WHO WE ARE
Making Disciples. Multiplying Churches.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20a)
Mission to the World prepares and serves 543 long-term missionaries and 996 short-term missionaries in 100 countries around the world. We are committed to the establishment, growth, and maturity of the church. All that we do flows into, rests within, or flows out of the local church.
For example, establishing a new church might require people who can teach local leaders, or evangelize through sports ministry, or provide a medical clinic. These ways of serving can reach and equip future leaders and build connections in the community. We work with 1,337 national partners to help strengthen this endeavor.
Serving within the church would be church planters, assistant pastors, disciplers, teachers, and others who directly support the growth and maturity of the church.
Flowing out of a healthy, growing church will be ministries that transform the community and continue to draw others to the gospel message, such as teaching English, caring for orphans, art and music outreach, or serving refugees.
We have an urgent and ongoing need for church planters; but even if you’re not an ordained minister, you can serve in church planting in myriad ways—in as many ways as God has gifted you. Find out how.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
MTW is the global missions-sending agency of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Here is a summary of our beliefs.
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. There is one God, eternal and self-existing in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) who are to be equally loved, honored, and adored.
THE FALL
All mankind participated in Adam's fall from his original sinless state and is thus lost in sin and totally helpless.
BAPTISM
Baptism is a sign of God's covenant and is properly administered to children of believers in their infancy as well as to those who come as adults to trust in Christ.
THE PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS
Those sinners whom the Spirit quickens, come to believe in Christ as Savior by the Word of God, are born again, become sons of God, and will persevere to the end.
JUSTIFICATION
Justification is by faith and through it the undeserving sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ.
SALVATION
The goal of God's salvation in the life of the Christian is holiness, good works, and service for the glory of God.
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
The Sovereign God, for no other reason than His own unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen lost sinners from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit and through the atoning death and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.
HEAVEN & HELL
At death the Christian's soul passes immediately into the presence of God and the unbeliever's soul is eternally separated from God unto condemnation.
JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN TO EARTH
Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily, at a time when He is not expected, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
DIVERSITY IN MISSIONS
At MTW, we believe that sending more diverse missionaries better reflects the image of God and helps build more effective ministry as people of color bring their voices and gospel stories to those waiting to hear. If you would like more info about how the MTW Diversifi initiative and RADD (Reformed And Diverse Delegates) can help you in your mission, please contact one of our diversity mobilizers.
