To be a mission partner with MCN is to share the love and peace of Jesus with those who don’t know Him. While all Christians are called to be His witnesses, living and serving in a place where few people know Jesus, means every relationship opens new doors for proclaiming the Gospel!
God has prepared you—through your gifts and experiences—for His Kingdom work. And MCN’s team, with 200+ years of cross-cultural experience, is ready to help equip you to serve alongside a trusted overseas partner.
Our overseas partners are asking for more people to serve with them. Could you be part of God’s answer to their prayers?

“God does not call the equipped, but equips the called. I certainly did not feel qualified for the work I was sent to do, but it’s amazing to look back and see how God used even the times that felt like complete failure to serve a bigger purpose.”
— Lynnea, missionary to the Philippines
“Now may the God of peace … equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.”
— Hebrews 13:20-21
