- The arenas of relationship for western denominational mission societies can be described as (1) mission-to-world (pioneer initiatives in cross-cultural church planting), (2) mission-with-church (relationships with churches which are planted), and (3) mission-with-mission (relationships with the new mission societies which emerge from these groups). However, rarely do they achieve a balanced blend of all three relationships in mission. The thesis of this paper is that a western evangelical mission society could remain centrally committed to pioneer missions (mission-to-world), while also nurturing healthy mission-with-church and mission-with-mission relationships. The author hypothesizes that in order to achieve this, the mission society must have a clear identity as a nurturer of pioneer 'apostolic bands' (mission teams), a flexible ecclesiological framework centered in foundational New Testament teaching, and an experience of missional interdependence with the new churches and their mission-sending groups based on the 'apostolic bond' (the relationship between the gospel messenger and those who receive Christ through that person or group). The author concludes that, though it is possible, it is difficult.
