The Pacific Network for Mission Education (PNME) is a Christian ecumenical organization with roots in the global mission education movements of the early 1900s.

PNME inherits the tradition of the Pacific Southwest Conference on World Christian Mission (PSCWCM). Leaders of the PSCWCM organized mission education conferences for decades at Asilomar, where adults and children learned about the witness of the Christian communities' response to needs of healing in all parts of the world, spiritually and in terms of global justice. The expressed intent of the conferences was to inspire and train leaders who would transform their local congregations into centers of mission.

Announcing 
2012 PNME Mission Education Grants

PNME mission education grants are available to the community for facilitation of attendance of  classes, service/learning, and mission study trips undertaken in efforts to learn about the mission of the global church and to clarify the call to mission.

In 2011 PNME began to focus significant resources on providing financial mission education grants that encourage recipients participate in mission-based approaches to learning provided by other organizations.  PNME appreciates that mission education takes place in many settings, by laity and clergy, in congregations and in the world.  God’s mission is by all and with all.

PNME seeks applicants for mission education grants whose intended experience and learning shares our broad understanding of mission and who indicate a desire to be strengthened in their roles in mission by their intended project of learning.
