A New Vision For Christian Missions: Take the gospel message of Jesus Christ outside the 4 walls of the Church and mobilize every Christian for missions work!
We are currently building a customized Christian missions social network that will be capable of following functions:
Customize Your Profile For Christian Missions
- Enable Christians to create a missions-customized profile that will list your specific professional talents and skills, languages spoken, and Christian gifts which you have to offer to the world.
Search For Mission Fields Where You Are Needed
- A searchable platform that will match Christians skill sets to 1000s of potential international mission fields revealing mission fields whose needs match the skills that you have to offer. Conversely, a system for international mission fields to search out amongst the world-wide Christian labor pool for volunteers to offer their service or financial support to meet their urgent needs.
Search Local and International Maps for Mission Fields To Serve On or Support
- Local and international maps that reveal the locations of mission fields around the world. Search for or create mission fields within your city, state, or country! Keeping security in mind, functions will be created to mask mission fields or missionaries with public or private profiles according to the user's preference.
Easily Organize Missions Teams and Trips
- A platform to easily organize and build missions teams. Track the progress of team members with acquiring passports, travel visas, purchasing airfare, and completing and returning documents for missions trips. The design will allow mission field administrators to establish the number of team members and set mission team travel dates. All standard social network features, such as instant messaging, functions to send and recieve documents, email, and wall posting will be available.
See Where Your Donations Are Going And Give Directly To Support Missions With Transparency
Search amongst 1000s of international mission fields and give your direct financial support. Watch video bios of the mission field team leaders, view urgent mission field needs, watch videos and view pictures of good fruit being grown, and utilize our 'push-button' direct donation system to support Kingdom-building work around the world. Watch your financial support feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, and fill hopeless and darkened hearts with the light, truth, and the hope of a life in Jesus Christ!
Raise Tax-Exempt Support Through Your Church
- A Christian missions organization networking tool to allow Christians to link their membership with their Church or missions organization and raise tax-exempt donations for their missions trips. Utilize social network technology to inform your support network about the mission field that you will support and raise funding through 'push-button' donations, rather than writing letters.
Search A Calendar For 1000s of Missions Trips Year-Round And Plan Your Trip Months In Advance
- A searchable calendar that will list 1000s of missions teams future departure dates. Rather than discovering that your church's mission trip doesn't work with your schedule, plan your mission trip months in advance and join a missions team with international members whose skills are uniquely matched to fulfill specific mission field needs.
Book Travel Arrangements All In One Site
- Purchase airfare, book a hotel or car reservation all on one site! Our site will have an integrated booking platform that will provide discounted airfare through a partnering organization.
Take The First Step Into Full-Time Missions Work By Becoming A Team Leader or Starting A Mission Field
- Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into full-time missions work! Find a need and create a mission field. Once finding a mission field to support on a full-time basis, grow your supporter-base, and utilize a variety of social network tools such as a journal/blog, videos or video blog, pictures, instant messages and updates, and a newsletter that can be posted to your supporters to keep them easily informed.
Disciple Team Missions is a tax-exempt 501 C-3 organization and our purpose is to mobilize every Christian through social network technology to become a 'networked international body' and actively involved in supporting local and world-wide missions.
The vision of our organization is to maintain low-overhead costs by operating through an entirely web-based platform which will require few staff. In turn, good stewardship from having low costs will enable us to financially support a growing number of missions projects world-wide and ensure that donations go where they are needed most - to the mission fields, rather than being tied up in Christian organizational administration costs!
Right Now Disciple Team Missions, Inc. is only but a vision! Please, help make this free resource a reality by giving your tax-exempt donation today!
