Cultivate Application
The heart behind Cultivate is to help prospective missionaries nurture their communion with God, their missionary skills, and their knowledge for healthy life and ministry overseas. This is also a place to continue pursuing clarity in calling. We understand that applications are performance-driven by nature, but the reality is that none of us measure up fully to the standards of being a global missionary. Thanks be to God that Jesus met every standard for us! Thus, in light of Him, you can approach this application with honesty instead of performance in the confidence that He is actively transforming us.

Before you can be approved to participate in Cultivate and continue forward in the sending process you are required to submit two references: at least one needs to be from a CG leader, Sojourn College discipler, or Sojourn pastor/staff member. The second reference can be from any Midtown member that knows you well. Send them this link: https://forms.gle/yFnvrbcue6G3StBeA   

Following your application submission, our team will reach out to you regarding next steps.

Blessings,

Jesse Leightenheimer
Pastor of Sending, Sojourn Church Midtown
