Missions

If you are interested in being a missionary, LeTourneau can give you both a biblical foundation and technical skills. Each year, dozens of mission agencies and ministry recruit our students for Christian service during Missions Emphasis Week. Our files show that 260 alumni are missionaries throughout the world, and those are just the ones about which we know.

We recommend that future church planters and evangelists major in Christian Ministry.

If you want to be a missionary pilot, computer programmer, teacher or other support missionary, we recommend majoring in a technical field such as aeronautical science, computer science, education or another major to fit your interest. Then we suggest earning a minor in cross cultural studies and taking a minimum of 15 hours of Bible courses.

There are also several special programs for those interested in combining the technical skills with ministry:

• Mission Aviation
• Sports Ministry
• Ministry Leadership

Those who want to be tentmakers, who serve overseas for the purpose of Christian evangelism but also work part-time or full-time as technical employees in a secular capacity, should major in their technical field of choice. We also recommend they minor in cross cultural studies and take a minimum of 15 hours of Bible courses.
