History

In the early 1980’s, Phill Butler launched InterDev with a focus on developing on-the-ground mission partnerships among the “gateway people groups.”

InterDev’s first partnership meeting took place in 1986 in the city of Málaga, Spain and brought together eight ministries working in the North Africa region. Over the next two decades, InterDev would go on to help pioneer the modern partnership movement in Christian mission.

InterDev began in 1986 with one partnership of 8 ministries. By 2002, the work had grown to 92 operating partnerships and 65 developing partnerships involving more than 3000 organizations in 55 countries. In addition, there were 22 regional consultations and an international training program in 7 languages hosting 35 events a year with nearly 4000 participants in all.
