Our Mission
Who We Are
Born out of a desire to see the God reach the ends of the earth with the Gospel, and with a special call to the Kingdom of Eswatini, Bound Together: Eswatini Partnership holds forth a simple goal: for the Kingdom of Eswaini, in its entirety, to know and love the Lord. Although the goal is singular and simple, it is not an easy task. The Kingdom of Eswatini presents its own set of challenges in being reached, and Bound Together is a strategic partnership of American Baptist churches and the Baptist Church of Eswatini to share with the unreached of the country. This partnership has identified five core areas of work to assist in this goal, and to facilitate the creation of reproducing disciples in the Kingdom. These areas meet both the spiritual and physical needs of the people, and are biblically based. We desire to be people of the call to the go, found in Matthew 28.

Our Core Values
Prayer Driven Ministry
We believe that effective ministry flows from our connection with God. We place prayer at the foundation of everything we do, seeking His wisdom and guidance in every decision and action.
Gospel-Centered Focus
We keep the Good News of Jesus Christ at the heart of all we do. Whether through evangelism or compassionate service, we recognize that true transformation comes only through Him. Every person we serve is valued as made in God’s image, worthy of experiencing Christ’s love.
Servant Leadership
Following Jesus’ example, we lead through humility and sacrificial love. We honor local culture and wisdom, positioning ourselves as learners first and putting others’ needs before our own comfort. We build trust through genuine relationships and understanding.
Excellence in Stewardship
We steward all resources – time, talent, and treasure – with integrity and wisdom. Recognizing that everything belongs to God, we pursue excellence in our work and commit to sustainable, long-term impact through faithful partnerships.
Unity in Action
We serve as one body across cultures, denominations, and organizations. By working together in harmony, we multiply our impact for God’s Kingdom through lasting partnerships with local churches, leaders, and communities.
