Partnership in missions is a great idea, but questions immediately arise. In exploring potential for a partnership initiative to a language group of several million people in the Middle East, the Partnership Facilitator personally visited more than 15 mission leaders. It took over two years and he traveled to three continents. He visited some more than once, and all this took place before the first meetings between partner agencies. The New Testament is now available.
Literature reinforces the message.
Christian workers on the ground follow up with those who respond, to disciple and connect them to the emerging new national church. The result is more converts and more new churches. Yet all the mission agencies remain separate, retaining their distinctive organizational identities.
