Discover God’s Will for Your Life
“I’ve learned so much about the country of China, God’s people and most importantly, what God is doing there. I think this trip confirms my calling into full-time ministry, overseas or locally.”
Will, Age 21
“Being around other devoted Christians pushed me to seek God more in my own personal life in how I live out my faith and how I can witness to family and friends at home.”
Leslie, Age 23
“I believe that this summer has led to new discoveries in my own Christian living. The Lord has revealed to me passions and possible gifts that I have never paid attention to. Now, I will continue to develop in the areas of evangelism, prayer and servanthood for others.”
Nathan, Age 21

Go. Live. Serve.
Merge your education, career, and ministry. This is a site for Christians who want to pursue God’s calling for their lives. We are a sending agency committed to global outreach. We mobilize, equip and send committed Christian students and professionals to serve and reach the unreached in the megacities of the 10/40 Window through short-term programs as well as more extended commitment of two years and beyond.
Go short-term. Go long-term. Just go.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Tent-making
Tentmakers are ambassadors for Christ, self-supporting like the apostle Paul, who made tents for a living. Tentmaking provides both work and ministry platforms. By doing a good job, tentmakers contribute to society and demonstrate how Christian values are lived out in the real world. By reaching out to their colleagues, they have natural connections with local people, who are part of their everyday lives. Professions can provide good entry points to places that do not welcome traditional missionaries. Learn more.
Why go with a sending agency?
Tentmaking is challenging. As a missions-minded professional, you are called to do your work well and minister to other people, while adjusting to life in a foreign culture. The support of a like-minded community that understands the demands of your bi-vocational calling helps you to stay on course. Joining an agency offers you career counseling, pre-departure orientation, local support and accountability, on-going professional networking, pastoral care and mentoring through retreats, personal visits, prayer and regular email communications.
