Funding Options
Team Members are missionaries who are fully funded by the IMB, and, as IMB employees, receive full benefits and services. Team Members participate full time in the missionary task and go on mid-term (2-4 year) or long-term (3+ year) assignments.
Team Associates are missionaries who receive funding from non-IMB sources. They are either self funded, which means they provide their own support from things like personal savings or an existing job, or they are ministry funded, which means they are funded from another organization or church. Team Associates can participate full time or part time in the missionary task. Time commitments can be anywhere from 2 months to 3 years.
We are full-time missionaries who are fully funded by the IMB and serving as Team Leaders.
I am a fully-funded missionary, but my primary responsibility is supporting missionary teams as a logistics coordinator.
As a full-time professional, I am able to fully fund my own work towards building relationships and working on discipleship.
