This article reflects on the 125 year legacy of Amy Carmichael’s, The Dohnavur Fellowship. It argues that the sign of a good mission is not merely its survival for said many years, but it’s ability to carry on its vocation by broadening, reflecting and reimagining its mission for every generation. It explores how Christian mission, in order to continue serving meaningfully, should go beyond the work of their founders to the creation of relevant and meaningful communities shaped by worship, belonging and service. The article also considers Dohnavur’s significance particularly in their relationship between the gospel and social care, the importance of indigenous Christian agency, and the changing dynamics of mission between the West and the Global South. Finally, it offers a challenge to the Church in the West to build faith communities where people belong.
