Roles: Missionaries are committed to building relationships with inner-city residents in order to develop indigenous leaders for the urban church.
Income and Benefits: World Impact missionaries receive monthly income, housing, health insurance, retirement contributions, and reimbursements for utilities and vehicle costs. The income structure is based upon family size.
Housing: As an incarnational ministry, our missionaries have the opportunity to interact, befriend, and learn from inner-city neighbors while also living in community with other missionaries. Missionaries live in homes or apartments provided by World Impact at a camp or inner-city location. Single staff members live together with other missionaries of the same gender while married couples have their own residence.
Financial Support Raising: Prior to ministering with World Impact, missionaries develop a list of individuals and churches to support them financially and in prayer. One-hundred percent of each designated contribution is placed in the missionary’s account to cover income and benefits.
Applying as a Missionary with World Impact: Missionary candidates require a written application, school transcripts and written references (husbands and wives both complete an application). Following a review process, approved applicants are invited for our tri-annual Candidate Assessment Program, an on-site, one-week interview and orientation process. If accepted, a support-raising letter is mailed to potential supporters. This sequence can typically take one to five months

Missionary FAQ
What do you require of missionary applicants?
1. You must be at least 21 years old.
2. You must believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and be active in a local church.
3. You must be committed to obeying the Bible as your standard for living.
Do I need a college degree or other specific skills?
Our desire is to enable our missionaries to use their skills and gifts to the fullest as they work to build the Kingdom of God. As such, we are more concerned with your character (the fruit of the Spirit) than with your degrees, skills or credentials. A college degree is not necessarily required.
However, it is essential that all missionaries have the biblical knowledge and the spiritual gifts required for their particular role. We welcome applicants who have specialized training in fields related to Bible, missions, and ministry. In some specialized ministry roles, such as teachers in our schools or physicians in our medical ministry, a particular educational background is required.
What training do you provide for your missionaries?
During their first year, missionaries complete a "Missionary Orientation and Training Course." This is followed by on-going training tailored to your role in ministry (using a module-based curriculum), held at your ministry location. This training is provided individually, in small groups and in large groups. Periodically, there are regional and national training events that are scheduled as needed.
How am I assigned to a World Impact ministry site?
We weigh various factors in determining placement including our strategic needs in various locations, your stated placement preference, current team dynamics and available housing.
What if I cannot raise enough financial support?
Our missionaries receive a income, health insurance and retirement benefits. Incoming missionaries often receive assistance or resources to help them raise the support they need before they come. If God calls you, He will provide the resources – maybe through people you do not know.
