You’ve seen enough to grasp the need for taking Jesus to the nations. You can even picture yourself overseas, learning to make disciples while being immersed in a new culture. But before you can make an impact on a people group God loves, you need a way to get there. We can help!
Like you, Navigators don’t work in isolation. We collaborate with multicultural leaders across our Navigators Worldwide Partnership, advancing the gospel together into more than 125 countries. We also field a top-notch team of care partners to help individuals and families thrive overseas.
Can you see yourself on a long-term mission team, crossing boundaries to bring the Good News to a people group who needs it?
We know that God made you unique and wants you to use your gifts for His glory. As you align yourself for potential ministry among the nations, we can assist you in maximizing your impact overseas. Talk to us, and we can help you find a missions pathway that utilizes your God-given experiences, gifts, and abilities.
Join a team on a campus overseas and work with a team to disciple generations of students who can in turn influence others. Many universities are home to the best and brightest of their countries. When university students find their lives transformed by following Jesus, they in turn can go on to impact fellow students, family networks, friends, workplaces, and even nations.
Employ your gifts and training to support a missional business or use your entrepreneurial skills to start a new Kingdom-minded enterprise. You can call it missional enterprise, business as mission, or missional business— regardless, it unleashes the transforming power of the gospel. Whether with entrepreneurial readiness training or support in the field, we encourage business builders in their pursuit of a triple bottom line: Make money, make disciples, make a difference.
Serve alongside other disciplemakers and build relationships using your existing profession of engineering, medicine, or other professional background. We can help catalyze your development by blending your career training with your heart for disciplemaking, preparing you for ministry among your coworkers overseas. We’d love to see you join a group of disciplemakers wherever your work and vision take you.
Instead of just doing things for people mired in poverty, work with them to help them experience individual and community transformation. Whole-life discipleship can help people in community find a new identity in Christ, a restored, active relationship with God, healthier bonds with family and friends, and godly stewardship of resources leading to better living conditions and economic hope. Join us in discipling people, developing communities, and transforming lives. Discipling for Development training in the U.S. can help you work out this holistic approach to disciplemaking in both understanding and practical experience.
Contribute to developing people, especially among under-resourced communities, using your educational training and experience. If you’re a certified educator at any level from pre-K to university professor, you can work strategically in advancing Jesus’ Kingdom in countries where they need to know about Him. Explore the possibilities through a missional education seminar, a short-term trip, or picking the brains of our educational specialists — and find your best fit.
Ready for your first steps? We’d love to hear from you.
