Presbyterian Mission International (PMI) is a network of U.S.-based Christians and select gospel ministers who are from outside the U.S. (normally by birth and upbringing, but also perhaps through significant international ministry experience or having an international marriage), but who have completed a degree at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. This PMI network consists of triangular partnerships between these select international Covenant graduates, U.S. Christians and a governing board. One important purpose of these partnerships is to serve and equip each other for Christian living through mutual prayer and encouragement. Another purpose is financially to enable the international graduates to return to their countries of origin and conduct full-time gospel ministry -- or as PMI's vision statement puts it, to labor in Evangelism and Church-planting, Leadership training, Holistic ministries and Connecting churches internationally.
I invite you to browse through the various missionaries' and scholars' pages and learn the details of the works in progress. If you have further questions about PMI or an interest in supporting a particular missionary or scholar, please feel free to contact me or any member of the PMI board.

PMI Ministry Update
J. Nelson Jennings, Outgoing President
Thank you for your interest in Presbyterian Mission International. As our bourgeoning website shows, PMI continues to grow as an organization. Please visit our website regularly to keep up with our overall updates and especially our missionaries' news. All of us involved with PMI deeply value your informed prayers.
In light of our continued growth, and as I reported in the Winter-Spring Ministry Update, PMI has brought on a Director to spearhead the increased demands we face for serving our missionaries and supporters. The PMI Board is grateful to have Rev. Tom Hudson as our new Director. Tom and his wife Carol served for many years as missionaries in Portugal, and Tom brings much experience and passion to this new role for him and for PMI. Please pray for Tom in his transition into his many important responsibilities with PMI.
It has been my distinct privilege to serve as PMI President since 2002. My wife and I are moving to New Haven, CT this summer, where I will join the senior staff of the Overseas Ministries Study Center. Director Hudson will assume most of the responsibilities I have carried as PMI President, but Dr. David Chapman of the PMI Board (and on the New Testament faculty at Covenant Theological Seminary) is now the Board President and will oversee PMI operations. I am grateful for how God continues to supply all of PMI's needs, including through friends like you.
Yours in Christ,
Nelson Jennings,
Outgoing President
