“The Kingdom Restoration Society” is committed to the development of relationships with the church world-wide that shares the vision of true reciprocity in mission and in the formation of strategic alliances.

        “Partnership” is a popular term used by the missionary culture in the ‘West’.  Though it sounds good it has a significant flaw. It leaves in place a “colonial model” of relationships.  A model envisioning the movement of resources from the “haves” to the “have-nots”. It also subtly perpetuates the vision that nothing significant will be accomplished by the ‘rest’ without the financial resources of the more affluent partner in the ‘West’. Rather than developing mutuality it keeps a one-way flow of resources from the “West” so that true mutuality never adequately develops. 

The term “Alliance-Relationships” replaces the term “Partnerships”.

A “Society” is a voluntary association of like-minded believers capturing the unbridled enthusiasm at the congregational level for the seeking of the Kingdom of God globally. Since a “Society” can not be everywhere and do everything, KRS is committed to form strategic alliances in the universal church to give structure for the advance of the church in building the Kingdom of God. 

The flow of the resources of God’s grace will flow in a reciprocal fashion to enrich all who engage in this vision. Each ally in an Alliance-Relationship discerns the special gifts of God’s grace entrusted to them for the mutual blessing of the church universal.

The primary function of the “Society” will be to facilitate the formation of alliances between churches and Christian organizations with counterparts from other parts of the country, continent or from the larger world. Some possible models of alliances linking resources to points of need are:

 1. An alliance between an educational institution and the church. Established and developed theological colleges commit to training local leadership for the church.  Local colleges link with the church in other parts of the region to train pastors and key leaders at a fraction of the cost of being trained outside their local context.

2. An alliance between multiple congregations for the work of training elders, deacons and pastors in areas of the world where there is an emerging and/or struggling church.

3. An alliance between congregation(s), Christian agencies committed to medical, agricultural ministry and animal husbandry participating in holistic community development.

4. An alliance between individual congregations and  the church in oppressed areas of the large cities of the world to provide Christian education and holistic care for  the marginalized of society.

5.  An alliance between Christian businesses in  the medical, technical and manufacturing arenas and local congregation(s) to foster self-sustaining economic development in oppressed areas of the world.
