We are a community that longs to be be transformed alongside others as we serve together.
We pursue new ways of thinking and engaging with others alongside others.
We seek fresh Biblical insight for deeper understanding and new ways to engage at the frontiers of mission.
You are compelled by love to make a difference. You can’t keep quiet and have to do something about the thousands of people groups in the world who yet to encounter the good news of Jesus.
You see the world differently and ask hard questions. You see what could be, what ought to be, and ask why not? You are hungry to enlist your skills, your passion and your vision in a cause that impacts eternity. Creativity and curiosity is your tool to change lives.
You are a doer. You are the one who has left the familiar and gone out to the last and the least. You are motivated to find better ways to do so—because it’s about what’s effective in the real world—what produces lasting fruit.
You impact the world through the power of ideas and insights. You want to unearth root issues hindering the completion of the Great Commission and shed light on them so that others can get past surface issues—to what really matters.
You equip others for the task. You know that the best knowledge is that which is put to good use. You desire to employ your teaching gifts to shape and train others to be more effective on the field and in other key ministry roles.
You are curious—and passionate about opening eyes to see what Jesus sees. To you, it’s not research for research's sake; it’s an ambition to answer questions that may hold the keys to breakthroughs among unreached people groups.
New ways of seeing missiological paradigms are woven into our life in Jesus. Likewise, new ways of contextualizing good news are lived out, not as an organizational strategy, but as our own transformation into the likeness of Christ as he lives in us.
