What do you recommend as the most efficient way to find the others working in the same area or with the same people groups even before there is interest in a partnership?
Hi Karen,
1. Conferences or consultations where believers from that country might attend
2. Reach out to global mission orgs (Wycliffe, SIM etc.)
3. Look for partnership and networks at Linking Global Voices (http://www.linkingglobalvoices.com/contact-us)
4. I’m assuming you’ve already done an internet search
Hope this helps,
Dan

2. I see from your profile that you are based in, or interested in, Nepal. You may want to watch the video story from Tim Taylor about his work with the Limbu Partnership in Nepal. In that story, he shares about going from zero to engaged:
