Let’s look at our strategy

We exist to serve and support the indigenous church.

Our aim is to build strategic partnerships to see their God-given visions fulfilled.

s Our Goal

We desire to see healthy indigenous churches and projects which are self-

governing

Through a balance of limited support, investment and

mentoring

…over time the churches and projects to become strong and self-sustaining.

Finally, we encourage churches and the projects to look beyond their own situations
