Introducing

Choosing a mission field is a challenging endeavor. It's hard to narrow down the options. Folks have asked us what made us choose New England over other places. Here's how the field looks in New Hampshire:

<15

Congregations of the Lord's church in the state

Average number of members in most congregations

Congregations with elderships

Congregations with appx. 100 members

The northeast is, in every sense, a mission field.

New England is statistically the LEAST religious section of the USA.

If you're interested in domestic missions, we invite you to consider the challenging yet rewarding work right here in America's own backyard.

Workers who are committed for the long-haul are essential, and not just in the pulpit!

Insights

Moving from the mid-west to the northeast has challenged our understanding of what effective evangelism looks like in different places.

Culture doesn't change the gospel, but it can impact the effectiveness of different approaches.

For example, people in New England want to be approached in a way that is drastically different from other parts of the country. So our evangelism efforts have evolved to take this into account. We learned to take the Yankee mindset into consideration and adjust accordingly.

Being outsiders meant we had the opportunity to assess the need here with fresh eyes before jumping in haphazardly with some one-size-fits-all method.

Here's what we found.

Our Goal

What we're hoping to build is a sort of roadmap to give future workers coming to the area an idea of what to expect and some insights into the needs here.

Many have come into the area thinking, "I know what these people need." The results are usually somewhat devastating, because in truth they don't. What this area needs are people who first observe what is needed, and then get to work without the need for pomp and ceremony.

Whether you're a preaching student ready for your first work or a seasoned missionary with lots of experience, if you're considering New England as a potential location for your next work, we want to give you an introduction to this incredible - and often difficult - mission work.
