What could happen if every PCA church committed to send an additional 1% of their members to missions?
We're thankful that the PCA is a missions-sending denomination. We're already doing it! But what if we sent more? 1% more? How many global communities could be renewed by the transformative power of the gospel? How many unreached people groups would hear the gospel? How many new churches would be started, and fledgling churches supported?

We Live in a Time of Disruption.
A global pandemic. Threats of war. Natural disasters. More refugees than ever before.
This is also a time of divine disruption. People's worlds are shaken. Those fleeing war are pouring into other countries.
And hearts are opening in ways this generation has not seen.
The gospel work isn't finished.
300,000
PCA Communicant Membersx 1%
= 3,000
New MissionariesWe asked MTW’s field leadership to imagine what they could do with an additional 1% of missionaries. Recognizing that not all of the 1% will serve through MTW, our missionaries came up with a God-sized goal to plant 486 new churches, including churches in 192 new cities and 63 new countries!
GOD CAN DO THIS!
If God prompted every PCA church to send another 1% of its members, we could commission 3,000 new missionaries across the globe!
PRAY FOR 1%
God works through the prayers of His people:
"Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." — John 14:13
Pray that God would bring your church members forward to be part of the 1%. We are ready to help with questions and guide next steps. Email [email protected] or register your commitment and receive a helpful starter packet.

FAQS
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.

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.
