A wide selection of missions “entrées” that you can really sink your teeth into!
Heritage Tour
The district office administers this tour in collaboration with the Office for Missions Mobilization (OMM). Missionaries and dates are determined by these offices and communicated to the local church.Inter District Tour

Antioch Alliance
This relational approach to tour requires a missionary who will live in the district during home assignment and provide designated churches with a missions emphasis throughout the year.Learn more»
Freedom Tour
Some districts have implemented and encouraged the Freedom Tour. This allows the local church to determine what, who, when and where regarding their missions event and communicate this to the district missions director. Contact your District Mission Mobilizer to see if this is an option for your church. Learn more»
There are a growing number of nationals who serve well as missions mobilizers. A list of effective communicators is available in OMM. They are excellent communicators who have the blessing of church and mission. If interested, contact the Office of Missions Mobilization.
Generally, there is an untapped group of unique communicators with a passion for missions. Some obvious mobilizers might be district superintendents, chairpersons of missions committees, Alliance Women and Men presidents, or missionaries who have returned home. To “meet” your district mission mobilizer go to www.cmalliance.org/im/omm/districtmm.jsp.
Too often, those who have been on short-term missions trips have a limited audience. However, their firsthand experience can benefit many groups as they share what God did in and through them. In some cases, it may encourage those who have an interest in going on a short-term missions trip to proceed with their plans.
Pastors on a Mission
Some districts might consider sending pastors to observe Alliance mission fields and report in district churches what God is doing through their prayers and giving. Local churches might send their pastoral team to a C&MA field in order to have a firsthand report.Annual Ministry Trips
Each district sends pastoral couples and four to six lay people from the congregation. Videos are taken and used not only in their church but at least three other pre-determined district churches. No one should be approved to go unless there is a willingness and plan to “share the goods.”Regional Rally
Several churches in close proximity work together to do what they might not be able to accomplish alone.
We sometimes refer to this as Marketplace Ministry. Marketplace ministry is for those filled with a passion to see the Church established through business-based endeavors, sometimes in high-risk environments. The International Fellowship of Alliance Professionals (IFAP) deploys and supports lay professionals in entering closed-access countries in strategic support of creative-access ministries. Many IFAPers are not provided with the platform to present their ministries. Perhaps there are those serving in creative-access countries that might be available to speak in district churches. For a list of available IFAPers contact The Office of Mission Mobilzation. For more information about IFAP go to: www.cmalliance.org/im/imserve/marketplace/marketplace.jsp.
“CAMA” stands for Compassion and Mercy Associates. “Services” refers to a variety of relief and development ministries that flesh out the good news of God’s love for people—body and soul. Combined, the two words refer to compassionate servants ministering to people in crisis situations through word and deed. Compassion And Mercy Associates have workers that would like to connect with district & churches. Although these workers do not typically return to the states for a year, they are available to speak in churches. Contact the Office of Missions Mobilization for a current list of available CAMA workers that are available to speak. Also visit the CAMA Services Web site at www.camaservices.org.
In conjunction with the Missionary Candidate Office and the local church where the missionary serves, candidates can be used for missions mobilization. It is extremely important for the future missionary and the district to develop a strong and healthy relationship. For a current list of candidates available for missions mobilization contact the Office of Missions Mobilization. For more about Missionary Candidates go to www.cmalliance.org/im/imserve/candidate/candidate.jsp.

More missionaries are returning to the homeland midterm to visit churches, family, and friends. Upon the approval of the regional director and field director, arrangements could be made with returning missionaries to speak at District Conference and/or Missions Conferences.Pastoral Care Teams
