Where in the world?
MDE members have lived and worked in countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Some of these are considered spiritually restricted or difficult-access environments, while others contain communities that remain deeply unreached despite broader access to the gospel.
In every context, members are focused on building authentic presence and meaningful relationships through real work.

Why in the world?
Real work creates real opportunity
Business and professional work create natural opportunities for long-term presence, meaningful relationships, and everyday engagement within communities.
Because every marketplace and community is different, MDE members pursue a wide variety of ventures and professions—each shaped by local realities, personal skills, and the needs around them.
No single path fits every marketplace
MDE members come from a wide variety of professional and business backgrounds. Some launch businesses. Others pursue careers or community-based initiatives.
What they share is a commitment to meaningful work, authentic presence, and intentional disciple-making.
