A society at a crossroads
Wednesday 21st July 2021Following an incredibly difficult year when almost no international travel was possible, members of Global Fellowship wanted to celebrate the amazing work our member organisations have done throughout the pandemic. Despite all the odds the BB family has kept operating across the world. As a result, we recently had our very first Global Fellowship Week from 17th to 23rd May.
Everything of course happened online but it was great to have contributions from so many different nationalities and see people connecting with others they had never met before. Each day started with a short prayer for the day based on the theme of children in the Bible. We also broadcast stories for younger children using various story tellers from across the world. Other activities included a talk on the history of Global Fellowship by our archivist, Colin Swinton, and many members took part in an international connections workshop webinar. The week culminated in a special virtual service for Pentecost Sunday led by Tim Pratt, Chair of Trustees.
The total audience was greater than we anticipated, reaching over 9,000 people and many of the videos have now been watched more than 500 times. If you were not able to join us, you can still find all the content on the Global Fellowship Facebook page.
We would like to support more international connections so if your Company, Battalion or District is interested in partnering with the Brigade in another part of the world please do let us know by contacting admin@globalfellowship.net.
