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.
