The Norwegian Mission Society
The Norwegian Mission Society( NMS) was founded in 1842, as an independent society within the Church of Norway. NMS works today together with churches on 4 continents and approximately 100 missionaries are working on the field at all times.

NMS aims to be a dynamic part of God’s plan in bringing the Gospel to all nations.
 
VISION
Participate to the creation of living and acting churches in mission.
 
MOTTO
Bridging gaps in words and deeds.
 
OUR COMMON PRAYER
“Your kingdom come”
 
Our engagement is focused on three programs:
 
EVANGELISM AND CHURCH WORK
-          Evangelism in areas where the knowledge of the gospel is either marginal
or non-existent.
-          Church work where the gospel is about to gain a foothold.
-          Training of leaders for congregations and churches.
-          Facilitating the congregations and partner churches to become mission minded.
 
DIAKONIA AND DEVELOPMENT
-          Local capacity. Our local partners have the necessary capacity and competence to run and administer the activities.
-          Local participation: Specific activities are defined in close co-operation with the target group and the local government.
-          Local sustainability
 
MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION
-          Building local competence for mutual benefit and sharing.
-          Organisational development projects aimed at developing good and efficient church organisations.
-          Focusing on credibility concerning social-ethical challenges, stewardship and administration.
-          Raising awareness about peace and reconciliation questions, as well as contributing to processes to achieve conflict transformation.
