- What Others Are Saying
“I just want to thank you for putting together this great collection of useful sites. I had just finished booking a multi-continent trip for later this month, and spent lots of time at lots of web sites searching and comparing prices and itineraries. Your link to Kayak barely beat my final price, and did it within seconds, rather than hours! I’d also been reminding myself to check on visa needs, weather outlook, travel advisories, etc. and your site easily led me to all the information I needed! People wondering if they can pull off that self-funded, or small-church driven short term trip now have a most helpful and comprehensive resource to be sure and cover all their bases. I tried to think of something you could add — I guess I pride myself in helping others identify areas of possible improvement — but you guys have done it all! Stupendous! I’m speechless, other than praise! I’ll be spreading the news.”

Welcome to Mission:Equip!
Mission:Equip was established to provide resources to missionaries traveling worldwide and to create global connections through blogging and technology. We provide a toolkit of resources for missionaries, no matter where they are.
Our mission is to provide productivity tools in order to EQUIP Christian missionaries worldwide in evangelism and discipleship.
Our site is divided into six main sections: Prepare, Insure, Go, Connect, Share, and Opportunities. We invite you to explore each of these six sections and discover how we can help to equip you for effective service in God's kingdom! Or feel free to use our alternate navigation in the "Resources For Specific Roles" which appears near the bottom of most pages on our site.
Featured Article: Irene’s Journey of Faith
- Posted by Frank Johnson on Feb 09, 2008 at 02:45 PM
Mission:Equip is intended to be a portal which provides online tools for missionaries worldwide. All of us, missionaries included, find ourselves at times facing difficult struggles along our journey.
Recently, one of our partners, Dave Dias, and his wife Irene have been undergoing a difficult journey as Irene courageously battles a rare, terminal disease called Primary Amyloidosis.
We thought the visitors to this website might be interested in reading more about how God is sustaining this couple as they face life circumstances which they never anticipated. Feel free to check out the blog at IreneDias.com and also read about the new book recounting their battle, Irene’s Journey of Faith.
Our hope is that the story of Irene and Dave will be of great encouragement to those in the Lord’s service who are facing frightening circumstances as you read about the God who promises to uphold you no matter how difficult and painful your life’s journey may seem.
