National Alliances, raised up and led by indigenous leaders in their respective countries, serve the body of Christ by uniting Evangelicals in common purpose, and addressing needs related to their national issues. When a government inflames religious nationalism, the Alliance becomes a representing voice before governments and courts. In the face of an oppressive religious majority, it initiates an international response. In times of competitive action among churches, it nurtures unity in prayer and common witness.
