Serving by Becoming a Missionary

Becoming a missionary

Central Asia is a real pioneering challenge for any Christian. No other area of the world provides as big a challenge in missions today. You’ll live in a very different culture where things are done very differently. And you’ll have no choice but to rely on God every day.

Are you ready for the challenge? Committed to reaching the unreached? Prepared to trust God to supply all your needs? Then don’t miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime!

We have many openings in teams throughout Central Asia and there are new fields to be developed by those with a pioneering spirit. We will explore the possibilities with you to help you find you calling. We will help you to be adequately equipped for service and provide you with on-going training and support.

People International places a strong emphasis on teams. Workers are placed in existing teams wherever possible, or teams are built up around them, in order to strengthen individual ministries, to combine resources and to aim for mutual goals.

To be a missionary you will need:

• a heart for the spiritually lost
• the support of your home church
• the ability to adapt to the local culture
• the ability to work in hardship situations
• a willingness to learn a new language
• a willingness to work in close co-operation with a cross-cultural team

In order to be effective you will need to be looking at an initial commitment of at least two years. If this is not possible there are other opportunities, including short-term trips and one or two year internships.
