(STAVANGER, NORWAY – July 6, 2023) In pursuit of its mission to “Network the Baptist Family to Impact the World for Christ,” the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) launched the Global Baptist Mission Network (GBMN) this week at its annual meeting in Stavanger, Norway.
Designed as a partnership embracing interdependence, collaboration, and cooperation, this new network will connect mission-focused organizations, mission departments, and individuals working with a focus on advancement of world mission. With representation from all six BWA regions, 23 mission organizations from 17 countries have joined as inaugural members. At the time of launch, the network’s membership comprises more than 7,000 missionaries.
관계 구축, 토론, 네트워킹을 위한 공간을 제공하는 GBMN은 회원들이 보다 효과적으로 사역할 수 있도록 돕는 것을 목표로 합니다. 이 네트워크는 침례교 선교 지도자와 운동 간의 관계를 촉진하고, 선교 분야에서 사고 리더십을 제공하며, 새로운 선교지를 발굴하고 도달하며, 기관과 선교사 간의 협력을 촉진하고, 자원 낭비를 줄일 것입니다.
21세기에는 미션 요구 사항이 변화함에 따라st 세기에 접어들면서 협력의 중요성이 커졌습니다.
“The missional frontiers have been reorganized with the shifting of the center of gravity for mission from the Global North to the Global South. This paradigmatic shift calls for interdependence not independence, collaboration not isolation, and networking not parochialism,” said Everton Jackson, GBMN Facilitator and BWA Director of Integral Mission. “Consequently, the GBMN will create a space for conversation around missional priorities that will require collaboration in response to 21st century missional trends.”
매년 GBMN은 BWA 연례 모임 기간에 모이며, 그 사이에 소그룹 회의를 통해 네트워크가 선정한 협업 프로젝트를 진행합니다.
지역별 창립 멤버는 다음과 같습니다: 올 아프리카 침례교 펠로우십 – Nigerian Baptist Convention (Nigeria), Ethiopian Addis Kidan Baptist Church (Ethiopia); 아시아 태평양 침례교 연맹 – Baptist Mission Australia (Australia), Baptist Church of Mizoram (India), Korean Foreign Baptist Mission (Korea), Nagaland Missions Movement (India), Union of Indonesian Baptist Churches (Indonesia); 카리브해 침례교 펠로우십 – Jamaica Baptist Union (Jamaica); 유럽 침례교 연맹: 덴마크 침례교 연합(덴마크), BMS 월드미션(영국), 리빙워드 소사이어티, 레바논 침례교 복음주의 교회 연합(레바논), 러시아 복음주의 기독교 침례교 연합(러시아), 우크라이나 침례교 연합(우크라이나); 북미 침례교 친목회 – Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (USA), NBCA (INC) – International Foreign Mission (USA), American Baptist International Ministries (USA), Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention (USA), Canadian Baptist Ministries (Canada); 라틴 아메리카 침례교 연합 – Brazilian Baptist World Mission, JMM (Brazil), Confederación Evangélica Bautista – Evangelical Baptist Confederation (Argentina), Directorate of Missions and Evangelization – National Baptist Convention of Venezuela (Venezuela), The Administrative Mission Board, National Baptist Convention of Brazil (Brazil), Junta de missoes nacionais – Board of National Missions (Brazil).
“We’re at our best together as we celebrate diversity, as we cherish our unity, and as we partner together to do things we could never do on our own,” said Scott Pilgrim, Baptist Mission Australia.
With more than 7,000 people groups still unreached, the scope of the Great Commission call to “go and make disciples of all nations” remains great.
“In the last 10 years, the worldwide Baptist movement has grown 29%,” said Elijah Brown, BWA General Secretary and CEO. “But at the same time, there are still three billion people who are unreached with the good news of Jesus Christ. Whether it’s in hurting megacities in Asia or in rural parts of Africa or in places in Europe and North America where the church has been in decline, this is a time to step away from our traditional paradigms and to engage in new collaboration.”
