Missions

Team Associate:

A Team Associate is not funded through the IMB but works closely with an IMB church-planting team. This individual generally uses his or her profession overseas while supporting a church-planting effort. They serve two year assignments.

Journeyman:

IMB offers a unique, fully funded, two year missions opportunity for college graduates under age 30. Journeymen are sent by their church through IMB to join an international missionary team to share the gospel, make disciples and help plant churches. For more information go to: www.imb.org/students/go-2-years-journeyman/

Macedonia Project:

This is for individuals who have a long-term call but do not have seminary training yet. Those who sign up for this program go to the field and take seminary clasess while they are working on a church-planting team. The IMB pays for half of the degree, while the seminary covers the other half (one of six Southern Baptist Seminaries). There is no age limit for this pathway. Macedonia workers serve three to four years and are funded through the IMB.

TWO + TWO:

The Two + Two program is another avenue through the seminaries. The first two years are spent at a seminary, and the last two years are spent working with a church-planting team on the field. This option is not funded through a scholarship. The last two years overseas are IMB-funded.

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE CORPS

This program is for anyone who wants to go, but doesn’t want to go long-term. An individual can serve for two or three years on missionary church-planting teams. No college degree or seminary credits are required. Retirees would be encouraged to go this route, if they wanted to spend a few years on the field. This opportunity is also IMB-funded.

FIELD SUPPORT

Field support roles include professionals who work in logistics, finance or some other role that directly supports church planters and other IMB personnel on the field. They work overseas and do share the gospel, but most of their time is spent on their professional role. The IMB fully funds this position.

CAREER MISSIONARY

A Career Missionary serves as a church planter. They begin their first four-year term as an apprentice missionary, and work alongside an established church-planting team. On their next term, they return as a church planter. Their full time job is the core missionary task. They are fully funded and this would be a long-term pathway.

MISSIONARY ASSOCIATE

An associate does the same work as a church planter, but they do not have to have a seminary background. It is an ideal role for someone who has pastored or worked in ministry for many years but has no seminary degree. The requirement here is a life experience requirement. This is IMB-funded and a long-term pathway.

This will be the third year we are blessed to put a team together to help Favor City Church and Pastor Joseph with their annual Fall Festival in Henderson Nevada! This team will canvass the areas near the park where the festival is held, promoting their event, and prayer walking. Then we will help host the festival, talking with adults and helping with the many children's games and activities that night! It is a great time of interacting with their community and sharing about Jesus and Favor City Church! There will be various other ministry projects that week, and an opportunity to worship with them on Sunday morning. This is a great opportunity to be a part of what God is doing in Las Vegas.
