OUR PURPOSE

The WEA Missions Commission exists to glorify God by enhancing the cross-cultural ministry effectiveness of the global Church. Our goal is to strengthen regional and national missions alliances and their constituencies. We do this by facilitating mutual learning, networking and cooperation between national and international missions leaders, through strategic consultations, task forces, training seminars and publications.

Determining our Agenda

As we serve the international mission movement, we listen to the grass roots of our colleagues around the world, and then provide eagle-eye strategic vision to our outreach.. Listening to the grass roots lets us determine the nature of mission needs. If they are local or national, we allow those leaders to handle those needs, but if these issues are international, then the concerns become potential agenda for the Missions Commission. That enables us to provide the eagle-eye perspective to the global mission movement.
