MDE BELIEVES MEANINGFUL MARKETPLACE MISSION WORK
DEPENDS ON STRONG RELATIONSHIPS
ACROSS THE BROADER BODY OF CHRIST

Built for collaboration

MDE was not created to function independently or provide every kind of support on its own.

From the beginning, MDE has depended on mutually beneficial relationships with churches, sending organizations, mobilizers, businesses, donors, intercessors, and other strategic partners. Together, these relationships form an ecosystem of support that strengthens both sustainable work and long-term disciple-making in difficult places.

This collaborative posture shapes both how MDE works and how we serve members around the world.

Different kinds of partnership

MDE collaborates with a variety of organizations and individuals, including:

Churches and Sending Organizations

Organizations that deploy and care for people serving cross-culturally, often partnering with MDE to provide additional business, professional, and missional support.

Mobilizing Organizations

Organizations that help people explore and pursue life on mission, including marketplace pathways.

Specialized Service Partners

Trusted organizations and providers offering services that members have identified as important and that extend beyond MDE’s volunteer-based support model.

Donors and Intercessors

Individuals and communities whose prayer and/or financial support sustain both MDE and the members we serve.
