About Us
Vision
We long for homegrown, self-sustaining, and reproducing faith communities who carry out their co-mission with God in their communities and beyond.
Mission
We exist to inspire and equip the mission community to carry out their work through the lens of dignity, sustainability, and multiplication.

We believe that what cross-cultural Christian workers do on DAY 1 (the foundational level) will either accelerate or inhibit homegrown, self-sustaining, and reproducing faith communities on DAY 100 (in the long-term).

Social Justice 3 – Is Integral Mission as Integral as We Want? Is Social Justice as Just as We Think?
By Jean Johnson, Director of Five Stones Global The Lausanne Movement describes integral mission as a style of mission that recognizes “no biblical dichotomy between evangelistic and social responsibility.” Putting this concept into the form of an action statement, we might say that integral mission is “integrating the proclamation of the gospel and social action.” […]
Social Justice 2 – How Does Spiritual Justice Play Out?
By Jean Johnson In my last post, we visited God’s heart for social justice by listening in on a conversation between a child and a parent. Additionally, we visited Isaiah 1:17, which is a clear invitation to correct oppression, bring justice to the fatherless, and plead the cause of widows. In certain periods of the […]
