The Lord calls. The church sends. We support.
Is the Lord calling you to serve in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, or Asia? We provide the structure, care, and opportunities for missionaries to serve the Lord among the nations.
Pathways
Career Missionary
The commitment of a career missionary is open-ended. Career missionaries work interdependently with other missionaries and follow God's lead in the area of service they feel called to do. Formal language study is a requirement. Career missionaries serve in and direct our ongoing ministries, develop new ministries, and may also work with teams.
Career Missionary Interest FormSojourner Missionary
Sojourner missionaries are short-term missionaries who serve directly with a career missionary or a Commissioned International ministry. They make a one-year commitment to serve on the mission field, with the option to recommit for an additional year. Basic language proficiency is recommended.
Sojourner Missionary Interest FormVolunteers
Volunteers may serve under the direction of a full-time Commissioned International missionary from two weeks to one year. Service should be associated with an existing Commissioned International ministry.

The Foundation
Do you feel that God is placing a special calling on your life to serve for an extended time in another country? We have been helping missionaries fulfill their calling to long-term and short-term missions since 1992. Prayer is indispensable. Pray for affirmation and confirmation of a clear calling from God to the mission field.

Phase 2: Interviews & Board Approval (2 to 4 months)
Your completed application will be reviewed by our administrative staff. If approved, the interviews will begin. Career and sojourner missionaries interview with administrative staff, directors of the ministries where they wish to serve, and our Board of Trustees Personnel Committee.

Phase 3: Orientation & Fundraising (6 to 12 months)
Board-approved career and sojourner missionaries attend a two-day orientation meeting with our administrative staff to begin their preparation for fundraising and departure. All missionaries and volunteers are responsible for raising funds for their personal and ministry expenses.

Phase 4: Commissioning & Pre-field Training (1 month)
Your sending church will host a commissioning service to bless and affirm your call. Missionaries then attend the Center for Intercultural Training, where they receive strategic missionary training on transitioning to new cultures.
