A word or two about the process of
applying for an overseas posting:
Considering a career with MAF isn't like changing jobs
here in Canada.
The very nature of our work, and
the places where we minister, require that all our candidates be
qualified and up to the task. As a result, the process involved in
applying with MAF as a career missionary can be a long one, so
patience is a must.
But if you're serious about joining, this
is a good place to start.
First, please take a moment to read our
minimum standards and requirements for overseas service found to the
right. This list is by no means comprehensive, but is designed to help you
recognize if a career with MAF is right for you.
If MAF is still where you want to be, let us know of your area of
interest and qualifications, by completing a simple introductory questionnaire that
gives us a chance to get to know you.
