An invitation to a new model of missions PARTNERSHIP

The traditional model of church and agency working together might be more accurately described as sponsorship rather than partnership.  The church supports, through sending people, prayer and finance but the agency determines and delivers the ministry.

This clearly works, although there are questions around the risks of dis-enfranchising the local church from the missions task, but for those churches who want to enter more intentionally and significantly into cross-cultural missions it leaves a gap that is not easy to satisfy.

A new partnership model

A small group of like-minded churches in partnership with each other and with AIM commit to work together. Aiming for a closer and more intentional relationship than is typically experienced. Our goal is to reach an unreached Muslim people group in North Africa. The partnership owns the task, not just AIM. We agree together how ministry should start and develop. This happens in collaboration with workers and organisations already in place. Together, we work to raise up, send and support new workers, develop ministry and see churches planted.

Benefits to your local church

  • The fellowship and accountability of being in active partnership with a small number of like-minded churches.
  • A focus on unreached peoples is maintained and practically expressed.
  • The initiative helps partner churches to be proactive in fulfilling the greater extent of the Great Commission.
  • There is long term commitment around which the church can develop aspects of its ministries and activities.

An invitation…

We invite you to get in touch and explore if this partnership approach will help your church enter into a greater share of all God is doing as he builds his church among Africa’s unreached.
