New International — Organization Profile
New International (also known as New Mission Systems International, or NMSI) is a Christian mission sending agency that exists to proclaim Christ and make disciples globally. The organization is headquartered at the Center for Global Outreach in Fort Myers, Florida, and serves missionaries, churches, and ministry partners through pathways designed to help people respond to God’s calling with practical preparation and ongoing support.
New International describes its work through a holistic vision that includes people of all nations worshiping God, experiencing ongoing life transformation, fulfilling their God-given purpose, and fostering the emergence of Jesus-following communities. As a sending agency, New International’s core function is to help individuals, couples, and families move from discernment to deployment—connecting them with ministry opportunities and providing structure for spiritual care, accountability, and logistics.
A key distinctive is the range of service options New International offers. Those pathways include Career Missions for long-term missionary service, Apprenticeships (listed as 6–36 months), Venture Internships (including summer internships), Short-Term Projects that churches and teams can join, and Volunteer roles that support the mission’s work. This “multiple on-ramps” model allows prospective workers and sending churches to choose a commitment level that fits their season while still connecting to longer-term ministry outcomes.
New International also provides practical support for giving and partnership. Donors can contribute to the general fund or designate gifts toward specific missionaries, projects, internships, events, ministries, and other giving areas listed on the organization’s site. The organization hosts giving tools and “other ways to give” options, and it encourages supporters to engage beyond finances through prayer and advocacy for global disciple-making.
Leadership and governance are publicly listed. New International is led by Jeff Metzger (Chief Executive Officer) and a C-suite team that includes Susan Caple (Chief Accounting Officer), Jim Vogel (Chief International Officer), Mark Michael (Chief People Officer), and Jayson Simonson (Chief Financial Officer). The board of directors is chaired by Larry Boden and includes officers and members from multiple states, reflecting the organization’s commitment to policy-based oversight and accountability.
For churches and individuals exploring missions, New International’s website is designed to help visitors evaluate opportunities, apply for service tracks, and connect with the team for next steps. Whether someone is exploring a first short-term trip or pursuing a long-term assignment, New International positions itself as a sending partner that helps workers and churches take informed steps toward gospel-centered ministry.
