The Mission on Six Continents project was initiated at the LWF's suggestion by the USANC, in cooperation with the Lutheran Council in the U.S.A. and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, to determine how to better serve the mission needs of the world. A travelling consultation, held October 4-28, 1973, brought eight overseas church persons to selected areas of the U.S. to observe church life. At the conclusion of the visit, the consultants met at a national consulation on October 29-31, in Zion, Illinois, in order that Lutheran church leaders could hear visitors' observations and engage them in discussion.

The USANC dismissed its project committee in November 1974 with the recommendation that follow-up activities be undertaken by the LCUSA's Division of Mission and Ministry.
