Global Great Commission Network

The Tokyo 2010 Global Mission Consultation was not intended to be an end in itself, but the beginning of a movement to see all peoples discipled in our generation. With this vision, the Tokyo 2010 Planning Committee took the following steps in meetings September 1, 2010 and August 23-25, 2011 to create the Global Great Commission Network – Carrying Tokyo 2010 Forward.

  • The ‘Global Great Commission Network – Carrying Tokyo 2010 Forward’ was formed, with the understanding that this network is autonomous grouping or a system of interconnected people or things, a complex system. It is intended to be very inter-relational – not up or down driven.
  • An interim coordinating team was tasked with the responsibility up to approximately 12/31/12 to pursue initial network goals, to continue to build a coordinating team, and to research and report recommendations on possible network structure of the Tokyo 2010 Mission Network.
  • Initial priorities or goals were accepted as follows:
    1. Define discipleship
    2. A functional and dynamic web page
    3. The Last Mile Calling project
    4. Tokyo 2010 Declaration promotion
    5. Archives and Compendium
    6. Tokyo 2010 media promotion, including online newsletter
    7. Search for a global ambassador that gives face and visability to the network
    8. A global discipleship assessment survey
    9. Provide online services including webinars and resource lists
    10. Develop 2 strategy working groups as continuation of Tokyo 2010 workshops
  • A Vision Statement and a Purpose Statement were adopted as follows:
Vision Statement

Purpose Statement
