Missions
From your church to the field
Missionaries are sent, not self-deployed. Louisiana sends them from pulpits, prayer, students, kids, men and women. This page is where your congregation steps into the work.
Why we send
Two mandates, one gospel
Every missionary Louisiana sends answers to one of two national offices, and each one works from its own stated purpose. Here is the vision behind the work, before your church ever gets involved.
AG World Missions
Establishing the Church among all peoples, everywhere
World Missions works through four movements: reaching people who have never heard the name of Jesus, planting churches that stand on their own, training national leaders to carry the work forward, and serving the suffering with the compassion of Christ. At the 2025 General Council the mission set a goal of growing from roughly 2,600 to 4,000 missionaries by 2033, closing the access gap for people groups with little or no gospel witness.

AG U.S. Missions
Seek. Save. Send.
U.S. Missions carries the same call across the ethnic, cultural and needs-based communities inside our own borders. The strategy: seek those who have not yet met Jesus, save them into disciples serving in a local church, and send missionaries who work alongside districts, churches and ministry networks such as Chi Alpha, chaplaincy and Teen Challenge to make it happen.

Get involved
Invite a missionary to your church
Nothing moves a congregation toward the field like a missionary standing in the room. Have one preach, share the work, and meet your people. One email starts it.
World missions
Invite a world missionary
Louisiana units serve from Kenya to the Philippines. When they are stateside on itineration they need Louisiana pulpits, and your church needs their stories. Mo will match a missionary to your calendar.
U.S. missions
Invite a U.S. missionary
Chi Alpha campus workers, chaplains and church planters serve right here at home, and most can reach your church any month of the year. Eric, a career U.S. missionary himself, will connect you with one near you.
The call
Interested in becoming a missionary?
Every name on our roster started with a conversation, not a passport. If you sense God calling you toward world or U.S. missions, the network office will help you take the first step and connect you with the right people for what comes next.
The four offerings
Four offerings, one field
Speed the Light, BGMC, Light for the Lost and Light the Way are not one fund with four names. Each one belongs to a different part of your church, and each one puts something different on the field. Kids, students, men and women all carry a piece of the work.
Speed the Light
Students across Louisiana give so that a missionary can get where the gospel needs to go. The offering buys the vehicles, the boats, the sound gear and the equipment that carry the work the last mile. A student drops in a few dollars here, and something with wheels shows up on a field they will never see. Nationally the offering also fuels efforts like the AGUSM Alaska Initiative, reaching Unreached People Groups inside our own borders, and outfits the disaster response fleet at Convoy of Hope.
- Who gives
- Students and youth groups
- What it buys
- Transportation and equipment
Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge
Kids fill a Buddy Barrel with coins, and those coins meet the needs a missionary cannot budget for: Bibles, food, water, medical care and the emergencies that arrive without warning. It is the smallest offering in the network and it moves first. Nationally, BGMC carries a two-fold purpose: reaching children worldwide with the love of Jesus, and growing a heart of compassion in the kids who give. It has funded missions work every year since 1947.
- Who gives
- Kids and children's ministries
- What it buys
- Missions needs worldwide
Light for the Lost
Men fund the tools of evangelism, so that a missionary never has to choose between preaching the gospel and paying to put it in someone's hands. Printed, translated, and handed across a table in a language the office in Woodworth will never hear. The offering began in 1953 with one businessman's vision of a lost world, and has since put more than $350 million toward printed, audio, video and digital tools for evangelism worldwide.
- Who gives
- Men and men's ministries
- What it buys
- Evangelism materials
Light the Way
AG Women unite around one cause under Light the Way: giving that reaches women and girls facing exploitation, trafficking and abuse. National projects it funds include Project Rescue's work in Asia's red light districts, SaveOne's care for women carrying the pain of abortion, and She Is Europe's outreach to women and girls across the continent. It is women giving so other women can be found, and restored.
- Who gives
- Women and women's ministries
- What it buys
- Care for exploited and vulnerable women
If your church does not yet take part in one of these four, the missions office will help you start it.
Those we send
The offerings have names attached
Nineteen missionary units are on the field right now, sent and supported by Louisiana churches. See who they are, where they serve, and how to stand behind them.
Behind every missionary
No one goes alone
Every Louisiana missionary is carried by a team of churches and people at home. Prayer, presence and support all count, and every church can start somewhere this month.
Pray
Adopt a missionary family by name. Ask the office for current prayer requests from the field.
Go
Short term teams and long term calling both start with a conversation. Reach out to explore a next step.
Give
Monthly support keeps a family on the field. A one time gift meets urgent needs as they come.
