The Jewels in His Crown movement has been around for some twelve years now, aiming to:

·         Facilitate commitment to and expertise in Asian ministry by equipping and training the next generation of leadership and cross-cultural mission among South Asians in Britain to people from all religious backgrounds including Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and culturally Christian

·         Challenge the Church to recognise South Asian followers of Jesus Christ in Britain as a significant community and to respond appropriately

·         Celebrate the cultural diversity and richness of the multi-cultural Body of Christ in Britain and to help South Asians to give back to the wider British church

·         Call people to fellowship in the national network of South Asian followers of Jesus

Jewels in His Crown has run a weekend conference every two years and occasional day conferences, with speakers chosen because of their expertise in drawing others to Christ and with knowledge of what it is like to be South Asian in Britain today.  It has run workshops and discussions on relevant issues and generally endeavoured to bring a fresh challenge and teaching to encourage mission amongst South Asians, as well as to give a forum for networking and learning from each other.

When in late 2010 the South Asian Forum of the Evangelical Alliance, www.eauk.org/saf was formed with some overlapping aims and some different ones, working in partnership was an obvious next step, in the areas in which Jewels had built up some valuable experience to share.
