Reality of Missions
Feeling overwhelmed with the number of missionaries contacting you? Missions21 can help with that! Missions21 was designed to help bridge the connection gap between pastors and missionaries. Pastors and churches receive every week packet after packet of information about missionaries needing to raise support.
Church secretaries and pastors can sometimes feel bombarded with the number of phone calls or “drop-ins” to a church service. Missionaries are trying to connect, and pastors seem to never have enough time to adequately answer and review each missionary family that contacts them.
Missions21 is a “one-stop” place where pastors and missions committee members can review, contact, and connect with missionaries who fit their missions program at the perfect time that works with their schedules!
Filtering and Finding the Right Missionary
On Missions21 the Missionary Finder can precisely narrow down the type of missionary you’re looking for your upcoming missions conference or Missions Sunday. For example, if you wanted to find a missionary from a particular mission board who is on deputation to go to Africa, you can easily filter your choices to find the exact missionary you need.
Say that you are looking for a medical missionary or a veteran who has been on the field and is returning for furlough; you can find the perfect fit for who you want by filtering on Missions21.
Second, there is the missionaries’ Questionnaire. Instead of personally questioning a missionary about their doctrine and ensuring they adhere to the correct biblical fundamentals, or sending out a questionnaire yourself, you can review a missionary’s completed questionnaire on the site.
It has everything from their personal background information to their doctrinal beliefs, all in one place for a pastor to review.
Conclusion
Pastors want to see missionaries reach the field and stay there to complete the burden God placed on their hearts. Most of their packets end up unfortunately thrown away or filed by the church for later consideration.
The overwhelming amount of time and money sending packets and calling pastors is part of the missionary journey, but Missions21 wants to help lessen the stress and time missionaries are raising support by connecting them with pastors and churches looking to get them to the field faster than ever before.
