Dr. Atul Aghamkar PhD from the Partnership Institute in India presented this paper at the 2016 Interdev conference in Bangalore, India. In it, he challenges both the global and Indian church to engage in ministry partnerships with renewed seriousness. After establishing a strong foundation for partnership in scripture, he explores the Apostle Paul’s model of church and family-based ministry partnership.
