Click the button at the bottom of the page to go to the online application form.
-
Register as a new user, and then wait for an email to be sent to you with your username and password. You must use the password assigned to you in this email to access the online application.
- If you are applying for a North American missions project, you can complete the application here. On the application, choose “NAMB” in the space that says: "Organization applying through".
- Complete the entire application, using the “save and continue” button at the bottom of each page, and then print the summary page that appears. This printed copy will be the only access you have to your application once you click “submit”.
- If you do not complete the entire application at one time, you will need to save your work page by page before you log out, or your answers will be lost.
- When you have completed all pages and printed a copy for your files, click the “submit” button to send your application to the International Mission Board. Remember: once you hit “submit,” you are no longer able to modify or access your application.
Application Deadlines
We will make assignments as we receive applications. We will not review your file until we have your completed application and all four references. All assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Please have your application AND references complete at least two months prior to the start date of the project—earlier is always better.
Applications are reviewed within 10 days of an application being completed. A completed application includes the receipt of all four references.
Assignment
Please indicate your assignment preferences on your application. Please include both the location and the project number of the assignments you prefer. Students applying directly to the IMB rather than through the state BSU/BCM system can view all available projects in the Mission projects section.
It's our desire to honor your assignment preference, but we want to ensure that you serve where it would best fit your personal and spiritual maturity, as well as your ministry experience. Therefore, we may need to assign you to a project other than your first preference.
Should you have any problems or questions, please call the Student Mobilization Team at 800-999-3113 ext. 1363 or e-mail us at studentteam@imb.org.
