TEAM with the church.
We promote evangelism partnerships throughout the church world that multiply effective ministry.
One
of the values we honor at BGC is partnership. An axiom we use
is "We will do nothing alone that we can do together."
The 1990s have seen a proliferation of partnerships throughout
the evangelical church. These partnerships are in more than
name only. The Kingdom-Church is growing. We are fortunate to
not be big enough to do much on our own. The BGC needs other
organizations to accomplish its God-given purpose. And other
organizations need us. This spirit of collaboration rather than
competition is pleasing in the sight of God.
Therefore,
we commit to initiating networks or participating in existing
partnerships wherever possible. We are especially committed
to partnerships that focus on the evangelistic enterprise. We
presently work with a number of agencies in the task of China
evangelization. Partnerships with the Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association and with Wheaton College are inherent in our history
and by-laws. New networks with organizations like the Willow
Creek Association, Luis Palau Evangelistic Association, Youth
With A Mission, the Arrow Leadership Program, the Southern Baptist
Convention, and Mission America are on the drawing board. We
also hope to seek partnerships focusing on carefully selected,
unevangelized populations. |
