How to Become a Global Worker
with Christ Fellowship
Inquire - Phase 1
Who should read this?
- Are you interested in serving God full-time on the mission field?
- Do you feel God may be calling you to take the Gospel across cultural and geographic boundaries?
- Are you wondering if God might have a role for you as a global worker through Christ Fellowship’s Church-Based Direct Sending Program?
If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes”, the Inquirer Program at Christ Fellowship may be a good place for you to start.
The purpose of the Inquirer program is to aid folks in the Christ Fellowship Family to prepare for service in global ministries. It is designed to help confirm God’s call to full-time service and to lay the ground work for future ministry.

The Global Ministries Vision at Christ Fellowship
People helping people find and follow Christ, by crossing cultural or linguistic barriers.
Long-term Focus: Invest people and money over long periods of time to see missional breakthroughs. Christ Fellowship has chosen to narrowly focus its resources in strategic areas.
Our conviction is that it is better stewardship to have a rifle-like focus rather than take a shotgun approach to investing in global missions. So, our long-term commitment of money and people goes to two specific areas in
- Asia
- Africa
Short-term Opportunities: A key value at Christ Fellowship is that our members get their hands dirty in cross-cultural ministry. So, we do short-term projects of one to two weeks to further the work of our partners in areas of focus
Christ Fellowship also maintains many short-term trip opportunities outside our main areas of focus.
Local opportunities: As part of our value for getting our hands dirty, we seek to cross cultural and linguistic boundaries in our own hometown.
Two of the opportunities to do this are:
- Teaching English as a Second Language Classes in East McKinney
- Hosting International Students at local universities.
