As missions resources multiply around the globe, increasingly complex collaborations seek to maximize what each entity brings to the task. Indigenous leadership is proving key to the long-term success of these multifaceted partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Three Waves Movement<\/a> is one such collaborative effort seeking to combine three very different missional forces, or waves, in South America. These waves came sequentially, but each continues to impact missions endeavors across the continent today: the first\u2014a foreign (largely North American) wave of missionaries and churches, the second\u2014a wave of engagement by Latino\/national churches and networks of churches, and third\u2014a growing wave of visionary indigenous churches and networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Determined to collaborate better, churches, individuals, and networks from each of these three waves have come together under the Three Waves Movement banner to develop strategic alliances in six South American countries. Their shared vision is to reach and disciple the 400+ tribal nations of the Amazon and South American lowlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The full story<\/a> includes interviews with facilitators from each wave and advice for those seeking to build partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more stories about gospel collaboration, read Ethiopian believers prepare for freedom ministry conference<\/a> (Mission Network News) and We\u2019re all part of the gospel chain.
