Skills and Passions as Mission
Maybe you think your gifts and skills don’t fit the traditional picture of a missionary. But they may be just what God wants you to use to serve him in Africa.
One goal, many ways to get there
Whether it’s starting a business in a country where traditional mission work isn’t allowed, working with our support services as a pilot, a counsellor, an administrator, or using your giftings on one of our vocational teams in a rural area, there is always a way for God to use you.
Matze’s Story:
“As a collective of different photographers and content creators all around the world, our goal is to show what God is doing on the mission field, so people in our home countries are encouraged, can pray more specifically and might even get called to join the work themselves. The opportunities we have today to give insight into our lives as missionaries and keep our supporters updated are incredible.”
