Gloo

Are you ready to revolutionize the way your church connects with your community?

Then you’re going to want to learn about the Gloo Explorer Connection Platform.

Here’s how it works.

Gloo partners with renowned Christian outreach campaigns like He Gets Us, K Love, and Churches Care. These campaigns are already reaching and inspiring millions of people across the country.
When someone is inspired by these incredible campaigns to explore faith and wants to connect with a church, all they have to do is send a text.
That’s right! Just by texting in, Gloo’s innovative platform will seamlessly introduce them to a local church in their area.
A pastor, ministry leader or volunteer receives a notification in the platform and can build a connection through texting.

What’s really inspired me to share this message is that Gloo has already made over 170k connections between explorers and local churches.

This just works!

BELAY Solutions

Imagine taking a week-long vacation or even just spending an entire day with your family—and you don’t check in on work once. Maybe you don’t even bring your phone?

Now, I know for a lot of us, the thought of leaving our phone behind sends a cold shiver down our spine for a lot of reasons, but if the first thing that went through your mind was, “I could never check out of work that long,” or “things at work would fall apart without me,” that might mean you’re not delegating enough, or you’re not delegating to the right people.

As leaders, and especially as pastors, we’ll never really thrive in our leadership if we’re stuck in the day-to-day grind of mundane tasks.

BELAY’s modern staffing solutions have been helping busy leaders like you delegate the details for over a decade. With BELAY, you can get intentionally matched with a U.S.-based Virtual Assistant, Accounting Specialist, or Social Media Manager to level up your leadership through the power of delegation.

To help you get started, BELAY is offering a free resource, The Top 25 Tasks a Pastor Can Delegate to an Assistant. It has 25 ideas for things that you might need to start delegating so you can focus on what matters most.

To claim it, just text CAREY to 55123.

In no time, you’ll be back to doing what only you can do: Growing your church.
