Why We Need a Diverse Missionary Force? - by Kristin Jenson

I am super excited to be in the midst of the 2018 Minority Mobilization Fund (MMF) Pledge Drive!* I love the MMF because it is helping Chi Alpha to wake the sleeping giant--sending out ethnic minorities into the university mission field. We will not be successful in  completing the great commission without EVERYONE's participation! Here are a few reasons why it is so important to have a diverse missionary force--specifically in Chi Alpha in the USA from chialpha.com/mmf.

“Having a diverse missionary team shows the campus that the gospel is for everyone. Diversity opens doors and provides teams a broader voice. It also increases the diversity of gifts within our movement. Culture groups share unique strengths. We need diversity in our staff teams for the same reasons we pursue them in our stock portfolios to protect against potential weaknesses and increase our returns."

Each person is created and uniquely gifted to reach certain people. We need all the gifts of all God's children to reach ALL people.  I am so thankful for our Chi Alpha family that is partnering with the MMF to “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).

*The MMF helps new minority missionaries by awarding Training and Anchor Level Support Grants. Training Grants are awarded to help with one-time costs such as RUI Registration, CMIT fees, and Berean courses. Anchor-Level grants provide fifteen percent of a new missionaries budget.
