Marketplace ministries is about strategically and purposefully using your vocational skills as a Christian to impact the people around you in your work place for the glory of God. While this can be in your home country, our hope at Sent & Sustained is that this would be working in unreached nations.

So picture this…. You’re an IT specialist, a medical professional or perhaps a school teacher. You love what you do and you feel God has called you to your vocation. You don’t feel like you are supposed to stop working and become a traditional missionary. You don’t have to settle working a typical 9-5 job in your home country. What if you take your vocation and choose to work internationally in a nation that has not heard the gospel with the intentional goal of sharing the Good News with those in your work place and adopted community? You already planned to work and hopefully as a christian you want to share the Good News. So why not do it somewhere the need is greatest?

Maybe this sounds out of the realm of possibility, but there are countless people doing just that all over the world right now. Many are following the path of Paul who was a tent-maker as he also followed the call to be a missionary.

Some of these non-traditional missionaries work with major corporations, while others work with small start-ups. If this sounds interesting to you or maybe you have questions, please feel free to contact us. We can get you get connected to marketplace recruiters who will help you navigate the international job market. When you’ve got that job we can help you navigate the complexities of leaving your home nation and starting life in your adopted nation.
