Does Working Together Really Make a Difference? When we ask "Why partnership?" a number of answers come to mind. - The relational benefits alone are enormous.
- Efficiency and effectiveness is often increased.
- It makes sense in the current world climate.
- Most notably, though, partnership is strongly supported in scripture, and
it really works. The Biblical Basis for Partnership Scripture is clear in its call for believers to work together in unity. Christians usually agree in theory, but have had a difficult time in practice. Organizational pride, personal egos, finances and independent agendas often keep Christians from working with others outside their own church or organization. In addition, concepts of unity without a scriptural basis in Christ have made some believers suspicious. In fact, the Scriptures have much to say about the calling to a life of partnership. Success Stories and Partner Testimonies God is moving as never before among the peoples of the world. Hundreds of mission agencies and churches are hard at work, spreading the Gospel and planting the church. Celebrate with us as you hear the stories of effective partnership ministry among the unreached. |
