Companions in Mission

We are all called to be missioners,

to share the love and the message of Jesus Christ

to others in a broken and wounded world.

Who are Companions in Mission?

Companions in Mission are our generous donor family who give financial gifts on a regular (usually monthly) basis. Not only does their donation cover the expenses involved in housing, feeding and educating our missioners, they also share a deep bond with their benefactors. The support of our sponsors is not just financial – their prayers and encouragement make them truly a part of our spiritual family.

Our lay missioners are agents of hope who give several years or more of their lives to serve the underprivileged as missioners. Our Companions in Mission make it possible to send them to the far corners of the globe, to spread that hope among people who struggle, wherever we are needed–whether it be nutrition programs, medical attention, training in an assortment of skills, or restorative justice, education, civil and human rights, pastoral ministry or sustainable and economic development.
