Interagency Global Partnership Strategy

Churches everywhere are seeking a more meaningful missions program. One that takes into account their unique gifts and interests; and goes deeper than just sending a check and receiving newsletters a few times a year.

If this sounds like you, consider a global partnership.

World Missions, CRWRC, Back To God Ministries, and Partners Worldwide are together developing a strategy to enable high quality long term partnerships to take place between CRCNA congregations and groups on the one hand, and the churches, groups, and partners with whom we are doing ministry around the world on the other hand.

What’s really important: “All one body we.” Spirituality, humility and learning, healthy relationships.

The goal of forming relationships with a church or community overseas is to deepen our connection as Christians, to better educate each other about what life is like in a different country/culture and to become involved in each other’s efforts to make our communities closer to the vision that God has for us.

We believe that everyone has been given gifts and resources by God. These resources (material, spiritual, emotional, relational, financial, and others) should be used for the greater good of God’s kingdom. We see close relationships between distant churches as a way to share the resources and knowledge that we have with each other.
