For members who already own a business or a brand
Upscaling Opportunity
GLEVUN, the Global Loveworld Economic Vocational Upscaling Network, exists so that a member with a good product does not stay limited to the people who happen to live near them. The upscaling programme is the way onto it.
You tell the ministry what your business makes or does, and which kinds of support would move it forward. There is no single package: a tailor who needs somewhere to sell online and a manufacturer who needs to move goods across a border are asking for different things, and the form lets you say which.
What the programme offers
An e-commerce page
A place on the platform where members and the wider public can find your products and buy them.
Global logistics
Support getting what you produce to customers beyond your own city, and beyond your own country.
Advertising
Your brand put in front of the Loveworld network, rather than paying to reach strangers who do not know you.
Customer support
Help handling enquiries and orders, so that a growing business does not outgrow the person running it.
Market access
Introductions to buyers, distributors and partners in places you have no way of reaching alone.
Business growth
Guidance on pricing, production and scale, drawn from the ministry's work on cost economy.
Before you start
The form asks for all of this. Gathering it first is the difference between finishing in one sitting and abandoning the form half way.
- Your business or brand name
- The products or services you offer, and the category they fall under
- Which kinds of support you want (you may choose more than one)
- Your ministry or zone, and the name of your church
- A phone number, email address and KingsChat handle you actually check
What happens after you apply
The ministry reviews every submission.
You are contacted on the phone number, email address or KingsChat handle you gave, which is why they should be ones you check.
Businesses taken forward are onboarded onto the platform and told what is needed next.
