The Global Mission Committee concentrates on mission endeavors outside the Presbytery boundaries. Its ministry is accomplished primarily through partnerships with on-site denominations that are equivalent to the PCUSA. The term “mutual mission” is appropriately used to describe the type of relationship that is sought in each global partnership – that is, a relationship in which each partner is blessed by and benefits from the gifts of the other. For example, Americans may offer resources derived from great wealth and technical expertise while their partners in other racial and ethnic groups may offer precious insights and examples of spirituality, community, hope, patience, and humility. Through visits, prayer, advocacy, and attention to current political/economic situations, the partners establish strong bonds of solidarity even though thousands of miles may separate them.

Guatemala Partnership
The partnership with the Mayan Kaqchikel Presbytery in Guatemala is an excellent example of active, vibrant global mission. See www.guatemalapartnership.org or contact Kim Champagne (the partnership's web-mistress) at wkchamp@verizon.net  for a full discussion of this global partnership.

Cuba Partnership
In November, 2003, the Presbytery of Baltimore approved a new partnership with El Centro Presbytery in Cabaiguan, Cuba. This newest of the Presbytery's partnerships is still in the development stages. Please visit www.cubapartnership.org for a look at the exciting possibilities it presents.

Native American Partnership
While it is geographically the United States contains the "Indian Nation", it may be perceived as foreign land with which to form a partnership. For several years, a relationship of mutual mission has been growing between Baltimore Presbytery and the Dakota Presbytery. Groups from the Baltimore Presbytery have been going to Makasan Presbyterian Church in Oglala, SD to help run learning camps since 2003. In the summer of 2007, another new learning camp site was added in Porcupine. Porcupine joins Makasan and Pine Ridge as the third Learning Camp site.  All three of these sites are on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota.  Please click Hau Kola or visit the Hau Kola Learning Camps website, www.houkolalearningcamps.org , for 2008 camp applications and additional information.
