Christar U.S.

As an international organization, Christar has mobilization centers around the world that partner with local churches in their regions. As part of this global network, Christar U.S. provides structure and strategy that support churches in the United States in sending workers who establish churches among the least-reached. This includes:

Structure

• A proven framework for sending workers internationally
• Customized pre-field training and coaching
• Financial and IT services
• Administration of benefits and human resources services
• Team-based field structure that enables workers to serve effectively and in community

Strategy

• A framework that encourages creativity and innovation to reach people who would otherwise be cut off from the gospel

Support

• Coaching and encouragement
• Ongoing training and opportunities for leadership development
• Member care that invests in workers’ physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well-being
