We are especially interested in developing relationships with congregations that share our concern for reaching lost people and involving those already found. Congregations can work with LCMS World Mission in several ways.
Some congregations are ready to get involved in an even deeper way.
Often these congregations will focus their efforts on a particular city, country, or people group, supporting mission work there through prayer, finances, volunteer service, and missionary recruitment. Others focus on a particular kind of mission service, such as medical work, volunteer service, or helping college and graduate students who wish to serve as missionaries. If your congregation is interested in this deeper kind of partnership, we encourage you to find several other like-minded LCMS congregations and work together to form a mission society. The mission involvement staff at LCMS World Mission will be happy to offer counsel as you seek to do this. The new society can then develop a formal partnership with LCMS World Mission.
