As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
—Romans 10:15 (NIV)

Living Link is a missionary support program that links missionaries on the field with congregations, small groups, and individuals at home. Approximately seventy-five career missionaries are serving in twenty-three different countries. More than one thousand congregations and individuals partner with our missionaries though prayer and support. Global Missions is the link between the sending churches and the missionaries.
The purpose of Living Link is to:
- Enable a congregation or individual to fulfill the Great Commission in practical ways.
- Provide a means by which a missionary is sent.
- Develop relationships between the congregation or individual and the missionary through prayer, correspondence, and financial support.
How to become involved:
OR
- Contact Global Missions of the Church of God and request the names of available Living Link missionaries.
- Once you have decided to become involved, notify the Living Link office by phone, e-mail, or regular mail; identify the missionary chosen; and specify the amount of your pledge. If your congregation chooses to provide yearly support of 25 percent of the missionary's annual budget, your missionary will be considered a staff missionary for the congregation. While on home assignment, staff missionaries are encouraged to spend a designated period of time working and ministering among you.
- You will receive biographical information on your chosen missionaries, a Living Link certificate, prayer cards, and a 5" x 7" picture. Your missionary will also be notified immediately of your sponsorship and will begin regular correspondence with you as soon as possible.
When your Living Link missionary is on leave from the field, your church will receive a visit at least once each term. In addition, you will only be responsible for a $60 travel expense regardless of travel mode. Another added bonus for first-time Living Link partners is a one-year, complimentary subscription to Missions magazine.
Support payments may be made monthly, quarterly, or annually; you will not be billed. Please make your checks out to Church of God Ministries, PO Box 2420, Anderson, IN 46018. Please write your missionaries' project number or name on your check to insure it is receipted properly. If you should choose to make any change in your total giving, please notify the Living Link office so our records and missionary support status can be kept current.
When is my Living Link missionary on leave from the field? (These dates are tentative and are often dictated by events in the field.)
