Through this paper, members of the EMCC community of Pastors, Church and Mission Leaders, Global Partners and Workers, friends and members of our global Church family are invited to ground ourselves upon this foundation of God’s Mission, upon which the Church may remain strong, and devoted as a healthy, multiplying and disciple-making community. We are Jesus’ followers, who participate in His mission. Let us encourage one another through shared dialogue and learning, and inspire others to radically follow Jesus in our everyday lives, everywhere in the world

Building on our long history and our strengths, World Partners engages the EMCC in mission participation (learning and engagement, God’s call to participate, disciple-making focus), provides support for people who are sensing God’s nudging to serve internationally (on-ramp), and strengthens our support for Global work of various kinds, together with our churches (strategic presence, integral development and compassionate action).
