Summer Missionary Assistance Program (SMAP)
Our Summer Missionary Assistance Program makes it possible for you to invite friends and family to partner with you in your ministry. These people commit to pray for you, support the work financially, and encourage you through the summer. You are not serving alone…it is your entire support team, partnering with you, to see what God will do.
Check out our comprehensive SMAP Guide to find out how it works, who qualifies, how to apply, and to search frequently asked questions.
