.
This creates a simple way for missionaries to show how God is using local churches to make their work possible while also helping supporters stay connected to the field.
Target Audience and Use Cases #
MissionaryConnect is designed to serve churches, ministries, and individuals who want to keep missions visible and organized in a clear, visual format. While many churches use MissionaryConnect for interactive displays, the platform can be used in several different ministry settings.
Below are common ways MissionaryConnect is used.
