Are you willing to develop your own financial and prayer support network?

Unless otherwise noted, all of World Concern's overseas positions require people to raise 100% of their finances. Sources might include the candidates church, family, friends, and colleagues. In raising your own financial support, you also build an important network of people who support you through prayer, encouragement and regular communication while you serve overseas. World Concern has staff dedicated to helping you with this important task. We are only able to accept donations from inside North America, therefore anyone wishing to work from outside North America must come through a sending agency in their home country.

Are you willing to serve internationally for a minimum of 2-3 years?

World Concern is committed to building long-lasting, positive relationships in the areas where we work. Candidates often spend the first six months to a year in language school. There they learn about the new culture in which they'll be living and how to communicate effectively. That's one reason why we ask fieldworkers to make a minimum commitment of two to three years. Many members of our field staff choose to serve much longer.
