The Issue with Traditional Missions Boards

Most churches still have a missions wall or missions “board”, but in many cases it has become something people walk past without noticing.

Photos fade over time.
Prayer cards become outdated.
New missionaries require constant reprinting and rearranging.

Even more importantly, the missions board is static. It shows very little information and rarely changes.

For many church members, the missionaries supported by their church are simply names and faces on a wall.

What a Digital Missions Display Changes

A Digital Missions Display transforms the missions board from a static wall into an interactive experience.

Instead of just seeing a missionary photo, members can explore the mission field through an interactive world map. They can tap a missionary and open a profile that includes ministry information, photos, videos, and updates.

This allows the congregation to see the global reach of their church in a way that is far more engaging and memorable.

A Living Missions Board

One of the greatest advantages of a Digital Missions Display is that it becomes a living missions board.

Missionaries can be updated instantly.
New missionaries can be added without reprinting anything.
Prayer letters, photos, and videos can be included in missionary profiles.

Instead of becoming outdated, the missions display continues to grow and change as the church’s missions program develops.

Helping the Next Generation Connect with Missions

Younger generations are accustomed to interactive technology. A touchscreen display allows children, teens, and young adults to explore missionaries in a way that captures their attention.

Many pastors have found that children especially enjoy exploring the map and learning where missionaries are serving around the world.

This creates natural opportunities for families to talk about missions and pray for missionaries together.

Making the Harvest Field Visible

One of the challenges churches face today is keeping the mission field visible before the congregation.

When members regularly see and interact with the missionaries their church supports, it strengthens their connection to the work of missions.

A Digital Missions Display helps accomplish this by placing the global mission field in front of the church in a visual and engaging way.

Supporting Missions Conferences and Missionary Visits

Digital Missions Displays are also helpful during missions conferences and when missionaries visit the church.

Pastors can show where missionaries serve.
Members can explore missionary profiles before or after services.
The congregation can better understand the global impact of the church’s missions program.

A Tool to Strengthen Missions Awareness

The goal of replacing a traditional missions board is not simply to use new technology.

The goal is to help the church remain connected to the harvest field and to the missionaries God has called to serve around the world.

A Digital Missions Display helps churches keep missionaries visible, encourage prayer, and strengthen the congregation’s awareness of the work of missions.
