Alabama-West Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church

The Alabama-West Florida Conference exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. It includes the geographical area of south and central Alabama and northwest Florida. More than 146,000 United Methodists reside in the Alabama-West Florida Conference.

It is a joy for us to support missionaries throughout the world. We appreciate and honor their selflessness as they give of their lives for the Kingdom of God. The missionaries are our ambassadors for Jesus Christ when we cannot be there ourselves. We partner with them and join them with our hearts, minds, and prayers, as well as our resources.

Project Information

Missionaries Around the World

Missionaries witness and serve in dramatically different locales and cultures and engage in a range of professions and activities. They come from many places and backgrounds. 

In more than 60 countries around the world, missionaries work as congregational and leadership developers, pastors, educators, regional coordinators for UMCOR, agriculturalists, health coordinators, and doctors.

Quick Facts

  • Congregations can support United Methodist missionaries through a Covenant Relationship by pledging $5 per member per year, or $2,500 per year.

  • Youth groups and young adult groups are encouraged to form Covenant Relationships with young adult missionaries serving in the US-2 and Mission Intern programs for $5 per member per year.

  • Individuals can establish a Covenant Relationship with a missionary for $500 per year or more.

  • Only about 25 percent of missionary support comes from local church apportionments; therefore,Covenant Relationships are the most important source of missionary support and are vital for continued missionary placements.

  • There are over 300 Global Ministries’ missionaries serving in over 60 countries. There are around 225 serving internationally.

  • Almost one-half of the missionaries serving internationally are from outside the US. Our missionary community reflects the global nature of The United Methodist Church.
