"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey all that I have commanded you"

                         Jesus of Nazareth

The Anglican way of following Jesus focuses on the Kingdom of God through a series of missional relationships that often give birth to gospel partnerships. Our commitment to "Go and make disciples of all nations" animates us and motivates us to build relationships with individuals, churches, dioceses and provinces that share a common commitment to see people of all ethnicities come to faith in Jesus Christ.

A protocol has been designed to provide the Diocese of Western Anglicans with a framework for establishing and strengthening these relationships which straddle the borders between nations and which are focused on Jesus' Great Commission.

The International Partners in Mission Team will poll the congregations annually to maintain a greater base of knowledge and information related to the missionaries they are currently supporting. We will also do all we can to understand and report their:

• Focus in international mission
• Passion for international mission
• Resource level for international mission

The international partners in mission will encourage local churches to form local teams to foster and further Kingdom ministry in other cultures and countries.
