About Us
Our mission
Our mission is to provide comprehensive support for missionaries, enabling them to continue spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to their field. We do this through offering financial services, partner networks, Benefits and much more.
For us, it's about the Great Commission, and we believe in the full support of missionaries to make this happen.
Core values
- Individuals. We believe each calling is equally valuable and is worth giving resources, time and energy towards.
- Unity. MSS is not just a place to receive tax deductible giving, it is a network of partners and missionaries alike.
- Simplicity. Over complication can lead to stagnation. We believe in the importance of simplicity.
- Transparency. Ask us anything!
- Going! Supporting missionaries is not enough for us. Whether it be with our clients or on our own, we strive to be in the field seeing people reached.
Our History
Where it all started
2008. What a year. The idea for MSS had been discussed for over a year now. Our teams firsthand experience in missions is what led them to realize the need for a service which will support missionaries from the States. This personal realization, plus the fact that finances is one of the main reasons missionaries leave the field were enough to devote years to solve.
At first, we had a single client. All around us we saw there was a need for services like ours, so it was not difficult to grow quickly. Within a few years we were onboarding multiple clients a month. It is difficult to find a support company who will take on non-sponsored missionaries. But we could do this and were offering services other companies didn't.
Our team grew and so did our client base. Pretty quick we saw a small dilemma: Taking on more clients would lead to more employees, which ultimately would lead to taking away from our clients. We were determined not to let this happen.
Come 2020 MSS was seeing regular growth and had a consistent staff team. Our team has always been remote, and during the years following 2020 the opportunity for innovation in the remote workspace were limitless.
Today we still maintain a remote workforce without a physical location. This keeps our costs down so we can prioritize our clients. We no longer process checks from our living rooms, we have innovated this area. Our team has stayed small but mighty. During the past 17 years we have grown, shrunk, and maintained our primary vision: partnering with missionaries callings and enabling them to keep going strong.
