South Sudan: The dream of peace and education
In the current issue we report on our 2020 campaign on peace and education in South Sudan. In addition, we report on an emergency relief campaign in Indonesia for people living in poverty, who are particularly affected by the economic consequences of the Corona pandemic.
Auftrag
Our 'Auftrag' magazine sheds light on topics related to mission and ecumenism, with plenty of illustrative and background material. This magazine is published by the German-language Mission Press Cooperative (Kooperation deutschsprachige Missionspresse), which includes Mission 21 and five other mission organisations in Germany and Austria. Each issue focuses on one particular topic or geographical area. The 40-page 'Auftrag' magazine is published four times each year, in German, as a printed edition for Mission 21's benefactors.

Vanuatu
The current issue focuses on Vanuatu, the country of the World Day of Prayer 2021, an island state that is still unspoiled thanks to its remoteness from Corona - but faces quite different challenges, such as climate change and destructive storms. The research for this focus area was completed just before the Corona-related border closure in Vanuatu and provides exciting insights.
Annual Report and Financial Report
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. However, the annual report and financial report of 2019 are still provisional. Due to the pandemic, the synod planned for June has been postponed. The adoption of the reports is planned for autumn 2020.
