- The primary aim of the Institute is to publish and distribute researched missiology, in partnership with missional leaders within the global two-thirds world.
In particular, to publish educational theological and missiological texts and resources that are practical, relevant and accessible to missional leaders in those parts of the world where the church is growing rapidly but where leadership training and educational resources are sparse and sporadic in availability.
The intention is, wherever possible, to make these resources available freely and to empower missional leaders and movements to publish and distribute these resources themselves.
Projects are accessible via the above links.

A secondary aim of the Institute is to publish and distribute researched missiology that is practical, relevant and accessible within post-Christian western cultures.
Missiology as a theological discipline is paradigmatic: that is, it offers fresh insights and ways of reading and understanding Scripture, of understanding cultural contexts and of understanding the role of the Christian community within those contexts.
Within the West, post-modernity—including post-industrial, post-colonial and post-Christian influences—has brought rapid cultural change. In the midst of this, the Christian community is, of necessity, in a process of reassessing its voice and its message.
The Institute aims to contribute contructively to this conversation by providing researched analysis and educational insight from a missiological viewpoint.
