12Stone™ Church's purpose to inspire life, share life and give life extends across continents and takes many different forms. We seek to establish long-term partnerships that uniquely meet the spiritual, leadership and physical needs of the countries we serve. The following global partners are our primary venues for expressing our passion to be One Church Serving Many Nations:

E.Q.U.I.P. is an Atlanta-based organization that is committed to training at least 1,000,000 international church leaders by the year 2008. Their plan features a three-year leadership training strategy for pastors and other church leaders in selected countries around the world (outside of North America). Each region is assigned a training team who visit every six months to provide instruction. This relational model encourages lasting relationships, stability and accountability in each nation. 12Stone has partnered with EQUIP in Nigeria, the United Kingdom and Ukraine.

World Hope International is a faith based relief and development organization alleviating suffering and injustice through education, enterprise and community health. World Hope International is currently bringing hope and healing to over 30 countries worldwide. 12Stone partners with World Hope in the following countries: Cambodia, Guatemala, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, and Zambia.

In addition, we engage several country specific partnerships with organizations that focus their work in a specific country or region. These partnerships include: IMPACTO! (Guatemala), Helping Hands Foreign Missions (Bolivia), and Service to Servants (Liberia).

Given the significant people and financial resources required to develop these partnerships, we are very deliberate about the partnerships we develop. Specifically, our partnerships are characterized by:

Strong national leadership. Our intent is to cultivate and develop strong national leadership to sustain and lead initiatives within the countries we partner.
Strong local churches. Our focus centers on equipping, enabling, and strengthening local churches in the countries we partner.
Strong relationships. Our prayer is to develop an on-going relational basis between 12Stone and the local church in the countries we partner. This will most often be expressed in the form of short-term teams visiting the host country.
Strong worldview. Our passion is to cultivate a well-articulated, shared worldview among the 12Stone family. We do this through various media and seek to equip people with an understanding of the many issues and a heart to pray.
