The GCn is a mission focused social networking tool created to be a secure environment where missions collaboration is facilitated. Already we are hearing testimonials of how the GCn is aiding mission workers in many ways including: connecting mission workers to valuable resources; helping to initiate new friendships; providing a platform for championing a cause and attracting partnership as well as prayer support; and the sharing of ideas, strategies and information.
Earlier this year we made the decision to put our GCn rollout on hold awaiting a major mobile platform update to our GCn software. We are excited to announce this platform will launch early in 2015. Existing members will receive information about how they can update to our newest platform.
This new platform will make our rollout and adoption around the world much easier. Our members will no longer have to use a web interface to sign up for or connect on GCn. We will be able to feature resources from partner networks and members. It also brings with it a host of new and exciting features.
You will now be able to access the GCn on your iPhone,
Android, tablet or desktop. We will be launching a brand new App making the user experience fit the rhythm of daily life, so it's one click away no matter where you are.
The GCn makes sharing and receiving prayer
requests fast and intuitive. The newly redesigned Prayer Wall helps those in need be prayed for and supported instantly. You will still be able to add comments and send words of encouragement.
The Serve feature gives our members a place to ask for help and mobilize organic volunteer opportunities. It accelerates ministry by making needs known and by organizing the efforts to help. Our hope is that this continues to encourage a spirit of collaboration.
With the Learning features members will be able to watch or listen to shared content including archived and live-streaming. Members can catch training resources or podcasts, whatever the content, here and discuss it together.
With a new and improved Calendar app we will make it easier than ever to have a shared Global calendar. This is a place where you can feature your conference or event and invite friends from around the world.
The Discussion Board gives members and groups a place to meet and talk about what is important to them. The Discussion Board is also a great place to share documents and collaborate on just about anything.
The new Classifieds app will allow members to exchange goods and services within their trusted mission or church community.
The possibilities are endless. We truly believe that GCn has the potential to revolutionize how we connect, communicate and collaborate as the mission world fulfilling the Great Commission.
