A Message from the General Secretary
Dear Partners,
I’m pleased to announce the launch of our new Global Website and secure Partner Resource Centre with multi-language functionality. The new website will be able to translate up to five languages in English, Spanish, French, Čeština and soon, Arabic. The partner portal will be our new repository for all partner records and official documents from the Global Office. Here are some highlights:
- Global Website: This will be available for public view to provide information on who we are, what we do, and how we work. You may notice that we have deliberately left out information relating to one of our priority areas – Church Ministry and Gospel Outreach. This is not to dilute our focus on the gospel, but to protect the ministries of some of our partners serving in very restricted environments with a minority Christian population.
- The Partner Portal has five dedicated pages:
- The Library is organised by partner country and has folders for Agreements and MOUs, Annual reports, Audited financial Statements, General Ministry Information, Marketing and Promotional Materials, Projects Reports (Narrative and Financial) and Strategic Plans.
- The Congress page will replace the current Congress website. All information for the upcoming Congress 7 plus previous Congresses will be hosted on the page. The current congress website will be redirected to this page.
- The Global Office page has a Partner Directory, Calendar, and folders for our Constitution, Policies and Practices, Strategic Aims and Practices, Stewardship and Accountability, among others.
- Links to Resources provide another way of accessing our digital resources – currently the Electronic Central Profile Bank (ECPB) and the Ministry Project Manager (MPM). We are developing new applications that will be fully functional by the end of the year.
- The Learning Hub equips partners with new insights on key performance areas in our ministry.
- Partner Portal Access: you will have to register to access the portal. Once validated, your login credentials will be emailed to you.
- Partner Directory: We still have gaps in the partner directory and data which needs to be updated. We look forward to populating the fields with the information you will be providing.
I encourage you to explore the Global Website and Partner Resource Centre and see what they have to offer. This is a creative, low-cost solution that will bear much fruit when we all use it.
PS: We will be changing the domain for our email account. Look out for an email shortly.
With gratitude,
Edmond
