Worldwide Missions Opportunities
The following list presents the Navigator cross-cultural missions priorities —by region—as developed by the International Executive Team and Regional Directors of The Navigators. For purposes of security, some country names have been omitted.
If you would like to know more about any of the opportunities to serve below, contact us at worldwide@navigators.org.
Africa
Benin
Benin is a West African nation bordered by Togo, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Niger, with most of its population located along the southern coast. Cotonou remains the country’s administrative and economic centre, even though Porto-Novo is the official capital.
Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions, yet Vodun (Vodoo) remains deeply embedded in the cultural identity of the nation. This spiritual landscape makes Benin one of the more challenging and unreached contexts for sustained disciplemaking.
French is the official language, and common indigenous languages include Fon, Bariba, Yoruba and Dendi. Beninois students currently being discipled in Niger have expressed interest in remaining connected to the Navigators movement when they return home. There are also emerging people of peace connected to Navigators in Togo.
Mission Needs for 2026
Two French-speaking missionary couples to pioneer ministry.
Establish foundational discipleship among students and young adults.
Strengthen relational pathways through people of peace and returning student-disciples.
Central African Republic (CAR)
The Central African Republic (CAR) remains a fragile context marked by political, ethnic and religious tensions. Christianity represents the majority of the population, with Islam forming a significant minority. The conflict beginning in 2012 has deeply shaped relationships and daily life.
The official language – French and Songo – provide access for Francophone African missionaries. CAR has existing disciples who maintain relational ties with Navigators in neighboring countries.
A key Cameroonian Navigator leader currently serves as a traveling professor at one of CAR’s universities. This is strategically significant because his academic role allows natural access to students, credibility with university leadership, and a consistent platform for relational disciplemaking.
Missions Needs for 2026
Two missionary couples to work among university students.
Build a foundational generation of laborers capable of multiplying locally.
Strengthen partnerships through existing relational gateways, especially through the Cameroonian professor.
Liberia
Liberia continues to stabilize socially and economically, with a large youth population open to relational engagement and spiritual development. English is the official language, making student ministry accessible.
People of peace are already present in Liberia and provide natural relational entry points for missionaries. Our veteran missionary who helped open Liberia, remains available to provide mentoring and short-term support to a new team.
High school and university ministry remain the strongest avenues for long-term disciplemaking.
Mission Needs for 2026
A young missionary couple and a small-business person to pioneer ministry.
High school recruitment and discipleship through college.
Strengthen emerging communities through coaching and mentoring.
Asia-Pacific
South Asia Mainstream - Pioneering Team
During the 2019 Global Missions Conference, it was clear that the Lord led us to focus on the mainstream in South Asia as a place to send for the Worldwide Partnership. The need is so great for the 800m mainstream majority. This South Asian country has the most unreached people in the world. The Lord has blessed us with a pioneering leader who is currently living there with his family. The crucial need is for pioneering team members to join them. We are looking for singles, couples or families to join us in seeking to live integrated lives among the mainstream there. Having a professional background that they are passionate about, and a preference/experience of relationally focused ministry would be beneficial. The focus of our work is long-term so initial years would have a strong emphasis on the cultural and language learning necessary for a long-term integrated witness.
A South Asian country
With close to 200 million people, 3 out of 1000 are Christians, and over 300 people groups, this nation is largely unreached with the Gospel and is in need of more labourers. Alongside natural beauty, one of the biggest attractions of this nation is the beautiful people.
An experienced couple has 16 years’ experience in this country and are re-establishing a small business in a major city. Through previous pioneering efforts, there are believers following Jesus in family and relational networks. More team members are urgently needed to assist with the business and continue this crucial pioneering effort. We will look for some of these team members to become team leaders in the future.
We long to see a growing movement of the gospel into the nation: laborers next door to everywhere. To do that, God has called us to lay the foundation of Jesus Christ in foundational communities as a foundation for generations of laborers living and discipling among the vast number of majority-religion people. In this country, families are key to see the spread of the Gospel, so reaching them and not alienating them is a priority.
This new business and work are supported by an Asia Pacific alongsider, Asia Pacific Missional Enterprises team, and an Advisory Board. We are open to couples or singles of all productive ages. Should you need more details, you can contact Asia Pacific Mission Team.
Fiji
The South Pacific has a strong history of Christian ministry, but this is under threat from Islam and other non-Christian movements. Located on the island nation of Fiji, the University of the South Pacific (USP) is the primary tertiary institution that receives the best and brightest from all over the Pacific for training emerging leadership in government, medicine, corporations, and the private sector for the 12 USP member island nations of Fiji, Cook Islands, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
This provides a strategic opportunity to be used of God to raise up labourers for the harvest by strengthening the fledging ministry there. So, it is a vital ministry target for us from which our ministry could expand throughout the Pacific, somewhat like Paul’s ministry in the Hall of Tyrannus in Ephesus (Acts 9:9-10) which led to the Gospel expanding throughout the Roman province of Asia in the first century.
The role has three key functions:
Strengthening the grassroots ministry that is already taking place at USP
Establishing a Navigators ministry presence at USP and other local tertiary institutions
Serving as an alongsider to help ignite labouring movements throughout the South Pacific as graduates return to their home nations.
We are trusting God for a couple to serve with The Navigators in Fiji to provide leadership for the campus ministry and who would also be able to train and equip a younger couple or single(s) to labour on campus with them.
Country 4
This country is a developing country in Southeast Asia with a young demographic. The majority of people practice traditional folk religion with a small percentage of Catholics and Buddhists.
Foreign investment is promoted to drive economic growth. Urbanization is increasing, resulting in a growing middle class.
