Global

We are an international collective of reflective practitioners that we call Associates. We also have strategic partnerships with organisations and networks from every continent seeking to glorify God in every nation.

Missions

Our primary concern is to advance God’s mission as revealed in the Biblical narrative. Missions (plural) is our human response to God’s revelation, resulting in God’s kingdom being extended through faith in Christ.

Community

We are an inter-generational global community of missions leaders intersecting alliances, movements, networks, agencies,
churches and ministries with the objective of strengthening participation in God’s mission.

Our Objective

We seek to strengthen participation in God’s mission by being a central point of collaboration for missions alliances, movements, networks, agencies, churches and ministries worldwide. Collaboration emerges as leaders from these different groups, with their distinct missions focuses, convene to discuss issues critical to the wellbeing and effective outcomes of global missions and agree on ways to address those issues.

Issues discussed consistently include the need:

  • to see the gospel propagated where it is least known
  • to equip Christian leaders in new indigenous movements
  • to increase biblical literacy among followers of Christ, and
  • to nurture Christ-centred communities of faith that positively impact their society for whole-of-life wellbeing
  • with a particular concern for amplifying voices of the Majority World and women in missions conversations.
