Partnership = Coparticipación

More than a decade ago, representatives exploring what would become the Patagonia Mission Partnership hit a snag—which Spanish translation for “partnership” should they use? The group settled on coparticipación— in English, literally, “co-participation.” The phrase felt relational and incarnational, not business-like.

Part of that partnership shares a name with the title of this issue of Beyond Ourselves. Efforts from the Illinois Arm in Arm group and entities in Argentina’s Patagonia region have sent mission workers both north and south. It is one of dozens of collaborations that enable global mission to thrive.

Some partnerships focus on prayer and relationships of mutual learning. Others unite to accomplish specifi c mission objectives, raise support or decide and carry out ministry directions. A “global” mission partnership means all partners—individuals, congregations, conferences or agencies—participate in all aspects of the vision and ministry.
