Based across the United States, our staff members help congregations deepen their frontier mission engagement. They’re available to teach, preach, meet with mission committees and ministry leaders, lead international trips and serve in various other capacities.
Non-administrative staff members raise their own financial support through the generosity of churches and individual donors.
