NAB Gateway

Long-Term (Sister-Church) Partnerships and Short-Term Mission

Gateway exists to equip churches for international partnerships. We are not just about sending teams but preparing churches for effective ministry based on excellent missiology.

Give to Gateway Teams

Coming soon.

We can help with:

Consultations

It could be anything from an email conversation or phone call to scheduling a one-hour online meeting with your leadership team. What questions can we answer for you? What questions do I need to be asking?

Short-Term Missions

We will train you and your team to work in international settings and participate in Kingdom Holistic Gospel projects benefiting the local church or organization.

Sister-Church Partnerships

We will help you develop a Kingdom-building relationship with an international church or ministry.

Training and Coaching

We can equip you for best practices in short-term missions for your team leaders, train your team for a mission trip, and provide orientation in sister-church partnerships. View, and register for, upcoming trainings.

Networking

We have numerous international partners in many countries, both missionaries and national leaders.

Online Project Management

NAB Gateway utilizes an online system for short-term missions that align with MissionExcellence’s Seven Standards of Excellence in Short-Term Mission. Leaders who have taken the Short-Term Missions Leadership Workshop training will be provided this resource. Then a unique project code can be set up for their team, which enables them to track the team’s training, finances, and logistics, all in a secure location.
