Transformed Together

Walking With Jesus

Among Peoples Everywhere

Connect is an international, interdenominational community committed to seeing lives, cultures, and communities flourish through the love of Jesus Christ. Rooted in faith and humility, we walk together in mutual discipleship, embodying the Gospel across every area of life.

Our callings are as diverse as the people who carry them, spanning classrooms, clinics, farms, businesses, the arts, churches, and places of quiet service. Wherever we’re led, we integrate faith, service, and excellence, trusting God to work through both ordinary rhythms and unexpected moments.

Guided by the values of mutuality, authenticity, integrity, growth, and community, we reflect Christ’s light into the world, joining Him in the slow, beautiful work of renewal.

OUR HISTORY

Connect was founded in 1987 out of Hong Kong by a small group of visionary individuals with a heart to live out the teachings of Jesus in intercultural contexts, particularly in locations closed to traditional evangelistic groups. From the start, Connect embraced a holistic approach to transformation, integrating faith, service, and professional excellence across diverse areas of society.

Rooted in Biblical principles and guided by the belief that real faith impacts real life, in the real world, the organization began by establishing businesses and educational initiatives throughout Asia. Over the years, Connect expanded into Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, fostering thriving communities and meaningful relationships.

Today, Connect spans eight countries with members serving as teachers, artists, NGO professionals, business leaders, and more. United by shared values of mutuality, authenticity, integrity, growth, and community, Connect equips individuals and families to bring hope, renewal, and transformation to the communities they are called into, reflecting Christ’s love and joining together in the building of God’s Kingdom.

OUR PURPOSE

We are created to glorify and find joy in God, walking in relationship with Him and reflecting His heart to others. As servant-hearted leaders, we embrace intercultural discipleship to embody Christ’s transformative love, walking humbly and boldly into diverse cultural and societal contexts to bring hope, renewal, and flourishing wherever God leads.
