Join us for the Missio Nexus’ Indigenous Ministry Partnership Roundtable: Collaboration in Frontier and Restricted Contexts, a networking opportunity for agencies and churches that empower national and regional ministries through international collaboration.
This is an ideal venue for all those engaged in indigenous ministry partnerships to learn from one another, tackle challenges together, advocate best practices and foster collaboration.
Participant Profile
This in-person event is for ministry leaders of any agency or church who are involved with or want to learn more about effective strategies in serving indigenous ministries through the partnership model.
Who You’ll Meet
You will meet with seasoned leaders who have combined decades of experience in capacity building with indigenous ministry partners.
What You’ll Learn
We will look at indigenous ministry models and explore partnership principles gleaned from working with believers in a variety of ministry areas such as evangelism, persecution assistance, church-planting, media, leadership, etc. The format of the meeting is interactive, intending to glean from the collective experience of everyone present. We will have a special emphasis in this gathering on the challenges related to working with believers in restricted and hostile contexts who are reaching frontier regions with the gospel.
Why You Want to Participate
Enhance your effectiveness in partnering well for long term impact. Gain a deeper understanding of your role as resource partner, develop strategic solutions, and build a supportive network.
How It Will Help You
Reflect and evaluate your impact in ministry partnership, learn from others and share what you have observed from your own experience. Leave with a greater understanding of how God is working through indigenous ministries in some of the most difficult mission fields and how to navigate common issues in these contexts.
