Is God Calling You to a Missionary Job?

Everything has led up to this. God has a special call on your life and everything about your journey has prepared you thus far–your trials, your jobs, your struggles, and your experience–all weaved together by a loving God, preparing you to reach the next generation with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Why Be a Missionary with International Project?

Ever wondered about missionary jobs near me? 

Imagine yourself at the heart of church plants among communities that have never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ.

At International Project, you’ll get to focus your passion on diaspora Unreached People Groups (UPGs). Why? Because you believe, as we do, that all peoples deserve the chance to hear and accept the Gospel.

You see the strategy in action: God has strategically brought people from across the globe—UPGs who had limited access to Christ in their homelands—right to your doorstep in cities across North America and Europe. You can reach them now, through community outreach and vital international student ministry.

We see the great things God is doing in the world, and we know He is working in your life. We would be honored to partner with you!

Christian Missionary Jobs FAQs

What Is the Core Job of a Missionary with International Project?

The core purpose is to carry out the Great Commission by sharing the Gospel across cultures. We focus specifically on making disciples of all nations, baptizing new believers, and teaching them to obey Jesus’ commands. Our ultimate goal is to plant churches through indigenous leadership among diaspora Unreached People Groups (UPGs).

What Are Unreached People Groups (UPGs), and Why Focus on Them?

We consider a people group unreached when less than 2% of the population actively follows Jesus, with limited or no access to the Gospel. We focus on diaspora UPGs who have migrated to North America and Europe. This is strategic because they have the freedom to hear the Gospel and can then return to their homelands as believers to spread the Gospel.

What Does a Missionary Do for Ministry on a Daily Basis?

Your key daily ministry tasks could include (but are not limited to):

  • Maintaining a strong prayer life and worship rhythms 
  • Facilitating Discovery Bible Studies (DBS) to disciple pre and new believers
  • Participating in a house church 
  • Connecting with ministry partners 
  • Executing outreach initiatives (depending on your team’s emphases)
    • Conversation groups
    • Cultural learning activities for international students and adults
    • Community centers
    • Classes on how to obtain visas
    • Sewing and knitting classes
    • English and Italian classes
    • A thrift store

What Is the Typical Length of Service for a Missionary Job?

While short term trips are available, our full time missionary jobs are long term commitments. This timeframe is essential for cultural learning and establishing sustainable, multiplying churches.

Many of our workers stay for years, some decades. Our hope is that our missionaries have longevity and a flourishing ministry. 

What Are the General Qualifications or Required Education?

The most important qualification is a clear calling from God for cross cultural ministry and a passion for evangelism. 

Many missionaries go through our Equip Missionary Training Program where we prepare you for the mission field. While theology degrees are helpful, they are not required. 

Do I Need to Raise My Own Support?

Yes and we will help you as you raise your funds so it’s a paid missionary job! You’ll recruit your local church and other partners. Once you raise your needed support, we will process the funds and take care of the operations details.   

What Is a Typical Day Like?

There is no typical day. Our ministry is very relational and self initiated. This means there is no program schedule that everybody follows daily together. We will not set your schedule or tell you who to meet with or when.  We expect you to be self motivated and able to initiate and maintain your schedule. However, we do have expectations for the number of internationals that you engage with weekly. 

You will develop a strategic plan for how to reach a specific Unreached People Group community day in and day out.  You’ll spend significant time in a particular neighborhood and develop a plan to implement to reach this community. 

In addition to this, you will also be part of a house church community within our network of house churches. This is where you will worship and fellowship. These house churches meet at various times throughout the week, not just on Sundays. 

You will meet with your team at least weekly and have team interactions within your house church(es) and throughout the week as you initiate and develop relationships.

Your Path to the Mission Field

Do you want to make disciples and plant churches through diaspora Unreached People Groups? Are you a self starter longing to develop a ministry with the support of an established organization behind you?

Why International Project?


Of all the missions organizations you could go with, International Project will support you with hands on missionary training, experienced coaching, and a clear path to engage unreached people groups.

You’ll be equipped in real life ministry contexts—right here in NYC—so you can confidently step into long term global missions.
