United World Mission: Surprising Vision



United World Mission  released a new mission statement in Oct 2010.  It delights and surprises me!  May God enable us to carry it out in each of the more than 30 countries where we work.

Mission:
Serve with Christian leaders globally to plant, nourish, and reproduce churches that delight God and
surprise the world.

Tag-line:

Core Strategies:
❖Establish ministry training that equips church leaders, church planters, and cross-cultural workers to live in
authentic relationship with God and to form the church for its mission in the world.
❖Collaborate with Christian leaders to identify or establish reproducible models of church, leadership
development, and discipleship for their contexts.
❖Join with Christian leaders to mobilize the church in their nations for church planting and cross-cultural
mission.
❖Facilitate partnerships that advance outreach and church planting initiatives.
❖Integrate mercy and community development with evangelistic initiatives to reproduce churches marked by
compassion.
