Strengthening participation in God’s mission.

The Mission Commission exists to catalyse a community of global leaders and provide a platform for multi-cultural voices that advance God’s mission by:
1) identifying opportunities and challenges to our collective efforts to propagate the gospel to all nations and
2) promoting innovative solutions based on robust biblical principles.

Some 250 MC Associates (representative leaders from our global constituency) from 85 national mission movements in seven regions make up the global body of the Mission Commission.

We work together in identifying and addressing common issues in the global missions community through joint research, gathering to discuss findings, planning and executing cooperative projects, and developing widely accessible resources that promote the health and growth of Evangelical cross-cultural mission entities around the globe. Projects like the development of African National Mission Movements and the Global Dialogue Forum have greatly shaped missions from the younger and older nations to address critical issues related to their growth and effectiveness.

The Mission Commission continues to identify critical needs in mission and develop practical tools to address those issues issues.

Much of our work is done through research and consultations that generate publications and other resources that are distributed throughout our diverse networks for long term effect. Groups of gifted and committed women and men who volunteer their time carry out our projects. International networks are also welcome to link with us and many have (see our taskforces and networks page).
