Legacy Connect: Apprenticeship
You don't have to figure it all out alone.
Walk with someone who has been there.
Being called to the nations is bold. Staying there is something else entirely.
The challenges of language, culture shock, isolation, and ministry fatigue hit hard—and they often hit early.
That’s why we created Legacy Connect: a one-year mentorship designed to help you thrive, not just survive.
You’ll be paired with a seasoned missionary mentor who has decades of experience on the front lines. This isn’t casual coaching. It’s intentional, personal, and field-tested guidance for your real-life challenges.
What is Legacy Connect?
Legacy Connect is Anchored International’s global mentorship initiative, designed to connect seasoned missionaries with those preparing to go to the field for the first time.
We believe that the wisdom, scars, and stories of those who have been there are some of the most valuable resources in global missions today — and often, they’re sitting untapped in churches across the country.
Legacy Connect equips, supports, and connects retired or returning missionaries to become mentors, encouragers, and spiritual companions for the next generation of cross-cultural workers.
Who is it for?
- First-term missionaries preparing to launch
- Missionaries already on the field who need encouragement or clarity
- Kingdom workers who feel stuck, alone, or worn down
- Anyone longing for wisdom from someone who’s lived it

Why Legacy Connect?
Missionary attrition is real. The stories of burnout, disillusionment, and premature return are far too common.
But you don’t have to be one of those stories.
Legacy Connect exists to help you last.
To pour the wisdom of one generation into the next.
To make sure your calling doesn’t flame out—but becomes a wildfire.
