Global Ministries

In the United Methodist Church, Global Ministries is not about mere programs, projects or training sessions. Whether in relief work, church construction, or community-health programs, we believe that quite ordinary men and women are transformed into a holy community – a church that is a sign of God's presence as we pursue God's mission.

In the Northern Illinois Conference, our local churches make a commitment to support local, regional and international mission projects and ministries through the Rainbow Covenant.

Bolivia Partnership

The Northern Illinois Conference entered into partnership with the Methodist Church of Bolivia in June of 2008. This relationship includes:

• Leadership training
• Volunteers in Mission teams to help build and restore facilities in Bolivia
• Medical teams to support health ministries in Bolivia
• Social justice work to support indigenous people
• Join with Chicago Religious Leadership Network to promote understanding of Bolivia among Northern Illinois
