We Are So Thankful You Are Considering Partnering with Global Strategy to Make a Difference

Dear Friend,

We are so thankful you are considering partnering with Global Strategy to make a difference in the community in which you serve and we value the opportunity to work with you in welcoming the Kingdom of God. The goal of Global Strategy is to connect local passions in strategic global partnerships and Project Link accomplishes this through Christ-centered empowerment, creativity, sustainability, and accountability.

We are committed to community empowerment. We believe any work we do should start and end with the local church. Empowering a church in a community gives them the voice to share the message of Christ within their context.

Finding holistic solutions to global issues requires us to embrace creativity. We believe we are called to make bold choices in the face of injustice and take risks for the sake of others. We want to dream big dreams with you about what God may be calling us to engage in together.

Long-term solutions must begin and end with intentional sustainability. We know every context is different and we aspire to create interdependent relationships in all we do. We want to partner with you!

We believe in an approach that seeks equitable accountability. We are engaged with projects from the beginning to the end so that you have the support you need. We also help in the challenging task of translating cultural values between North Americans and the rest of the world in terms of project accountability.

At Global Strategy, we see the following Project Partnership Proposal as a living document. We want to help make your project a success both within your country and with those who will support your project. For that reason, we desire a conversation about the project and view this proposal as the foundation of that dialogue.

We want to join you so that together we can strive to care for the whole person, living in whole communities, throughout the whole world.
