Sharing Resources

In this video, Ernie Addicott tells a story from Central Asia about one of the most practical benefits of partnership: the sharing of resources. One of the best practices of partnerships is that of volunteering our resources. Even in functioning partnerships, there is often untapped potential because partners lack an in depth awareness of each other’s strengths and capacities.

In this video, Jose de Dios shares the story of how one of the most well-known mission agencies in the world chose to take a partnership approach to its work – investing the time to build relationships with many smaller agencies and indigenous organizations – rather than just doing its own thing.

The Critical Role of Partnership Facilitators

In this video story, Prem James talks about the importance of the facilitator’s role in a partnership as he shares the story of a ministry breakthrough among the high-caste Lingayat Hindus. In reflecting on his many years of experience working with ministry partnerships in India, Prem says: “Often people understand the word sponsorship more than the word partnership. It takes time for them to see the benefits of what partnership can do.”
