Coaching Mission International (CMI) is a Christian coaching and training ministry that serves global mission workers and mission organizations. Its stated mission is through coaching and training, CMI empowers global mission workers and organizations for greater Kingdom impact. The organization focuses on helping missionaries, cross-cultural workers, ministry leaders, and organizations gain support, clarity, resilience, and practical skills for sustainable ministry.
CMI is connected with leadership in Arizona and serves mission workers across 110 countries. Its story began in 2004, when a mission organization working in South Asia invited coaching support for six global workers. That initial work led to a wider vision for making coaching available to thousands of field staff, and Coaching Mission International was incorporated in 2006. Since then, CMI has trained more than 500 mission leaders serving in 54 countries and has provided more than 65,000 hours of coaching to more than 4,100 mission workers.
The organization’s core focus is developing global workers to have transformative and sustainable impact. CMI describes coaching as a way to help workers process challenges, transitions, calling, leadership questions, cultural adjustment, team dynamics, purpose, and spiritual formation. Its vision is to see mission workers strengthened, encouraged, and equipped to serve well and thrive.
CMI operates through coaching, coach training, workshops, courses, mentoring, and volunteer support. Its courses include Foundations for Coaching Excellence, Advanced Mentor Coaching, Coaching with Personality Types, Coaching with Cultural Intelligence, Coaching with Life Purpose, Advanced Global Coach Certificate, and Training Transformational Trainers. The Advanced Life Coach Certificate is accredited by the International Coaching Federation as a Level 1 training program.
The ministry’s distinctives include Christ-centered coaching, cross-cultural awareness, mission experience, and training designed for people serving in global ministry contexts. CMI’s coaches and trainers bring experience from pastoral ministry, international missions, member care, leadership development, nonprofit work, education, counseling, and cross-cultural service. The organization’s materials emphasize the coach approach as useful not only for certified coaches, but also for ministry workers who want to lead and serve others more effectively.
People can engage with Coaching Mission International by getting a coach, becoming a coach, taking a course, attending a workshop, scheduling a call, giving financially, receiving email updates, volunteering, or exploring opportunities to serve with the CMI team. The organization also invites mission workers, churches, and mission organizations to use coaching skills as a tool for strengthening leaders and supporting people serving in challenging ministry settings.
