Daar word met opgewonde verwagting uitgesien na die ontwikkeling van hierdie derde Cluster in die Hoëveldstreek. Indien hierdie groep almal sou besluit om wel by die Vennootskapsreis in te skakel, sal daar 24 gemeentes in die Hoëveldstreek by die Vennootskap betrokke wees.
Onder diegene wat betrokke gaan wees, is onder andere ook ds Theo Janse van Rensburg wat tans ingeskryf is by US vir die Meestergraad wat fokus op Missionêre Gemeentes.

We met on the campus of the Justo Mwali Seminary situated along a dusty, dirt road beside a growing community of homes most of us would consider substandard. We lived in small dormitories, each with desk and requisite candle for when the power went off. The dorms formed two sides of a courtyard in which we ate in the winter sun. On the third side stood the kitchen and showers, and on the other the Booth Center where we met. 
Our time was spent divided between meetings and off site visits. We gathered from Australia, Kenya, Korea, Malawi, New Zealand, Nigeria, North America, South Africa, United Kingdom, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. The consultation was something none of us anticipated. God showed us things we would never have understood staying in our contexts and cultures. In creating opportunities to cross boundaries, allowing those of us from the West to be the minority needing to listen attentively, we heard God in unexpected ways about the challenge of mission in the globalizing, multi-narrative worlds of late modernity. To make sense of why we came to Africa we must go back to the beginning of the project.
