Someone has to.
Why not you?
We are not looking for perfect people. We are looking for willing ones. If God is calling you to the unreached, we want to help you get there.

Your sending church, MANDATE, and your prayer and financial partners all celebrate and commission you. Then you go.
Things people
usually ask.
Do I need a seminary degree?
No. Formal theological training helps but is not required. Character, calling, and church support matter more. We'll train you.
Can I go as a family?
Yes. We actively recruit and support missionary families. We have resources specifically for children growing up cross-culturally.
How long is a commitment?
We expect a minimum four-year commitment from candidates. Most of our missionaries serve for decades. This is long-term work.
Do you send to dangerous places?
Some of our fields involve elevated risk. We do thorough security assessment, provide training, and will not send people into situations we judge to be irresponsible.
How is my financial support structured?
MANDATE provides a framework for building personal support through your network and church. We help with the process and provide administrative support.
