Partnerships

NextMove is a collaborative network of missions leaders and the organizations that they represent.

The missions leaders in our network are often what we call the “diaspora champion” in their respective organizations. They are usually tasked with understanding the global realities of migration and leading the diaspora mission efforts of their organization. Most of these “diaspora champions” have practical ministry experience but they are not primarily diaspora field workers. Similarly, many have missiology training but they are not primarily academics. Rather, they tend to operate in a position of organizational leadership where they are responsible for overseeing or catalysing diaspora field ministry as well as providing their diaspora-related expertise and influence to the executive leadership of their organization.
