Opportunities to Serve with CRWM

Do you feel a call to missions?  Serve with Christian Reformed World Missions!  From a summer to a year to a career, there are many ways for you to get involved around the world.  Our opportunities fall under these broad categories: 

Career
We offer long-term positions in areas such as leadership training and development, evangelism and church planting, regional networking centers, theological education, and much more.  Career missionaries are employees of CRWM and raise support to cover some of the costs involved with serving overseas. Learn more about our current career openings.

Associate
An associate position is usually a one- or two-year position in a support role for career missionaries and their national ministry partners (for example, a tutor for missionary kids).  An associate is an employee of CRWM and raises support to cover some of the costs involved with serving overseas, just like a career missionary does.  Find associate opportunities on our current career openings page.

Partner
Partner missionaries are employees of schools and organizations that have partnership relationships with CRWM.   They are most often teachers.  We provide various kinds of support for partners, depending on their employing organizations.  Learn more about teaching opportunities with CRWM.

Volunteer
Volunteer opportunities with our missionaries and their national ministry partners offer a great way for you to experience cross-cultural missions on a short-term basis.  If you have a few weeks or a few months, these opportunities help you learn from Christians around the world and offer you a way to use your gifts.  Most volunteer opportunities require you to raise support to cover all of your ministry-related costs.  Learn more about our current volunteer openings.
  
Letter of Endorsement
Members of the Christian Reformed Church (CRCNA) are eligible to apply for a letter of endorsement from CRWM. The purpose for granting these letters is to have a mechanism for recognizing and recommending to others the valuable ministries of CRCNA people who are serving as missionaries with other organizations. This letter can be helpful to those interested in pursuing support from CRCNA congregations.  Learn more about applying for a letter of endorsement.

Please note: As a denominational agency of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA), we are ordinarily only able to appoint members of the CRCNA to our long-term positions.  Though short-term missionaries are also usually members of the CRCNA, there are occasions when people who are not members of the CRCNA can be appointed.
