Throughout our history as an Alliance family, God has sustained and honored the passion, love, and faithful service of our churches in their neighborhoods and communities. This is the true heart of the Alliance. The work and dedication of every local church form the foundation of all we are able to accomplish together around the world under one shared purpose.

The Alliance World Fellowship celebrated 50 years of global mission, unity, and faith. From its humble roots in Congo to its growth into a worldwide movement, this milestone highlights how God’s faithfulness continues to shape the future of the global church.

In his New Year's message, President Jura Yanagihara highlights the Alliance World Fellowship’s (AWF) enduring mission over the past 50 years, celebrating the unity and collaboration of Alliance National Churches in fulfilling the Great Commission as a sacred calling. While recognizing the difficulties posed by a rapidly evolving global landscape—marked by economic instability, conflicts, humanitarian emergencies, and environmental challenges—he reaffirms the AWF’s unwavering dedication to proclaiming the gospel and compassionately serving communities in need.

Nepal and South Korea are now members of the Alliance World Fellowship, welcomed at the AWF Quadrennial Convocation in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The revised Statement of Faith and the Guayaquil Manifesto were approved amid a unifying atmosphere at the business sessions. The AWF officers for the next term were elected and all proposals were approved as presented.

The first AWF Quadrennial Convocation in the middle of a global pandemic took place in Milagro, Ecuador. Around 300 registered delegates were welcomed by more than 200 volunteers from the Milagro Central Alliance Church and the Ecuadorian C&MA to form a beautiful expression of the global Alliance family. We could experience the richness of being one, formed by many races, languages and colors, united in Jesus Christ, our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King. The unity in diversity. The unity of the Spirit that comes from sanctification. The unity that mobilizes the Alliance family to God’s mission. This was a wonderful experience.

Seventy-five women from five AWF regions attended the AWF Global Network of Alliance Women’s virtual gathering on June 9, 2021. Thanks to our Heavenly Father, it was a success and a blessing! Pray that this ministry reaches even more women across our global family.
