Come, walk with us...
iMission exists to assist national partnerships in developing nations to increase their financial capacity through equity growth in properties and revenue-generating assets. The goal of this equity-based capacity is to inspire and enable national churches to become active senders and enablers of mission workers at home and abroad.
As believers and churches mature across the globe, and mission workers are being drawn from every tribe, language, people group and nation, traditional mission paradigms are under scrutiny. While churches in developing nations are emerging as contributors to the global mission movement, many continue to experience dependencies, which can be attributed to traditional structures, colonial mindsets, and economic realities.
This mentality often leads to an over-reliance on external aid instead of developing their own resources or capabilities. However, the cure to countering a dependence mentality isn't necessarily independence. Extreme independence has upsides such as affluence and financial freedom, but it often comes with downsides such as diminishing personal connections.
The biblical foundation for iMission is a simple understanding that Scripture applies to all believers, each with their own gifts, according to the grace given to us. The iMission vision is to create a formal process and provide a platform where partners bring their resources, projects or needs to the table. Without limiting the scope of opportunity, the initial focus is limited to the following areas of interdependence:
Mission Loans
Business as Mission
Mission Investments
Gospel Partners of iMission are locally incorporated Mission Service Organisations which support and encourage local mission workers. Gospel Partners pursue partnerships between iMission, local church support and the individual worker. The shared responsibility keeps all parties engaged and accountable, while also ensuring ongoing, sustainable and locally effective full-time mission work.
