Scatter is a global collective that cares deeply about the flourishing of society. We believe that for this to happen, the voice and vision of the local leaders around the world must be primary.
With a posture of listening, we connect local leaders to a broader community of people and resources by cultivating common spaces that nurture mutual partnership.
As marketplace leaders; creatives and risk-takers, investors and entrepreneurs and disruptors, we are committed to showing up well and helping others do the same.
We choose to shift the focus...
enterprise over aid
partnership over paternalism
mutual flourishing over poverty alleviation
strengths-based over deficit-based
relational over transactional
We are choosing to no longer live in “west to the rest” but “everywhere to everywhere." We acknowledge that too often and for too long the current paradigms implicitly bias the west as superior in theology, knowledge, means, and expertise in solving intractable problems.
We commit to the practice of decentering oneself as the hero in the story of God in the world, seeking to embody the upside-down way of Jesus of Nazareth. We do not bring God as much as we are witnesses to a God who is already active and present in the world.
As a spiritually formed, globally interconnected community, we nurture friendships that seek to understand each other's needs and share resources for the common good.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
WHAT WE DO
Convene
We want to pull up our chair to sit at the table of local leaders around the world. Accepting invitations to partner together to see flourishing in their spheres. What do they want to see? What do they have driving their vision? What do they need in order to thrive?
Connect
We want to invite others to the table. In a spirit of mutuality and co-creating, let’s bring the right people together in a thriving partnership. If talent is needed, we want to connect leaders with talented individuals. If capital is needed, we want to find the right investors. Sharing resources to bring dynamic, global flourishing.
Cultivate
We want to journey together, growing in both thought and action. We want to be a hub of relevant resources that help individuals, organizations, and churches show up well in the world. We want to develop a prophetic imagination for a way of living and being in the world, through education and content creation/curation.
