Partnership

“The value of Connect 2 for smaller churches is to provide training and preparation for individuals longing to go on a short term missions trip. They have many connections around the world so options are numerous. Connect 2 has the expertise and resources to add dimension and growth to the local church.”
-Dr. Tom Halstead
The Master’s College

“Through the global partnership of Connect 2 they are assisting our church to prepare, equip, and send our people to the mission field with greater Kingdom impact and a lower administrative burden to our church body. Connect 2 has both the vision and the knowledge to help infect the local church with passion of the great Commission.”
-Todd Smith
Senior Pastor - Crossroads Community Church


Realization

"I was amazed at the change in my heart as a result of my brief stay in Haiti.  I have been affected more deeply, and humbled in more ways that I expected. I am in my late fifties and I feel jump started my experience in Haiti. I feel more alive, and I’ve experienced more spiritual growth as a result of those ten days ministering to the poor than I have in years.”
-Roger Ruddick
Retired Fire Chief

"When I decided to go on a missions trip with Connect 2 Ministries, I had not idea how drastically it would touch me.  I had heard people’s stories about how trips had changed their perspectives and their lives, but did not expect any such transformation for myself.  Our trip to Haiti was the single most touching event of my life; listening to people with absolutely nothing singing praises to the Lord, watching orphans dance for their Father, and seeing the lost come forward to accept the gift of the Savior was life-changing in a way that it is impossible to articulate."
-Mallory Utley
High School Student

“Before being part of a GO Team to South America, I was comfortable and complacent to just attend services on Sunday and participate in church activities locally.  After going on a short term mission I was able to see a completely different view of what God is saying when He tells us to be Light in the world. 
I saw what a ‘raw’ church body looks like without all of the distractions of our lives today.  I experienced God’s love and the love of other Christian brothers and sisters thousands of miles away even though we didn’t speak the same language.  I witnessed The Lord drawing unbelievers to Him and watched as He rewarded His children. 
After being part of a GO Team, I realized how disobedient I was to the Lord’s instruction to go out into the world and tell people about Him.  I see how selfish I was in my Christian walk.  I appreciate the different cultures of this world that worship and praise the same Lord that I know.  The greatest impact that GO Teams have had on my life is being in the midst of God’s works.  It is a blessing unmatched by anything in this world to be used so overtly by our Lord and to see His will being done here on earth.”
