"Sister" and "Partnership" Mission Relationship One of the most
important objectives of the City Mission World Association is to
foster closer and more meaningful relationships between city and
urban missions in different parts of the world through "Sister
Mission" and "Partnership Mission" relationships.
SISTER MISSION RELATIONSHIP
Under this program, well-established and successful missions
provide a helping hand in various ways to new or developing
missions. Whilst in some circumstances, financial aid may be
available, the emphasis is on:
prayer support
provision of information and knowledge
assisting in training of staff
helping with program design
giving advice on fundraising, and
in some, cases preparing documentation for funding assistance to
Government, trusts and foundations and other funding sources
staff exchanges
network material aid, where possible
other appropriate assistance.
The assisting mission, where possible and feasible
will
act as an advocate and sponsor for beneficiary/recipient
mission
will
arrange visitation to beneficiary/recipient mission to
provide advice etc.
PARTNERSHIP MISSION RELATIONSHIP
prayer support for each other
exchange information on all aspects of mission work
where possible, arrange staff exchanges and training
and any other appropriate actions.
There has been a great deal of activity in the Sister/Partner
Mission program over the years. It really covers a large
part of the globe and involves many of our missions
throughout the world. There have been staff exchanges,
leadership exchanges, shipments of resources and limited
donations of revenue. Members of the CMWA Board have visited
dozens of the missions and have assisted many of our
missions through networking them with others City Missions
around the world.
Though there is more work to do in the development of this
program, there has been a major contribution to building
relationships and strengthening the outreach of City
Missions and its primary purpose of enhancing the
proclamation of the Gospel and meeting human need in urban
areas of the world.
