Friends in NWYM are called to be and make friends of Jesus (Jn 15: 1-17) even among skeptics of Christianity and in places hostile to traditional western missions. Whether at home or abroad, Friends seek to fulfill Jesus’ call to love God and love our neighbors. We believe this love is expressed in thought, word, and deed, that it witnesses to God, its source, and that it extends, by its very nature, the Kingdom of God. Through our Board of Global Outreach, we send Friends, rooted in relationship with Jesus Christ and aligned to NWYM Faith and Practice, to participate in Spirit led ministry that bears fruit, whether or not it leads to establishing communities known as Friends. We seek and find ways to bless the people and nations where we live. We also maintain relationships with local meetings and their members partnering to serve God globally.
