RECRUITING FOR MISSIONS

Imagine living out the calling God has entrusted to you.

 

You feel your heart stirred by stories of people encountering Jesus for the first time.  And you wonder if you are being called to take the good news to other parts of the world.

But there are so many questions. 

  • How do I prepare?

  • How do I find financial support?

  • How do I discern my calling from God?

  • Where will I go?

  • What do I do next?

We are here for you!

Here's your 4-step plan:

1.

 

Download the GUIDE Reflection Process.

 

The first step is an easy, simple step. Download the discernment GUIDE and it starts the conversation so you can learn how to find a good fit for your mission or ministry goals. No matter what happens next, slowing down and processing these questions will give you a document you can keep coming back to for further growth and development. Just click here to get started!

2.

Discern your next steps.

 

After you've filled out your GUIDE, send it to us at startthejourney@mrnet.org to discern your next steps. MRN staff will prayerfully read through it and reach out to set up a free coaching conversation with you. An experienced staff member will walk with you through the GUIDE reflection page and help you make a practical plan for the next steps in exploring God’s calling for your life.    

3.

Immerse yourself in training.

 

After assessment, MRN will walk beside you in many areas of training, including theological, experiential, cultural, and strategical. An emphasis will be placed on disciple making. There are three phases of training:
* Candidate Phase: interactive learning and experience in the four areas above
* Resident Phase: apprentice learning on the field with coaching and mentoring
* Pre-Launch Phase: preparing to move cross-culturally with funding and a sending church

4.

Fulfill your missions calling!

 

You and your team will land in another country with skills, experience, and dependency on God to being effectively sharing the hope of Jesus with unreached people. Your sending church will oversee our work and provide encouragement and support. You will continue to have the MRN team alongside you as coaches and mentors, and as a larger initiative team working toward the same vision.

Where will you go?

We train mission workers for reaching the unreached people groups of the world. God has called us - and may be calling you - specifically into two areas where unreached people are concentrated:

BENGAL INITIATIVE
MEDITERRANEAN RIM INITIATIVE

In the Bengal Initiative, we strive to step into the story God is revealing in His pursuit of more than two billion Hindu and Buddhist people. Historically there has been little response among these people groups. However, recent social and political events have caused major tectonic shifts that are tearing apart the fabric of societies, causing many to be dissatisfied with traditional belief systems. There are many who are seeking after God and new Kingdom opportunities never seen before. We seek to build partnerships with national leaders and work together to facilitate the growth of Gospel movements in this region of the world.

The MedRim Initiative is both a collective vision and collaborative partnership. We endeavor to step into the story God is unfolding in His pursuit of the Muslim world around the Mediterranean Sea. There has been virtually no impact of the gospel among the Muslim people in this region for the last 1,400 years, but God is pursuing them through dreams, visions, and other disciples. The MedRim Initiative is a joint effort between churches, missionaries, and MRN working together to mobilize indigenously-led spiritual communities of Jesus followers in order to spread the gospel and transform cities.
