English A reverse-mission approach to international social work is explored, drawing upon ecumenical efforts of global mission education. Instead of teaching, preaching, and trying to convert others, emphasis is on learning, consciousness-raising, and advocating for changes in one's home country that can impact poverty and injustice in the world. French Cet article explore une approche dite ‘de mission renversée’ en travail social international, qui s’inspire d’efforts écuméniques en éducation pour une mission globale. Plutôt que d’enseigner, de précher et d’essayer de convertir les autres, l’emphase est mise sur l’apprentissage, la conscientisation et le plaidoyer en vue de changements à apporter dans son propre pays, qui pourraient avoir un impact sur la pauvreté et l’injustice dans le monde. Spanish Se explora el ‘reverso de la misión’ como acercamiento al trabajo social internacional, diseñado sobre los esfuerzos ecuménicos de la misión educativa global. En lugar de enseñar, practicar y tratar de convertir a otros, el énfasis está en el aprendizage, la concientización y el abogar por los cambios en el propio país, que pueden tener un impacto en la pobreza e injusticia en el mundo
