This Participatory Action Research explored intentional change in the model for a partnership between a congregation of the ELCA and members of a companion synod in South Africa. How could a congregation move from benevolent benefactor toward missional accompaniment? Surveys and an interview measured the impact of three interventions, Bible study, testimony, and prayer. Theological and Biblical perspectives included missional ecclesiology, accompaniment, spiritual practices, and liberation theology. Theoretical perspectives included post-colonial theory, change theory, and cross-cultural communication. Research showed an increased awareness of congregational participation in God's mission and an interest in pursuing accompaniment relationships locally as well as globally.
