Close up: project coordinators from all over the world talk about their work
In the December issue, the people who are closest to Mission 21's projects have their say: The coordiators in the partner countries. They tell us how they work under difficult conditions and what motivates them to work day after day for the most vulnerable people.
Also in this issue: a report on interfaith peacebuilding in Nigeria and impressions from the Mission 21 Summer School on racism and discrimination.
Mission Press Cooperative
Mission 21 works together with five other mission organisations in Germany and Austria. Together we form the Mission Press Cooperative (Kooperation Missionspresse). All the magazines of these mission organisations - including "begegnen" - are accessible online in an app, a digital magazine kiosk. In the magazine "Eine Welt" you will find articles on the topic of mission and ecumenism, which have previously also appeared in our magazine "Auftrag". In future, however, you will also find selected articles from this cooperation online on our website in the "News" section.
Digital magazine kiosk (partly for a fee): App.missionspresse.org or via app, keyword missionpress

The Annual Report provides information about Mission 21's work and our principles, and it shows how we applied those principles during the year under review. It includes the annual financial statement together with details about the origin and use of funds. Key donor groups are mentioned by name. The Report also includes information about the mission organisation's structure and governing bodies, together with a brief portrait of Mission 21. The Annual Report is published every June to coincide with Mission 21's international Mission Synod.
