Global Mission Co-Workers

Global Ministries mission co-workers work with ministry partners all over the world, filling needs identified by those partners based on the Critical Presence criteria, meeting God's people and creation at the point of deepest need: spiritually, physically, emotionally, and/or economically. 

Mid-America is blessed to be in relationship with some of these missionaries. We are excited to follow and support the vital work they do. Upon completion of each of their 3-4 year terms overseas, they spend time traveling within the U.S., sharing their experiences. If you would like to have one of them speak in your congregation during their next home assignment, please contact us for scheduling.
