We are a service of Missio Nexus.
AskaMissionary.com exists to help prospective missionaries along on their journey to long-term mission service.
Aspiring missionaries search or browse questions and answers that have already been published. Some send in their own questions and receive answers from our staff and volunteers. Missionaries, mission leaders, and mobilizers also contribute answers and use the site to help and encourage the prospective missionaries with whom they work. The most helpful questions and answers are published on our website.
