Encouraged and Grateful

Thank you for your excellent service. We actually ended up finding an opportunity outside of MissionNext/Finishers; however, we were very encouraged by the contacts we made and grateful for the good work you are doing.

Staying on the Mission Field

We felt that God wants us to stay in Okinawa for now. We decided to become more involved with a new international church plant in a nearby city. We have joined one of your partner agencies here for more accountability and support. Thank you again for your help. We will definitely recommend your website to others.

Thank You for Your Assistance in Matching

Thank you for your assistance in matching up with Global Outreach. I could not be any happier. This organization is totally where I belong and look forward to many years of serving God with them.

E Harmony Dot Com for Missionaries

We are full time at Hospital Loma de Luz in Honduras, which we saw on your website. I think you can remove our profile. We tell everyone about MissionNext and Finishers. We call it eharmony.com for missionaries!

Forum to Field

After attending a Finishers Conference my wife and I made contact with several mission agencies re possible short-term ministry. Christar put me in touch with a leader serving in Madrid, Spain with CAM. He graciously arranged a two week trip from Madrid to Malaga with various visits and interaction opportunities with mission agencies reaching the people of Spain the North Africa. It was during our visit at the Malaga Media Center (Avant Ministries) that we began an inquiry for a short-term opportunity as Pastoral Care Provider for missionaries at that location. In July of that year we attended the Avant Candidate Orientation Program and were accepted as appointees for ministry in Malaga. We are now finalizing plans for departure for Spain in the fall of this year. Thanks again for the ministry of Finishers and for the initiatives of those that planned the conference.

A Place for Me

When I first decided to leave my job and looking seriously about serving with a missions organization, I went to the Wycliffe website to learn about opportunities. There I saw an ad for a MissionNext and Finishers Project, which I had not heard of before. I was thrilled to discover mission agencies were specifically targeting people my age and with my skills. At the conference I made my first live contact with several organizations. I learned there couild be a place for me in missions after years in business.

Web Match Feedback

I don't recall where I first heard about the MissionNext web site, but signing on to it was one of the best things I have ever done. Shortly after submitting my information to the web site, I began to receive a wealth of information from a variety of organizations. My wife and I were immediately interested in pursuing volunteer opportunities with Wycliffe and have been wonderfully engaged with them serving the Lord with our time and talent.
Wonderfully Engaged

Web Matched After Two Years

We felt called to missions for a number of years now. Our process started with the web form that we completed on www.missionnext.com about 2 years ago. After your organization put the word out to the mission field that we were interested in a short term mission project (as our first assignment, anyway), responses from the field began to come in. It was narrowed down to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea based on our experience and what they needed done. We finally decided that PNG would be the best thing for our family at this time -- especially since we are more comfortable, as a rule, in the country than a large city (we live on a farm!). The kids are doing great and I'll be happy once we get there (I really don't like to fly!).

Flying Again

Without going into a lot of detail, the Lord lifted us out of our comfort zone and brought us to Mali. First, He did a job on our hearts, giving us a desire to do this. Then He removed all the obstacles to our going, and finally, He prepared the way and provided the means for us to do. God gave us a very special gift, not only in clearly showing that He was leading, but also in giving us the privilege of working for MAF here in Bamako. Never would we have imagined doing this! We are meeting and working with some very special people. We are seeing, experiencing and learning West Africa. I am flying again.
No Longer Comfortable in California

Needed a Boost

MissionNext circulated our name so we received many inquiries from mission boards and were grateful. We knew your vision for connecting potential missionaries with mission boards was a great idea. We chose UWM because they specialize in saturation church planting which we feel is, for many reasons, the best form of evangelism in the world. Already there have been 8 new small churches planted here in or near Bucharest. The multiplication process of saturation church planting can reach the world like no other method. Most of all you just encouraged us and believed that we had a future in missions. We needed that boost. You have a unique and important ministry. Keep up the good work for the Kingdom!

Amazed

We're amazed and encouraged by the response. Thanks so much for being so efficient.

Serving at Missions Headquarters

Thanks in part to our involvement with MissionNext, my wife and I are now serving in the International Division of a Mission Agency based in CA. We thank God every day for the blessing of His direction. In just 8 months He has taken us to South Africa, Ghana, El Salvador and Cuba! Thanks, for answering God's call to serve people like us so that God's Kingdom would be increased.
Len and Jan, CA

I Found it!

I have applied with a mission organization. MissionNext is a very worthwhile group. You are providing a way to find opportunities without having to spend hours searching on the Internet. I have recommended your group to friends.

Helpful and Encouraging

I have found a mission organization which I am interested in and plan to be a volunteer there the summer of 2005. Everyone with whom I have had contact or talked with has been very helpful and encouraging. Thank you.
