Many of our partners have been exhibitors and/or speakers at our New Wineskins Global Mission Conferences, participate in our mission networks, or simply have resources that we encourage our missional community to use to expand the Kingdom of God.

Does being a partner mean I will be funded by New Wineskins?
We see partnerships as having many purposes and functions - collaborating on projects, sharing resources, and highlighting best practices, to name a few. However, the primary mode of our partnerships is relationships.
While we pray for the provision for our partners and may at times highlight their work in various ways or give a financial gift, at our discretion, we do not provide financial support as a requisite of our partnerships. Conversely, our partners may, at times, financially support the work of New Wineskins. To be clear, these partnerships are not tied to any financial obligations.

What is AGMP?
On the 10th anniversary of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) and the beginning of Archbishop Foley Beach’s second term of office, the ACNA identified 5 “marquee initiatives” of the Province with which they encourage their members to actively engage - the Global Mission Initiative is one of them. Jenny Noyes is the leader of the Global Mission Initiative. Its primary aims are increasing missional prayer, coordinating global partnership, and maximizing the effectiveness of our cross-cultural efforts by members of the ACNA. The initiative leaders meet weekly to communicate and coordinate how these five areas of ministry can help North American Anglicans become more like Jesus in our thoughts, words and deeds.
