Global Missions
Northstar works toward fulfilling our global vision by sending short-term teams and long-term missionaries. Our primary aim in sending is to help start churches where they do not exist or to empower the local church to fulfill its mission.

Dominican Republic
DR Vision seeks to make a reproducing impact for Christ throughout the country and all of Latin America. All of their ministries – Las Palmas school, sports ministry, Mercy Workshop, a medical clinic, and two local churches – are designed to meet specific needs in the community with the intention of making disciples.
Our student team serves annually during spring break at Las Palmas, and our adult team serves in a variety of capacities as the missionary team sees best.

Greece
Many immigrants and refugees have fled from countries such as Syria, Iran, Congo, Nigeria, Morocco, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh because of persecution, war, or economic need. Although the refugee crisis has slowed, many still arrive in Athens seeking asylum or a new life.
Our short-term teams will support a ministry team of six local believers who make disciples and plant churches among refugees and local Greeks.
The Athens team operates a training center focused on church planting. Ongoing classes on evangelism and discipleship are offered, and many new believers from the city are discipled there.
Join us in supporting this work through prayer walking, evangelism, teaching ESL classes, and encouraging believers, church planters, and missionaries.
Opportunities for 2024 trips will be available this fall!
Guatemala
La Mision serves the Guatemalan people through medical initiatives, construction projects, bible school, food distribution, and more. Mission teams partner with this ministry by serving two remote villages with medical treatments in hopes of gaining entry into the community. Through these ministry opportunities, locals have the ability to build long-term relationships.
Join our team as they creatively serve the community, helping long-term workers reach people with the gospel.

Knoxville
Togo
The 6 Degree Initiative (6DI) is a church planting movement focusing on the unreached people groups just north of the equator in West Africa. This area has been greatly impacted by Voodoo and the exportation of human life through the slave trade. The missionary team partners with national leaders to plant churches in the least-reached cities of the region.
There are 5 projects currently with the 6DI: Togo church planting, Benin church planting, Palms Kids Camps, Deaf Project, and Vocational Training Center. Our teams will serve in one or some of these projects depending on the needs of the missionaries.
