Vulnerable Mission

The Alliance for Vulnerable Mission helps Western Christians to grow in understanding of indigenous perspectives. We strongly believe that this is essential for contributions to intercultural ministry that honour rather than dominate local contexts.

“Vulnerable missionaries often aren’t successful by donor-driven mission standards. Yet it is precisely this ‘failure’ which leads to a deeper, lasting transformation, as it plumbs difference and interacts with people following their own indigenous agendas.”
