FCME is not currently a formal membership organization. It works primarily organization to organization, helping ministries connect, learn and explore collaboration. Making contact or attending an FCME activity does not create membership, partnership, endorsement or funding eligibility.

FCME’s present work is supported through specific financial and in-kind contributions. The Abuja activities have an approved project budget administered through SIM, but FCME is not a SIM programme, grant-making body or general funding programme. Participation does not guarantee financial assistance.

FCME does not yet have a board or permanent legal structure. During this initial period, the Steering Committee guides strategic direction and boundaries, while the Working Group develops, tests and coordinates the work. Any longer-term structure will require a separate decision and meaningful Fulbe Christian participation.

No. FCME is a Christ-centred, Great Commission-focused ecosystem rather than a denomination or church authority. It encourages cooperation across denominations and mission organizations while each organization retains its own identity, theology, governance and ministry accountability.

FCME collects only the information needed for an agreed purpose and shares it on a need-to-know basis with appropriate consent. Names of vulnerable believers, precise ministry locations, persecution details and sensitive relationships should not be shared at the booth or through public forms. A safer private follow-up can be arranged.

The free workshop will take place on 28 October from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Congress facilities. It has its own RSVP process and does not require attendance at the full Congress. Space is managed separately, so anyone without an RSVP should ask FCME staff to confirm availability.

FCME welcomes conversations with Fulbe-led ministries, churches, mission agencies, Christian networks, funders and technical specialists. Collaboration normally begins by identifying a genuine need and considering a small, clearly defined step with consent, appropriate safeguards and clear responsibilities. An initial conversation or workshop attendance is not yet a formal partnership or endorsement.

No. Lausanne Nigeria organizes the Congress and manages its programme, registration, fees and admission. FCME is a separate, emerging initiative participating through an official Congress session, a booth and its own evening workshop. The workshop RSVP is separate from Congress registration, and neither organization governs or speaks for the other.
