The Inspire Movement inspires movements. We are an organisation that catalyzes the emergence, growth and multiplication of missional discipleship in local contexts. Inspire Missioners are catalysts that promote this discipleship movement in their local contexts. They are recognised at the Inspire Annual Summit and gathered into an international community of covenant relationships like an order of mission.
Contact us if you would like to know more about the role of Missioner, to connect with any of our Missioners, or to find out about supporting our fundraising Missioners.
We update this page regularly with news and prayer points, so do keep checking back. And please keep on praying for them all!
