The work that God is doing throughout the world is a testimony of His worth as well as His love for the nations. Our International Workers (IW) are given a unique perspective by being in the front-row seat of some of the great things God is doing internationally. You have a wonderful opportunity to bring the excitement of that work before your church by hosting an International Worker for an event(s).
As you communicate with our creative access IW in anticipation of their visit as well as while they are on the field, please follow these guidelines:
While introducing your IW to your church either in public, in writing, or on social media (including online bulletins), please use the following guidelines for our IW's serving in creative access location.
We want the time with your IW to be an encouragement to both your church and your IW. Please take the time to read this document in order to find some helpful hints for your upcoming IW visit.
The Alliance website has excellent resources for promoting missions in your church. You can find videos, logos, posters, pictures and more here:
Introducing your church to these worship songs can help you to bring a missions' focus throughout the year. There are six songs that are included in the Bible Study below that would be an excellent addition to your worship set.
Teaching Resources
It is clearly ideal to have actual IW's in our churches to help teach, cast vision, and encourage missions involvement for your church. But that can't always happen- nor does it typically happen over an extended period of time. Here are some resources to help your church engage in a missions' focus either in preparation for an IW visit, or to promote missions throughout the year.

Children's Sunday School
(12 Week)
Engaging our children in lessons that focus on God's global work is very important. Children are able to see how they, as kids, can participate even now in the work God is doing throughout the world. This 12-week curriculum is a great recourse for helping children see their part in that work.
Please note: there is a link to a downloadable power point that goes with each lesson. This link is in the actual lesson.
