About us
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod sends missionaries to the ends of the earth. They come from all walks of life. They are school teachers, office workers, doctors, and truck drivers. They are fresh out of college and newly retired; students and stay at home moms; pastors and people who work with their hands for a living. They serve for a week or two with a team or they spend years immersed in a culture. They touch lives with the Good News of God’s great love for all people. They share this in words, in actions and in the relationships they build.
God calls each of us to join Him in the work He is doing at home and all over the world. Is He calling you to step out in faith? Take a moment to look at the different possibilities of service. Browse through the opportunity database. Where is God leading you?
