We believe that God has called all Christians everywhere to involvement in his mission in the world. Each one has a role to play. Through its Personnel and Regional Offices, the Prayer League seeks to help its members to hear that call and to discover their place of maximum participation (Handbook, 71).
What role do you have to play? Here are some questions that may occur to you along the way…
We send Christian people from every walk of life, who know their Lord and desire to make him known: medical, technical, clerical, development workers, disciple-makers, agriculturalists, educators, theologians, and many more. We send them to Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe — and the U.S. and Canada, too.
You can learn about a few recent service opportunities here. There are a few listed just to the left, as well.
Our fellowship is Lutheran by confession and worldview. We do not require that our workers belong to Lutheran churches. We do require, however, that they share with us a Lutheran outlook and identity. Our Lutheran identity is based upon the Word of God and the Augsburg Confession. We want our volunteers to share with us this same identity and confessional foundation.
You can read about it here.
The short answer is no. It is our custom to look to the Lord for his provision, without requiring any specific level of prior support.
We don’t promise a formal “salary” either, however. It is our policy to share what we have by God’s good provision, in order to do what he has given us to do. You can read more about our financial policy here.
If you have more questions than are answered here, you might want to download our Mission Handbook. Have a particular look at the chapter treating Personnel.
And over here we have a few pages online that describe current policies that are not described in the Handbook. We call it WMPL Inside.
You can check out a few recent service opportunities here. You will see that we are praying for people here and there all around the world.
You may also want to submit a service inquiry. Tell us about yourself, your faith, and your sense of God’s direction — even if you don’t see an obvious “fit” in the specific opportunities listed above.
