You don’t need a passport to get involved in missions from home. No matter where you live, you can play a vital role in global missions and help reach people who have never heard the Gospel. From praying strategically and giving intentionally to building cross-cultural friendships in your own community, there are countless ways to support global missions without ever leaving home. Your involvement—right where you are—can make an eternal impact.

You can play a vital role in global missions without ever boarding a plane. Here are five meaningful ways to get involved in global missions from home:

1. Pray Strategically

“Prayer is the mighty engine that is to move the missionary work.” – A.T. Pierson 

• Adopt a people group using resources like Joshua Project or Operation World. 

• Pray for specific missionaries, unreached groups, or regions affected by persecution. 

• Join or start a missions-focused prayer group at your church or online. 

 2. Give Generously and Intentionally

• Support a missionary or mission agency financially (even small, regular gifts make a difference). 

• Give toward Bible translation, audio Bibles, or evangelism materials for unreached tribes. 

• Sponsor short-term mission team members, or fund practical needs like water wells or medical clinics in unreached areas. 

3. Mobilize and Advocate

• Host a mission night at your church or small group to raise awareness about the unreached. 

• Share mission updates, testimonies, and needs on social media or in church newsletters. 

• Encourage young people, retirees, and professionals to consider serving—be a missions mobilizer. 

4. Engage in Cross-Cultural Friendship Locally

• Build relationships with refugees, international students, or immigrants in your community. 

• Partner with local ministries that serve diaspora communities—many of whom come from unreached nations. 

• Practice hospitality: invite international friends for meals and share the love of Christ through your life. 

5. Support Mission Work with Your Skills

• Use professional or creative skills (writing, video editing, graphic design, tech support, admin) to help missions organizations remotely. 

• Offer language help, ESL tutoring, or online Bible teaching to missionaries or seekers. 

• Volunteer with organizations like: 

• • Wycliffe Bible Translators (remote support roles) 

• • Voice of the Martyrs 

• • Mission aviation or logistics orgs needing back-office help 

Global missions isn’t limited to those who can travel overseas—it’s a calling for every believer. By choosing to pray, give, advocate, connect cross-culturally, or use your unique skills, you can help advance the Gospel to the ends of the earth without leaving your home. Ask God how He might use you today, and take your next step in supporting global missions from where you are.
