What We Do

We have four ongoing objectives that move us toward our dream of every church leading the way in holistically transforming their community.

We invest time in deepening relationships and trust.

Collective is more than our name—it’s our way forward. We’ve established a regular rhythm of meeting together through Zoom calls and in-person gatherings in Malawi, Central America, and the United States. These meetings deepen our relationships, the foundation of our collaborative work.

We maintain and pursue three sets of mid- to long-range goals:

Malawi Goals
The Malawi Country Directors at HOPE International, Tearfund, and World Relief set and pursue goals that help us scale up, integrate programs that capitalize on each other’s competencies, and co-create when we choose to test new ideas together.


U.S. and U.K. Goals
Church and organizational leaders in the U.S. and U.K. set and pursue goals to expand our community, apply what we learn from our Malawi and Central America counterparts, and advocate for new ways to partner together.


Central America Goals
Central American leadership at ENLACE, Living Water International, HOPE International, and Tearfund set and pursue goals that allow us to scale up our efforts, test new ideas together, and integrate programs that capitalize on each partner’s strengths.

We seek to aggressively expand funding available to accelerate work in Malawi and Central America.

We maintain two grant funds: one to support collaborative work in Central America and one to support collaborative work in Malawi. We invite churches, individuals, and foundations who believe in collective impact to contribute to both funds. Schedule a conversation to learn more about these innovative grant funds.

We seek to understand and scale our successes.

We aim to serve more churches more effectively. We self-assess, expand what’s working, and redirect what isn’t. We openly share our learnings with anyone and hope to see collective church-based community development multiply across the world.

If you’d like to be a part of moving the Collective forward, there’s a place for you.
