Partnerships –
some Principles and
Experience
1. Missions are specialists and Churches are generalists.
2. Therefore, Partnerships between churches and missions should be
focussed on specific tasks and relationships that relate to the strengths and
assets of the international mission partner.
6. A clear written understanding, protocol, or contract should be
prepared, agreed to, and signed by both parties. It helps our memory and the memory of others who follow.
7. The management of funds and workers should be worked out and agreed
upon.
8. Good communication should take place regularly between the
responsible leaders.
9. Misunderstandings should be resolved within a context of mutual
commitment and spiritual maturity.
