How did GNMS come into being?
The future, of course, is built upon the past. Let us rehearse an outline of these events.
The First Call, held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1910, was birth out of a call made 25 years earlier, by the famous �tudent Volunteer Movement for Frontier Missions� This was urged a hundred years earlier by William Carey for the year 1810. However, it took 100 years for Carey's �irst Call�dream to be fulfilled in 1910. For the first time in history, mission leaders and missionaries were called together to consider the best way to finish the global task of missions. No one was invited. The only people attending were delegates chosen by legitimate mission agencies. The conference was called The World Missionary Conference. Great things came out of that conference. A Continuation Committee was formed. Then the International Review of Missions and the International Missions Council (which served effectively for forty years) derived from that committee.
This famous 1910 conference also, and unexpectedly, inspired dreams of both Christian unity and a number of other successive but unconnected conferences, some liberal, eventually resulting in the World Council of Churches. However, none of those later conferences had the distinctive composition of exclusively mission people as had the 1910 meeting. It started well but lost its focus as the later committees consisted of a mixed group that were sectarian in nature. It became a vision of a minority. It was the initiative of the Student Volunteer Movement which, though strong and widespread had always been the vision of a minority within the church.
Thus, when a world church body such as the World Council of Churches took over the International Missionary Council, the cutting edge of missionary vision was dulled and almost completely forgotten in the midst of the many internal concerns of a global church movement.
In 1972 a Southern Baptist professor of mission proposed a repetition of the 1910 conference. In 1974, group of missiologists under the banner of the newly formed American Society of Missiology, meeting at Wheaton College, hammered the wording of a Call for a second 1910 type conference to meet on the world level in 1980. �t is suggested that a World Missionary Conference be convened in 1980 to confront contemporary issues in Christian world missions. The conference should be constituted by persons committed to cross-cultural missions, broadly representative of the missionary agencies of the various Christian traditions on a world basis.�When The Second Call meeting took place in Edinburgh in November 1980, it was called The World Consultation on Frontier Missions. More agencies were represented that in 1910, and notably one third of all agencies were from the Third World (none in 1910). In 1980 the slogan adopted was � Church for Every People by the Year 2000.�But this too failed as there was no ongoing structure survived.
Why is GNMS necessary?
Prompted by the initial discussions at the Singapore 2002 Unreached Peoples Consultation, a group of 28 delegates from older and newer agencies gathered in Amsterdam in April 2005, - The Third Call - to found the Global network of Mission Structures (GNMS). Since the Edinburgh meetings of 1910 and 1980, no non-invitational gatherings of mission leaders had been held which were open to all the agencies of the world sending equal delegates, nor had any other gatherings called for the establishment of a global-level network of strictly mission structures. GNMS is the only global mission structure that allows structures from the global north and south together on equal footing as official delegates from agencies. This delegated system is what makes GNMS unique from other global structures. A global network can significantly advance God's Kingdom. Since unreached peoples are on the move, we face a clear need to establish a global office to monitor their movement and plan for more coordinated efforts of outreach. A closer networking of agencies, missiologists, and others including sister organizations on a global level is needed. We want to maintain the cutting-edge vision of mission structures. How do we achieve such a task and nurture the Global Network? Today we have more tools than ever, including internet, to nurture connections, information sharing, and other forms of learning among agencies. Hence, the idea was for all �rontier-active�mission structures wherever located to become equal members with each other. Small, newer structures can belong and be full members.
Mission Statement:
The Mission statement of GNMS is: Coming together to advance the Kingdom across the frontiers. The name speaks for itself: the emphasis is on unity in advancing the Kingdom towards the frontiers of the Gospel. �rontiers�includes more than unreached peoples groups anything that advances God's purposes.
What is the future of GNMS?
What the GNMS will be three years from now depends upon the basis of which we start. To give GNMS a legal standing, GNMS is registered in California and has its office located in Malaysia. An Executive Board was also set-up with representation from across the globe. The Executive Board is to provide the anchor for the vision and overall operation. The terms and duties of the Executive Board will be outlined in the bye-laws and articles of incorporation. Membership fee will be free will contributions from participating agencies rather than imposing fees. GNMS membership is open to all structures that classify as �rontier-active agencies�and have fulfilled minimal administrative standards. A web site has been established: www.gnms.net and will be upgraded in the coming months. Inquirers may direct their communications to The Administrator, David Packiam at email: dpackiam@gmail.com **
