Mission by Partnership

Working in partnership with local indigenous organisations has a lot going for it.  Locals know the language and the culture without needing years of training!  And they are more likely to be around long-term and cost less to support.  Most importantly, taking expatriates out of the front-line empowers locals to step into that space, empowering them and achieving better missional outcomes at the same time.  This is the illusive "localisation" that many NGO's seek.  I got to say some of those things when I was interviewed by Wesley Mission about Global Mission Partners.  Watch the interview here.
