Mission service
Ever since God called Abraham to step out and take a journey of faith, he has been calling people to live and work across cultures.
If you sense God leading you in this way, come and talk to us. We can help you explore opportunities in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America. |
Step 1. Explore your calling
Before stepping out, we want to walk with you as you explore your call to mission. We believe it is vital to clarify your sense that God is calling you to a new stage in your life. You need to weigh up many factors that will affect this decision and seek God’s guidance to step out in faith.
Are you...
- willing to communicate the love of Jesus across cultural barriers, with people of other faiths or none?
- passionate about building genuine relationships where you learn from others as well as serve them?
- eager to take a step of faith and face the challenges?
If the answer's yes, or you want to explore these questions further, then get in touch. Use the form on the right or call on 01865 787415 or 01865 787416. |
Step 3. Explore our opportunities
The story of CMS stretches back over 200 years since we began sending people overseas on mission.
Things have changed quite dramatically since those days but we are still passionately committed to our original values of being pioneering, relational, evangelistic and faithful as we seek to share Jesus.
Over our long history we have built up partnerships with hundreds of churches and Christian projects in over 45 countries around the world who ask us to help them by sending Christians from the UK and Europe. All sorts of different skills are being used around the world right now as you read this, here are examples of a few of the people we have placed in the past year...
