Global partnerships IMB collaborates with diverse churches and networks across regions (Living Hope RVA, Asian Baptist churches in Singapore, Dover Baptist Association) indicating readiness for joint initiatives, shared mission campaigns, and cross-border ministry programs that could benefit from technology, training, or fundraising solutions.

Digital modernization IMB engages with AI and digital ministry through the Director of Innovation and Artificial Intelligence and attendance at digital ministry conferences, signaling openness to scalable tech platforms, data analytics, and content distribution tools that can enhance donor outreach and volunteer mobilization.

Funding volatility Budget pressures from inflation and Cooperative Program declines are acknowledged, with expectations of new funding streams (Lottie Moon Offering, additional IMB funding) suggesting opportunities for donor analytics, streamlined giving platforms, and impact reporting to strengthen fundraising.

Risk management leadership Recent leadership changes in risk management and involvement with security-focused organizations indicate a priority on safety, compliance, and incident response; potential fit for risk assessment tools, training programs, and secure collaboration solutions for field operations.

North American collaboration Strategic partnerships with North American Mission Board reinforce a regional alliance model; this opens avenues for joint campaigns, shared technology stacks, and co-branded initiatives that can be scaled to other partners or regions.
