Marburger Mission

The Marburger Mission Foundation (MM) is a non-profit, church-based foundation under civil law, headquartered in Marburg. It was established in 1909 and has since been sending and supporting missionaries in eight countries of service and the East Africa network. With around 74 employees worldwide, MM promotes, in partnership with local congregations, the founding and development of independent churches, theological education, evangelistic diaconal work, and cross-cultural networking. The work is financed through voluntary donations from individuals, congregations, and churches; the foundation is recognized as tax-privileged by the Gießen tax office.

The Marburger Mission Foundation recruits and sends women and men to lead people of all languages, peoples, and nations to reconciliation with God through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It works in partnership with indigenous churches and organizations, focusing on church planting, church development, theological education, diaconal evangelism, and cross-cultural networking. The goal is to establish independent, mission-capable congregations that, in turn, send out missionaries.

The funding programs and projects of the Marburger Mission Foundation are aimed at congregations, church communities, and missionally engaged Christians in Germany and the countries of deployment; individuals and groups interested in global mission or wishing to actively participate in projects; as well as local partner organizations and churches that, together with the MM, implement community work, theological training, and diaconal projects.
