RELIEF & DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS

For the past few years, several of us have gathered to begin to explore the potential for Pentecostal relief and development ministries to raise awareness of how we serve the holistic gospel and could work together to deepen our impact around the world. Many of us represent national church fellowships and their mission initiatives, we share a common conviction that the gospel as expressed through the local church is the catalyst for individual community and societal transformation through the work of the Holy Spirit. With that shared vision, we are working to step across organizational lines towards intentional, effective collaboration!

The World Mission Commission of the PWF commissioned a task force of global leaders the exploration and development of a strategic plan to effectively coordinate efforts and develop strategic partnerships across the Pentecostal Missions, Development and Relief landscape.


During their first global summit in January of 2020, the task force was reaffirmed to continue to lead the efforts to create synergy, collaboration, and peer enrichment among the Pentecostal Development and Relief Partners in the PWF World Missions Commission.

Oklahoma City 2020

In January 2020, we gathered at our first Global Development and Relief Partners’ Summit to pray, envision, and set motion our desire for collaboration and cooperation as Pentecostal leaders and organizations working in this area. From the beginning, we prioritized the process of exploration as we set goals and cast a vision for what was to come. We all recognized it was essential to have proper representation, as well as a structure where each voice was clearly heard and valued.
