Faith2Share's Global Leadership Consultation, is now in full swing. 70 mission leaders from many different mission agencies around the world have gathered in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to encourage each other and explore how they can work together to make whole-life disciples of Jesus Christ.

Addressing a retreat for senior mission leaders, Bishop Hwai Teik Ong suggested that gospel ministers can often place fidelity in mission before intimacy with God. Activity is therefore reduced simply to work rather than being an expression of faithfulness to God's calling.

Revd. Bob Wilkes touched on Jesus' words, 'it is good for us to be here,' affirming the value of leaders spend time together and, even more, of being present to God.

Canon Mark Oxbrow called for a clear focus on discipleship across the Faith2Share network - a discipleship which affects all aspects of life and transforms communities.

The Global Leadership Consultation continues until 12 October and is a unique opportunity for mission leaders from Faith2Share's 40 member mission movements, from both Global South and Global North, to build the relationships which are the foundation of effective ministry partnerships.
