We’re excited that the Lord has called some of your members to global missions! This is a new challenge, though: we’re asking the Lord to raise up 1% of PCA members as new missionaries. Please pray with us that He will graciously provide. 

We are asking churches to commit to praying that God would raise up an additional 1% of their members to serve in cross-cultural missions. We have some suggestions for how to do this:

1. Praying that the Holy Spirit would move in the hearts of your members to commit themselves to global missions and the advancement of the gospel.

2. Provide resources and opportunities for your church to focus on global missions. This might be a Perspectives course, a missions emphasis week, praying for missionaries you already support, and talking about the Great Commission from the pulpit and elsewhere.

We at MTW would like to help you and your church with equipping the 1%! Visit this page for resources. We also have a rich catalog of videos showing the impact of MTW work across the globe and other resources. Contact us at [email protected] for more resources.

3. Identify your candidates and pray for them, guide them, and help them on their journey.

4. Celebrate the Lord’s blessing! We’d love to hear your stories: [email protected].

We are issuing this call to the church to commit 1% of their members to missions and with the Lord’s help, get them to the mission field by 2026

No, not at all. We want to challenge churches to send more workers into the fields that are “ripe for harvest,” and there are many ways to get to the field.

We’re encouraging you, the church leadership, to track your own progress since you know the organizations you are serving with. Email us at [email protected] so we can be encouraged at what God is doing in your congregation and help you with resources.

We are encouraging you to count missionaries who will serve 1 year or longer.