There is an opportunity to develop indigenous ministry over the next decade, focusing on three goals: strengthening grassroots ministry in the city, establishing a ministry with local leaders at universities, and leading an international ministry team aligned with the national strategy.
We are seeking a couple to join the work in the city to lead community and campus ministries and train a younger couple for this work.
Eurasia
Country 1
A Nav Rep couple sought to collaborate with an experienced Nav Rep couple and local leaders. Ministry is conducted in the local languages, so language learning is required.
Purpose
Ministry among Focus groups. Develop a personal ministry that models our CORE and regional emphases, relationally advancing the gospel and providing basic follow-up. Work towards fostering a Navigator local labouring community. Ministry areas include community ministry, orphan ministry, and athletics.

Country 2
A non-NATO country passport holder, Nav Rep seeks to partner with and work alongside our senior staff couple (who are also English speakers).
Purpose
To relationally advance the gospel and disciple new believers through our established English language school business. This role focuses on outreach to unreached people groups, students, and the local community.
Profile
We are seeking a Nav-trained, non-Western couple who are native English speakers and hold non-NATO passports. Your primary role will be to teach English and support the operations of our school. While professional teaching credentials (like a CELTA) or school management experience are a plus, they are not required, as comprehensive training will be provided. A heart for discipleship is essential. You will help develop young believers and engage in outreach with college-age individuals and younger. You will also be integral in helping the local teams build community among believers and seekers, and you will support our annual, impactful summer projects.
Kyiv, Ukraine: Base initially in Budapest, Hungary – traveling team into Kyiv:
A Nav-Rep couple to join the Country Leader couple as part of a traveling team to Kyiv to encourage and develop existing Ukrainian labourers. Once things settle in Ukraine, the plan may include relocating to Kyiv.
Purpose
To help the Country Leader couple as part of a traveling team into Kyiv, Ukraine, based in Budapest, Hungary, coming alongside the Ukrainian Navigator team in Kyiv and helping with re-pioneering the work towards building an ongoing – Ukrainian-led Navigator work in the future.
Country 4

Europe
Bulgaria
The Navigators in Bulgaria are looking to receive co-labourers for the local work in both the capital Sofia and at the campus of the American University of Blagoevgrad. They are currently running community work and student work and have summer camps for families. A video portrait paints a picture of the current reality, click here to watch the video.
Spain
Léon – the Spanish Navigators have a long history, an older generation is faithfully involved since decades, and they are seeing a new generation of (mainly international) students and young professionals coming to faith and taking God’s Word seriously. We are looking to gather a small team to help strengthen the older generation on their vision for discipleship, and to equip the younger generation in their spiritual growth. Speaking Spanish is a helpful starting point. Please each out to us for more information.
Norway
We’re looking for a couple or a team of singles with a heart for students and young professionals to join our teams in Bergen and/or Trondheim (Click on the city names to watch a presentation video). Our focus is on life-on-life discipleship. Requirements: language learning and willingness to adapt to the local Norwegian culture with openness for collaboration with local churches.
Romania
We are looking for an experienced English-speaking couple, aged 30+, with highly relational personalities, flexibility, respect, and openness to engaging with students from diverse backgrounds (also those with an Orthodox cultural identity in a post-communist country). Language learning is beneficial, but not an absolute necessity as the proficiency in English offers an opportunity for locals to enhance their English skills. We have an emphasis on social outreach, aiming to bring hope, justice, and educational opportunities to children and young people facing challenging circumstances.
Latin America
Lima, Peru
We’re looking for a young couple (age 25-40) with a heart to serve and a desire to be part of what God is doing in a vibrant, bustling city. If you’re excited about learning Spanish, connecting deeply with people, and building relationships in everyday life, Lima might be the perfect place for you.
Flexibility is key— plans change often here, and the ability to adapt with grace makes all the difference. A secular professional background is a plus (especially in counseling, psychology, marketing, or business), but it’s not required. What matters most is a willingness to love people well, step into community, and grow alongside us.
La Paz, Honduras
Seeking two couples or two singles who speak Spanish and are willing to grow in language skills, age 25 to 60. This is a unique and timely opportunity God has opened within the National Police Academy (ANAPO). There is a growing interest among both officers and cadets to receive intentional discipleship and to be equipped to make disciples within their own context.
This initiative has the potential not only to strengthen individual believers in the academy but also to prepare them to influence and transform the police culture of the country from within. The leadership at ANAPO has expressed openness and a desire for continued spiritual formation, mentoring, and biblical training.
We believe this is a strategic moment. Having experienced Navigators who can invest relationally, model life-on-life discipleship, and help build a sustainable gospel movement among future police leaders could have a long-term impact on Honduran society.
Middle East and North Africa
country 1
We need both Arab Missionaries and expats. As Navigators, we have been too conservative and too cautious in sending to this country. The northern part of this country has been open for a long time, and a number of other Christian organizations have sent missionaries to this region. We have established a relationship with a local believer and we remain in regular communication. Young couples and singles are needed. Educators, teachers and social workers are among the helpful professions.
Country 2
Mostly needed are people seeking professional jobs like educators, engineers, doctors, health professionals, or professors in a university setting. A large portion of the population is expats, including many from other Arab countries, such as Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Algeria. Most of these people groups have become people of permanence in the Gulf region. This country is an excellent candidate for opening up different types of projects.
Country 3
A group of about six people is in the early stages of ministry here. Despite political instability, we see God’s hand at work, and doors remain open for the gospel.
Country 4
A couple has served faithfully in this place for many years but will be leaving soon. We are praying for expats to step in and continue the ministry that has been established.
North America and the Caribbean
Canada
National Project Manager
