  • balance in generation and gender.

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.

Such 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.
