Engaging in global ministry starts with relationship. We build relationships in two important ways: by connecting with indigenous leaders around the world who seek to build churches in their local region; and by connecting U.S.-based Vineyard churches that desire to collaborate and play a role in overseas church-planting efforts with each other and in partnership with native leaders in their country.
As connections occur and relationships are formed, we provide the ongoing training and necessary tools and resources that are critical to success. Specifically, we help equip U.S. churches in their efforts to raise up indigenous leaders and create a sustainable church presence; strengthen and encourage the national leadership in countries where relationships exist; and offer churches valuable guidance based on experience in the field as they prepare and send missionaries abroad.

Last month I gathered together with Vineyard world-changers from around Africa, Europe and North America for my 8th annual African Vineyard Leaders’ Network (AVLN) meeting. It was as amazing as ever...My mind is blown at the grace I've been given. It’s a gift to steward, to come alongside such faithful people in such beautiful and challenging environments.

Jeff Cannell, Pastor of Central Vineyard in Ohio, tells of his most recent trip to Cambodia. He says, “We sent people out in groups of three on prayer walks. My group literally prayed at each fork on our paths whether to go left or right...we ended up in a marsh containing a shelter…”
