Fostering dignity in an unjust world



Mission Alliance is an independend Christian mission organization established in 1901. Diaconia is the term that best sums up and describes Mission Alliance’s work - it represents evangelism in practice and is expressed through compassion, the fight for justice, inclusive fellowship, and the good stewardship of creation. 

In an unjust world where the dignity of individuals is threatened and trampled upon, we foster righteousness and nurture progress. This gives us motivation and determination.Because of our diaconal identity we have a responsibility to ask “who are the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people or groups?”

The answer varies from country to country. Women and children are particularly affected by poverty. People with disabilities are especially exposed to marginalization and discrimination. In many places, ethnic minorities and indigenous people are deprived of their rights and subject to discrimination and poverty. Diaconia is the term that brings together and describes Missions Alliance’s work. 

Here are the countries where Mission Alliance currently works:
