beyond partnership - short term missions

About Us | Our Name


As our name suggests, we represent more than merely saying we partner with national leaders in poor third world countries. Many have said that they partner with third world ministries, yet impose their own programs and ideas upon national leaders, who accept beyond partnershipthem often because they feel they are obliged to do so.  Our commitment is to the principle of “undership” to be under the authority of the national leadership in all aspects of ministry and construction.  We act, do, and say what they want us to.  We are there only to build relationships and bring our resources to help address their obstacles in ministry as identified by them.

Many times wealthy countries believe they have all the answers to the problems of the world, let alone third world impoverished countries.  But the wisdom of the rulers of this age will come to nothing (I Cor. 2:6).  But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise:  God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.  He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are.
