Discover the Road to the Field with Frontiers

Frontiers will help coach you along your journey to the field. We have developed a process that will deepen your walk with God and highlight your strengths and growth areas in relation to the rigors of cross-cultural life. Here are the stages of the process for potential Team Leaders and Team Members.

Complete The Journey — It all starts here. Fill out The Journey and we can talk about how you and your family could bless Muslims with the good news of Jesus. At this level, neither you nor we have made any commitments. If you want to lead a team, the Bible says it is a fine work you desire. Let us know, and we will help you.

1. Applicant— After your senders (usually your church or other stateside ministry group) and Frontiers recognize your potential for service to Muslims overseas, you complete an application and provide references. If you are married, it is required that both complete the application. At this time, you can apply also to become a Team Leader with our International Office.

2. Candidate — After a positive review of your application and references, you (with your spouse or family, if applicable) will be invited to participate in Frontiers' Candidate School.

3. Appointee — You become an appointee when:

1. You have successfully completed Candidate School and received an endorsement from your sending body.
2. Team Leader: You are approved as a Team Leader (by our International Office) to lead your own team to the field.
3. Team Member: You are invited to join a team and sign the team's MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) and complete any additional team–specific requirements. You become a member of Frontiers only when you sign an MOU or are appointed as a Team Leader. Once you are an Appointee, you begin developing your ministry partner team for prayer and financial support.

4. New Frontiers Worker — Move overseas with your new team or join an existing team on the field. Begin intensive cultural adaptation and language learning—begin a full-time life of serving, respecting and loving Muslims in Jesus' name.

What Is Candidate School?

Two weeks of training and orientation with Frontiers that covers the following necessities:

Frontiers brings a vast network of devoted believers and resources to live out your calling after God has stirred you to “Preach where Christ has not been named.” Romans 15:20

As you embark upon your ground-breaking trek, we will introduce you to a support staff of believers who can answer questions in the early stages of your Journey. We will give you coaching by a field preparation coach as you advance to help you determine your proper timing and placement in the Muslim world for the sake of the Kingdom.

However, our commitment to you will not end there. We will recommend optional resources for your journey while giving you additional undergirding through Candidate School, an exclusive training website, hands-on internships, cultural adaptation and language acquisition.
