CLC Ministries, Intl

Not Just a Job — a Ministry

We are looking to fill all of the following positions with missionaries, rather than paid employees, meaning you would raise your own financial support. We would train you and work with you to help you accomplish this goal. At CLC we take a low-key approach to fundraising, working to inform people about the ministry and then giving them the opportunity to partner with us if they believe the Lord would have them do so.

Raising support may seem like a rather daunting prospect to some people, but we've found that many are surprised to discover how graciously the Lord provides for those He calls into missionary service!
