What does the residency cost?

For those who choose to raise funds, fundraising training will be provided to help make support raising as fruitful as possible.
Can Married or Engaged Couples Participate in the Residency?
Yes. We welcome singles, engaged, and married couples. Spend some time talking it over with your significant other and praying together about coming. Engaged couples will be housed separately.

Apartment housing has been selected and will be provided for the residents. The apartments will be located within 10-30 minutes of the field experiences.
How Many People will participate in the Residency?
We are looking for a cohort of six participants.
What is the Field Placement?
You will be paired with an organization in the Atlanta area who shares the same heart and uses many of the same principles as D4D. During these 10-20 hours/week volunteer experiences, you will get hands-on, real-life training so you can put what you learn into practice. To find out more about the organizations, please visit :

Atlanta, GA is home to the Braves, Coca-Cola, the world’s busiest airport, and countless opportunities for cross-cultural encounters.
With over 5 million people in the metro area, warm weather, and a rich cultural history, Atlanta is an ideal place to meet and serve various vulnerable populations. That's why NavMissions is excited to announce a six-month Discipling for Development residency aimed at exposing you to cross-cultural work and whole-life discipleship in this “global city” of the South. |
