Mission partners...

long-term service

Mission partners are people sent to make a long-term contribution to local mission for a period of at least five to six years.

We are seeking mission partners who share our core values of being: relational, evangelistic, faithful and pioneering.

CMS aims to walk with you as you explore your sense of call to mission. Throughout our selection processes, we will work with you to jointly discover your passion and vocation and how that might fit with our partners’ needs.

“Jesus called the disciples together and gave them 'power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and heal the sick' (Luke 9:1-2).

"Jesus also told them to take nothing with them for the journey. So he knew the right time to send them out. He also sent them out knowing they had to engage their faith for the journey, that all their needs would be met.”

Paul Read, CMS People in Mission funding adviser

What do I pack for the journey?

We believe that funding, learning in preparation for service, and prayer support are joint responsibilities for you and us. We talk early on with you about getting you fully resourced for service:

Prayer

We’ll introduce you to CMS-supporting churches that are keen to pray for you and help you financially, they will want to learn from your mission experience so that they can be more effective in their mission.

Funding

Prospective mission partners are often naturally daunted by the idea of raising support. To set you free from anxiety, our fundraisers will meet you early on to help you find the necessary funds.

Learning

Along the way our learning adviser will help you identify skills you’ll need to develop in preparation for the mission God has called you to. We provide residential training and arrange a variety of study options to meet your needs.
