MOST Ministries' Partners Program is designed to assist you in becoming more actively involved with international missions, even if you are never called to go on a trip. Mission Senders are a vital part of mission work. For every person who leaves home on a short-term mission trip, many more are needed to support them from right here in the States... before, during, and after the mission trip.
Listed below are several partnership opportunities:
Prayer Partner!
Become an integral part of a mission team by providing prayer support for our team members before, during and after their mission trip. As a team Prayer Partner, you will receive a mission trip calendar and specific information about the mission, learning about the culture in which your adopted team will serve, their project, and the people with whom they will work. Individuals, small groups and families are needed to take the praises and concerns of our teams before the throne of God.
Evangelism Partner!
MOST Ministries team that serve in an open country provides an opportunity for the Gospel message to be shared with the local people. This sharing is done through presentations, devotions, viewing of "The Jesus Film", and individual witnessing. Witnessing aids, such as bead necklaces, crocheted finger puppets, tracts, and literature in the local language are all used to share Jesus' message.
You can help our teams by collecting, making or purchasing the following items for our teams:
Mentor Partner!
If you have served on a team before use your experience to help prepare others as they head off to the mission field for the first time or as they take on a project you have previously done. As a Team Mentor, you will have the opportunity to share your experiences with a team or individual... what you saw, learned, did, what you wish you would have known before hand or wished you had packed... etc. Here is a chance for you to use your experience to equip others for success on the mission field.
Financial Partner!
In addition to the time and work team members expend preparing for and carrying out a mission project, they are also responsible for the costs involved. You can help send an individual or team by providing financial support for the trip or project costs. $10 is the average cost per hour for team members to serve overseas, $25 provides transportation of 50 pounds of project supplies, and $100 provides one interpreter's services for a project.
