World Division
1431. Purpose--The World Division exists to confess Jesus Christ as divine Lord and Savior to all people in every place, testifying to his redemptive and liberating power in every sphere of human existence and activity, and calling all people to Christian obedience and discipleship.
The World Division, through responsibilities delegated to it by the General Board of Global Ministries and on behalf of The United Methodist Church, seeks to fulfill the purpose by:
1. Coordination of relationships and administration of program of The United Methodist Church as it relates to areas outside the United States.
2. Engaging mutually in mission with colleague churches and other bodies outside the United States, and facilitating their interaction with the Church and society in the United States so that all become more effective in Christian mission.
