Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
How can I get a missionary's contact information?
To ensure the safety of missionaries, Global Mission policy requires the Global NMI Office to limit distribution of missionary contact information.
For missionary addresses and/or E-mail addresses, please contact your district NMI president.
Since district presidents have closer contact with local church leaders, the Global NMI Office provides district presidents with missionary contact information to disseminate to the appropriate individuals.
If you are interested in biographical information about missionaries, such as their profiles and/or pictures, please visit the Missionary Profiles Online.
Where can I get pictures of missionaries?
- First, if the missionaries are your LINKS missionaries, contact your district LINKS coordinator (or district LINKS secretary). He/she should have photos of the district LINKS missionaries, as well as biographical information, etc.
- The Global Mission maintains an online directory of missionaries, called Missionary Profiles Online. Some missionaries' photos are included in their online profile. However, missionaries in Creative Access Areas or areas determined to be sensitive areas may not have online profiles available for their protection.
- If neither your LINKS coordinator nor the Missionary Profiles Online has what you're looking for, contact the Global NMI Office.
