A strong mission assignment begins before you leave. Through independent crosscultural support, we help you prepare personally, relationally, culturally, practically and spiritually for living and working in another culture. This gives you a strong foundation from which to follow your calling with health, resilience and confidence.
Discover step by step where God is calling you
Do you sense that God is calling you to something, but are not yet sure what that is or what it might look like? Perhaps you have a desire to make a difference through mission or crosscultural work, but the direction is not yet clear. The Mission Journey is designed for this season of exploration and discernment. Through a series of personal conversations, we take time to explore together what is on your heart. We listen to your story, think things through with you, and reflect on your calling, gifts, desires and life circumstances. Together, we explore the possibilities and seek to discern the path God is leading you on. Step by step, a clearer vision for mission begins to take shape, giving you confidence to take the next step.
Good preparation lays the foundation for a healthy mission assignment
Are you preparing to serve abroad and want to be well equipped for living and working in another culture? Then Prepare4Mission is for you. Through approximately ten personal sessions, we guide you step by step as you prepare for your mission assignment. Together, we reflect on who you are, what your calling means, and what it takes to live and work in a healthy way within another cultural context.
We explore personal, relational, spiritual, practical and intercultural themes that are important for good preparation. As part of the programme, we also use the books Equipped for Mission and Foreign to Familiar.
Personal support, wherever in the world you may be
Are you currently serving abroad and would you value having someone alongside you to reflect and think things through with? A Journey on Mission offers personal support throughout your time on the field, tailored to your situation and the season you are in.
Whether you choose ongoing support or guidance around a specific question or challenge, we are here to walk alongside you for part of your journey. In this way, we help you continue to live and work in another culture with health, resilience and confidence
Preparing for mission together as a family
Are you preparing to serve abroad as a family? Then Family2Mission is for you. This preparation programme helps your whole family get ready for living and working in another culture, with attention to both parents and children. Together, we explore what the mission assignment means for each family member and how you can prepare well as a family for this new season. The programme can begin before departure and, if desired, continue while you are on the field. In addition, we work together with several organisations on Family2Mission. On the Journey as a Family, a series of online preparation workshops for families getting ready to serve abroad.
Building a Home Support Team that makes a difference together
Are you part of a home support team, or are you looking to set one up? A committed and well-equipped home support team can be invaluable to mission workers and their families. InToMission provides training, equipping and ongoing support for home support teams. We help you think through roles, responsibilities, expectations, communication within the team, and how you can support mission workers in a consistent and sustainable way.
Together, we build a strong home support network that cares, thinks alongside, prays for and carries mission workers and their families throughout preparation, their time on the field and re-entry.
Discover where you are now and where you can grow
Would you like to gain a deeper understanding of who you are, where your strengths lie and where there is room for growth? The Opstap Assessment helps you identify your talents, strengths and areas for development.
We recommend the assessment as part of our Prepare4Mission and A Journey in Mission programmes. It can also provide valuable insights if you have already been serving abroad for some time, giving you an opportunity to reflect on your personal and intercultural development.
In this way, you build a strong foundation for healthy and sustainable service at every stage of your mission journey. If you want to know more: www.opstap-assessment.nl
