Manila Declaration
Manila International Mission Conference (MIMC) 2010 Declaration
August 17-20, 2010
Elijah Global Mission School, Taytay, Rizal

We, the 255 delegates coming from nine(a) of countries that have gathered at the Elijah Mission School for the Manila International Mission Conference (MIMC) 2010 under the theme “Finishing the Unfinished Task in the Asian Context”, are grateful to the guidance of God the Father, provision of the Lord Jesus Christ and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit who graciously led us to make the following declarations:

1. We affirm that Asia is the final frontier as well as the great mission force in global missions.

2. We recognize cities as new mission fields with multiple challenges that ought to be converted as opportunities for transformation through the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

3. We are confronted with the great challenge of reaching the major religious blocks in Asia: the Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims.

4. We agree that the Christians among Diaspora is a divine opportunity that God has given for mobilizing missionaries to the unreached people groups and the restricted-access countries. We must also take advantage the openness of the Diaspora to the gospel.

5. We take note that the children and youth comprise half of Asia’s population; thus, we need to be intentional in reaching and empowering the younger generation, employing creative and innovative approaches.

6. We reiterate that the Great Commission requires the working together of everyone to be able to complete it.

7. We welcome the sweet reminder of the power of the Holy Spirit in doing global missions.

8. We pursue the strategic role of the local churches in equipping and mobilizing every believer in doing the work of ministry and world missions.

9. We see the need to call on God-chosen strategic partners for world mission from our respective countries and regions to the rest of the world.

10. We call for an annual mission conference in Asia for mutual edification, encouragement and address common concerns to advance our cause of reaching the world for the Lord Jesus Christ.

11. We commit to work together with humility and partnership with continuous communication, sharing ideas, experiences, expertise and resources so that we can have a significant role in finishing the unfinished task in global missions.

12. We will devote ourselves to prayer and mobilizing spirit-filled missionary workers and influencers equipped to do God’s work in all spheres of society resulting to world evangelization.

We praise God for the speakers and resource persons who unselfishly shared their time and expertise through their biblical and practical messages and inputs. We express appreciation to the Elijah Global Mission School for taking the initiative and hosting this event; to the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches for mobilizing church leaders in the Philippines to participate; and to the staff and volunteers of A Grain of Wheat Christian Ministries who served with all their heart to make this conference a success.
