Partners Worldwide

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken” -King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 4:12

Harambee! …is a powerful African Swahili word that literally means “pulling together.”

It captures the power, energy and creativity that people generate when they work in harmony around a common goal.

Partners Worldwide is a growing movement of visionary business and professional people who share a common goal of providing meaningful work for every person in the world. Imagine if every single person had the opportunity to employ their unique skills and gifts in service to others. That is what “bringing the Kingdom of God” and Partners Worldwide is all about.

Affiliates of Partners Worldwide “harambee” around the world in dynamic partnerships that connect small, medium and large businesses, for the purpose of job creation, business growth and social transformation. Business people of like-minds and linked hearts are connected to grow in faith, ministry and stewardship. Partners Worldwide has a growing international network of these affiliates throughout North America, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.

Affiliates are typically organized by geographic proximity or shared skills. One business affiliate is then linked in partnership with another affiliate, so that they can work together on creative solutions to support each other, transform lives, and sustain communities.

Farmer to Farmer partnerships, for example, focus on land acquisition for landless farmers, on increasing production and yields, and on better marketing for increased return on investment.

Business to Business partnerships, as another example, focus on job creation, business growth, and increased incomes, through business mentoring and access to capital.

Regardless of the affiliate you link up with, you can be assured of one thing. You will be connected with business people who share your passion for growing in business and ministry.

Christian business and professional people grow in partnerships by:

Affirming business as a calling
Encouragement to work with God in running your business
Mentoring and training
Counsel and prayer
Consultation and exchange visits
Advocacy

When business people are successful in their local economy the community benefits and grows. When business people engage in community through service and involvement, the quality of community life improves. When the church, non-profits, government and business do this together, the community is transformed!
