Missionaries are typically young men and women who serve for up to 24 months by their own choice. They are not paid; in fact, most pay their own expenses.

As with many people, they serve because of their love for God and their desire to help others.

They spend their time teaching interested people about Jesus Christ and how following Him brings happiness and peace.

They do not sell anything and will not ask you for any money.
