ETS is one of the founding members of the International Fellowship of Mission in Transformation (INFEMIT). It is a network “Called and equipped by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we are a Gospel-centred fellowship of mission theologian-practitioners that serves local churches and other Christian communities so we together embody the Kingdom of God through transformational engagement, both locally and globally.”

As the church engages in mission, both locally and globally, INFEMIT…

• Fosters inter-contextual theological reflection and action, in which the local and the global mutually inform each other
• Reflects on and reformulate concepts such as ‘mission, ‘missionary, ‘mission field, ‘holistic mission’
• Calls the church in the majority world to live out its responsibility as a mature member of the body of Christ
• Questions bi-polar categories such as Western/non-Western, First/Third world, North/South, developed /underdeveloped, etc, considering immigration and other forces related to globalization, and of the shift in global Christianity
• Imagines, nourishes and embodies authentic and relevant Christian communities
• Challenges social constructs such as nation-state, race, etc, considering God’s justice and our primary identity as citizens of God’ Kingdom

The goal of the Lausanne-Orthodox Initiative is to reflect constructively on the history of relationships between Orthodox and Evangelicals to work towards better understanding, and encourage reconciliation and healing where wounds exist. Through this process, Evangelicals and Orthodox will be mutually enriched and strengthened in the work of mission, working towards mutual respect, support and cooperation in the spirit of our Lord’s prayer for His Church in John 17.
