Dedicated to Coaching the Whole Way Through

A unique quality about our mission coaches is their prayerful dedication, encouragement, and commitment to stick with 20's and 30's throughout the entire “seeking” process. Below are two stories that prove our mission coaches’ long-term commitment to those they coach.

Sarah's story - Using her Nursing degree in Togo with Pioneers

Sarah met RightNow two years ago at Passion ’06 (in January). She stayed in close contact with a RightNow mission coach by emailing and talking on the phone every three months while she finished her undergrad in nursing school. Two years later, she remained faithful to God’s calling on her life to full-time medical missions.

This summer, Sarah will spend two months with a medical mission’s opportunity in Togo, Africa with Pioneers to help her determine what God might be calling her to do long-term.

Pioneers mobilizes teams to glorify God among unreached peoples by initiating church-planting movements in partnership with local churches.

Cindy's story - Using her Passions in the World Race with Adventure's in Missions

Cindy always had a desire to serve God overseas. She met RightNow at Passion ’07 (in January). Her coach continued to encourage her to follow her passions to serve God. With this encouragement, she went on a mission trip with her local church that summer.

Over the past year, Cindy stayed in contact with her mission coach, who then connected her to Adventures in Missions’ World Race. She will be leaving October 1, 2008 and will travel to 11 countries in 11 months. She’ll have the opportunity to tap into injustices in each country like feeding the hungry in Mozambique, rescuing orphans in Swaziland, and bringing justice to the sex trade in Asia. She will also have the opportunity to tap into the community to learn about life and discover authentic relationships with her team.

The vision of Adventures in Missions is to produce 10,000 disciple-makers over the next five years.

The World Race is about adventure, ministry, community, self-discovery, and growth. It's more than a mission trip - it's a pilgrimage.
