OUR STORY

In 2005, Marvin Slaton II approached his friend, Elias Reyes, with a prophetic vision he received while on a short-term mission trip in China. The vision was about the words “Modern Day”. The Lord spoke to Marvin that, “it was time that the archaic world of missions be married to the Modern Day world of technology and advancement.”

From that point, Elias Reyes, Nic Lesmeister & Ryan Young began dreaming of how to facilitate missions to the nations with greater ease. In time, God gave Elias the organizational model for which “Modern Day Missions“ would operate. Encouraged by the vision of the organization, Elias’s friend, Jeff Bishop, generously donated the startup costs for the organization to launch.  On July 1, 2008, “Modern Day Missions” was officially formed as a nonprofit organization, with Slaton being the first missionary to work with the organization

For the past 13 years, we have made it our mission to not only help mobilize missionaries to the mission field but equip them with the tools to stay there. We had no idea in 2008, that over a decade later, we would have partnered with over 1300 missionaries in over 80 countries!! During that same time span we have processed over $30 Million for the Great Commission!!

“Modern Day Missions” is indebted to the Lord and the thousands of missionaries and donors that have turned our dream into a reality! And for that, we say Thank You!!
