Mission Senders

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod   •   Mission Advancement

A Network of Families and Individuals Committed to Funding Our Missionaries

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s career and GEO missionaries (globally engaged in outreach missionaries serving one- to two-year terms) serve in diverse settings around the world. They have the opportunity to walk and live among the people they are serving, just as Christ did.

These missionaries serve in many roles, such as theological educators, mission strategists, English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) teachers, relationship builders, medical workers, construction workers and agricultural specialists.

But, before they can leave for their field of service, they must raise support for their mission service. Service costs can include airfare, visas, insurance and housing and living expenses.

By praying for and encouraging these missionaries, as well as providing regular or special gifts, you help send career and GEO missionaries to their fields of service. You share in spreading the Gospel message. You become a mission SENDER!
