The World Initiative Network (WIN) in partnership with BBFI Missions, is here to help you step into God's calling—wherever He may lead. We believe your skills, training, and life experience are powerful tools for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. With a global network of over 23,000 churches and more than 500 missionaries already serving in 80+ countries, we’re ready to walk with you on this journey. Whether it’s medical missions, teaching overseas, church planting, or something uniquely suited to your background, we want to help you find your place in God’s mission.
BBFI Career missionaries are Bible college or seminary graduates whose primary ministry focus on the field is church planting. WIN Missionaries often have different educational backgrounds and ministry experiences and desire to use these experiences and skills to serve in cross-cultural missions.
The WIN program is a partner of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International. We are a network of pastors, churches and missionaries who align under our Articles of Faith and partner together in the work of the Great Commission. We believe that the local church is the Biblical sending agency for a missionary pursuing God’s call on their lives. As such, the sending church and sending pastor work in partnership with the World Initiative Network to serve and support their WIN Missionaries.
WIN training is designed to prepare you for all aspects of missionary life. Training will cover topics such as preparing for deputation, financial reporting, assimilating to the field, expectations of pastors and supporters, international banking, caring for your family, security training and more. WIN training is a requirement and is offered in the spring, fall, and alongside BBFI missionaries during Advanced Missionary Training in July. You must attend one of the training events.
Conversations between you and your sending church would be key to defining your ministry role. The Mission Office is here to offer counsel from our experience, but we view your ministry role as a collaborative effort between you, your sending church, and any missionary partners engaged in the work. This offers WIN Missionaries the flexibility they need to follow God’s call on their lives.
