We were reminded how God has used the country offices’ collaborations for decades; a talk given in Adelaide by HCJB Australia inspired a young student from Lesotho to start a Christian radio station in her country with HCJB. 20 years later – Mary is a part of the SSA team! Of course, there are still challenges in working together as autonomous, multi-faceted organizations; however, the GLT remains committed to this. Our commitment to collaborative projects, mobilization, training, and fundraising remains stronger than ever.

Healthcare ministries were discussed in detail and the country offices affirmed that they are still keen to help recruit and support efforts in this area, especially to support existing projects.

The GLT Partnership Framework is a dynamic guide for country offices and regions, shaping our collaborative efforts. Regular reviews ensure alignment and relevance, aiming to update and refine it with future GLT members in mind. This process, reflecting God’s grace, has produced a more concise and robust framework, supporting our shared goal to spread Jesus’ message of love.

It was a blessing for this diverse group to meet, representing regions and country offices united in purpose.
