Churches in Transformational Partnership

Introduction

“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.”

It is very important to understand that, because of the nature of who we are (the body of Christ), the motivation and inspiration for our work and service in Transformational Partnership go far beyond the concepts of secular development or pragmatic reasons.

This is founded on Biblical principles, through trusted relationships and with sincerity and respect, and mutual benefit (Philemon 1:6, Philippians 4:15.  Its purpose is to collaborate with the purpose of preaching the gospel, making disciples, and bringing visible transformation.
