Learn About Missions Agencies

Missionaries rarely travel to the field independently. They connect with a sending agency that helps them prepare and supports them while they are on the mission field.

When looking for a mission agency, start by finding out if your church has a mission board. Your pastor or elder should know. They may also make additional recommendations of sending agencies with which they are familiar.

Additionally, take a look at the listing at Urbana's website. They are organized according to the type of ministry each agency does. Visit the various agencies' websites, read the information available, watch the videos, fill in the online forms to request more information.

While exploring agencies, consider the type of job opportunities, the support they offer, and where in the world they send missionaries. Continue to pray about which organization to connect with as your sending agency.
