This is always a hard one to answer. We can’t say you should join, but we can give you reasons to consider it. You should consider joining MDE if you:
Believe God has called you to work full-time in the marketplace (and be missional while doing so). If God has called you to full-time church planting and you want to be involved in the marketplace “on the side,” we are not the organization for you. There are many “traditional” missions agencies we would recommend. We are designed to partner with believers who want to work in a “secular” environment.
Want to be missional in the workplace and understand that you need others who are missional to walk with as you in order to be successful.
Understand the services and support MDE provides and understand how they will help you in your vocational and missional calling.
Want to be held accountable for developing and achieving missional goals. We’re fairly flexible and don’t have too many requirements, but this is one of them. We are not a club, and so we require our members to be missional and to be willing to be held accountable in this regard.
Desire to be part of a growing community of Christians seeking to make disciples through the relationships that flow naturally from participating in the marketplace of unreached communities.
