2019 Leadership Summit Objectives
Dear fellow participants in God’s mission,
Grace and peace to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
WHAT NEW DIRECTION DOES GOD HAVE FOR THE MC?
This is the primary question we hope to be answered as a select group of Mission Commission leaders and other stakeholders gather in Kuala Lumpur at the start of 2019 to explore “where to from here?”. The summit is by invitation only but we have worked hard to select a broad and diverse representation of stakeholders to participate as we seek the mind of Christ together.
From a deep understanding of our history and a reflection on our current context, we will seek to look ahead to the needs of the global missions community in an era of great complexity, fluidity and uncertainty. Pray for all participants, that we will experience great wisdom and discernment as we dwell together in unity under Christ for the sake of the gospel.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT WAS TO:
- Gain a clear understanding of the MC, its role within the worldwide missions community and what we are called to do together
- Work on a critical review of the MC structure and how we operate, including membership, governance, leadership, finances and service to our constituents
- Discern together the opportunities and future of the MC, including the kind of leader and structures needed, with action steps to take us forward
- Foster renewed fellowship among key MC stakeholders during the gathering, and
- Develop a strategy to increase a sense of belonging and engagement among Mission Commission Associates and the multiple mission-oriented task-forces, networks, movements, and associations connected with the Mission Commission.
