Mission Link International desires to encourage and support national missionaries worldwide. Your assistance is important. Through your gifts, we will be able to train and empower indigenous (national) missionaries. There are still places in the world that are closed to mission activity. By supporting indigenous (national) missionaries, unreached areas have a chance of hearing the Gospel. Though there remains a tremendous need for western missionaries, our goal is to support Christian ministries already established in foreign lands.
