Our Experience
MOST Ministries has been facilitating short-term teams for the past 20 years. We have sent over 200 teams to 36 countries around the world and have touched the lives of over 100,000 people with the love of Jesus in word and action.
Our Focus
No matter what type of team you may be on, every MOST Ministries mission experience includes sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ through a clear Gospel presentation. When we work in a country that does not allow the Gospel message to be shared by foreigners, we respect the laws of that country and rely on the believers within the country to take the lead in any witnessing opportunity.
Our Partnership
MOST Ministries is a Recognized Serve Organization (RSO) of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. We work closely with LCMS World Missions in strategically supporting the needs of missionairies in the field and helping them to achieve their ministry goals.
Our Team Leaders
Every MOST Ministries team is led by a trained team leader. Before any team leader can lead their own team, he / she must had at least four MOST Ministries Team experiences. They also must successfully complete a team leader training course and served on the mission field as a team leader trainee. Our team leaders are very well-versed in crisis management and can handle virtually any issue that may arise on the field. They serve as the liaison between the team and the in-country hosts. They also serve as the spiritual leader, helping team members to see Christ at work in and through them. Our team leaders are also Red Cross certified in First Aid and CPR. ou can depend on them to facilitate a meaningful mission experience.
Our Staff
In order to identify ministry needs, the MOST Ministry staff communicates with missionaries and national church partners around the world to see how short-term mission teams can help them meet their strategic ministry goals. Additionally, the staff arranges all aspects of the project and travel logistics, including flights, accommodations, food, transportation, visas, travelers' insurance, etc.
