Newer Missionary Partnership Model<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Focus on deficits<\/strong> (i.e. \u201clacks\u201d: saving souls from evil, building churches and homes, food pantries, clothing banks, etc.)<\/td>\nFocus on assets<\/strong> (i.e. identifying local materials, techniques, knowledge, problem solving skills, people, etc. as \u201cresources\u201d)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Problem<\/strong> response (rapid relief, emergency aid, crisis oriented)<\/td>\nOpportunity<\/strong> identification (systemic or policy changes, structural)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Donation<\/strong> orientation (short-term, momentary)<\/td>\nInvestment<\/strong> orientation (long-term, strategic; not like a financial investment for any direct gain but to risk something of our\u2019s and ourselves to witness global growth and empowerment of others)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Grants, gifts<\/strong>, hand-outs<\/strong><\/td>\nGrants, gifts, loans<\/strong>, investment, contracts<\/strong> (programs of mutual accountability and trust; i.e. micro-loans, each-one-teach-one)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
More services<\/strong> (measurable quantitative<\/strong> results over qualitative)<\/td>\nLess services\/More coalition<\/strong>, networking (more qualitative<\/strong>)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Focus on individual<\/strong><\/td>\nFocus on community<\/strong> or neighborhood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Maintenance<\/strong>, e.g. status quo<\/td>\nDevelopment<\/strong>: empowering<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
See people as \u201cclients<\/strong>\u201d (with the U.S. as the \u201cpatrons\u201d)<\/td>\nSee people as \u201ccitizens (of the world)\u201d & \u201c(human) family<\/strong>\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Aim to \u201cfix<\/strong>\u201d people (as victims rather than survivors)<\/td>\nAim to jointly develop<\/strong> or realize already existing potential<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Programs<\/strong> are the answer (people are ideally objectified as passive \u201coppressed\u201d or as commodities of labor or are romantically dehumanized as the spiritually \u201cpure\u201d and \u201cnoble\u201d exotic Other)<\/td>\nPeople<\/strong> are the answer (both through their historical processes of appropriation and resistance and as moving from being others\u2019 objects to their own subjects, as agents of transformation)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Building objects<\/strong> (churches, schools, homes, etc.)<\/td>\nBuilding relationships<\/strong>, partnerships (from which come joint projects and programs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dependency<\/strong> (one-way, unilateral) both financially and intellectually<\/td>\nInterdependency<\/strong> (mutual, multilateral) intellectually and spiritually<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Doing<\/strong>: giving, teaching (i.e. delegations from north to south)<\/td>\nBeing<\/strong>: receiving, listening, learning<\/strong> (an effort to reverse the imbalance of power and work jointly toward harmonious exchange)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
