Are you ready to be challenged? Serving in West Africa will give you the opportunity to be stretched beyond your comfort zone in many ways. Work alongside long-term workers to build relationships and be a witness for Christ in a Muslim-majority country. There are opportunities for working with children and youth, women’s ministry, teaching ESL, leading community development classes or initiatives, and physical work projects. If you are looking to expand your worldview and learn to rely on God in deeper ways, we’d love to have you serve in West Africa!
Germany
Come live in a city that is both rich in history and welcoming new people from around the world. Serve alongside long-term workers in the discipleship of new believers from unreached and restricted nations. The community of Soli Deo Church is made up of believers from Western and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Be a part of the community and serve with the young people, help with English learning, and experience the move of God that is transforming people’s lives.
Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is home to kind and friendly people — many of whom have never heard the name of Jesus before. Come and serve alongside long-term workers and help make God’s glory known. You’ll be in the midst of a growing movement that is sharing their faith and serving those in need while learning the language, culture, and customs of the local community. Step out in faith and see how God meets you in this incredible part of the world.
Grow closer to God and serve Him in the nations. Get practical exposure to the world of missions by working side by side with experienced EMM missionaries. Jump in and learn how while gaining valuable discipleship training skills with a team of mission-oriented young adults!

FAQ
What does the outreach look like?
December through May will be spent with other team members serving in a ministry location with the leadership of long term EMM workers. Outreach opportunities may involve children’s ministry, tutoring English language learners, working with immigrants and refugees, one-on-one discipleship, engaging with unreached people groups who are hearing the Gospel for the first time, and/or small group ministry with new believers. Specific outreach(es) will be arranged based on each individual’s interests, gifting, and availability.
