Power in Partnerships - Short Term Mission Forum

Event Details

Balancing Power dynamics is an area that many of us who have worked in 
short-term mission have had to wrestle with over the years to avoid 
creating unhealthy cultural power imbalances. So how do we practically 
partner in godly ways with those who host workers on short-term 
missions?

Over 2 hours, this online event will explore power dynamics and meaningful consent from both missiological and practical perspectives. We will hear from Chris Ducker, Principal of ForMission College, who will share insights on partnership from a missiological standpoint. 

We will then listen to Lesley Bentley who has recently undertaken research in Africa and the UK into short term mission for her PhD and Busisiwe Sityata-Jones, who grew up in a village in South Africa and was until recently a Regional Coordinator with Hands at Work in Africa , an NGO for whom team visits from partner churches have always been part of their way of working.

There will also be time built in for discussion and prayer.

Once you've booked your place, you'll receive an order confirmation with 
the joining details.
