Thanks for your interest in joining Embassy!

Embassy is a community of Christians committed to building genuine friendships with Muslims online. These relationships often provide natural opportunities to introduce Muslims to Jesus.

Embassy provides guidance and support, but the relationships are built organically by you. Once your application is approved, Embassy will walk you through the next steps and provide ongoing support to help you meaningfully engage your Muslim friends.

You might be wondering, what am I committing to as an Embassy volunteer?

You don’t have to be a spiritual superstar or an expert in Islam to be an Embassy Volunteer. If you love Jesus, enjoy getting to know people, and can spare 45 minutes a week, you’re likely a great fit.

In order to have the most fruitful experience – both for you and for your Muslim friends – we ask volunteers to commit to the following:

Establish a local prayer and accountability group. Find 3-5 people who will pray for you and for the people you connect with online. Update them weekly with prayer requests.
Complete training. Online training videos will be made accessible to you once your application is approved, and you’ll be asked to review them before you get started. (Ongoing support and resources are also made available to Embassy volunteers, which we highly recommend taking advantage of.)
Reach out. Volunteers commit to setting aside at least 45 minutes a week to connect with Muslims online: women speaking with women, and men speaking with men. Our premise is simple: We develop real friendships. Within the context of friendship, we share our faith, share the gospel, and invite our friends to study the Bible.
Stay connected. Once your application is approved, you will receive an invitation to a private social media group. We ask volunteers to join this social media group to share progress and prayer requests with fellow “ambassadors”, and to hear about training and outreach opportunities.

Here are a few things to keep in mind before starting your application:

The application takes about 10 - 15 minutes to complete, and there is no option to save it and come back later.
You’ll be asked to provide a reference person (someone who knows you well, like a pastor) and an email contact for your reference. You’ll want to give them a heads up before completing the application.

Section 3 of 5: Statement of Faith

Please review the following statement of faith:

We believe in one God, Creator and Lord of the universe, eternally existent as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the incarnate word of God, the promised Messiah, Son of God; born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for atonement of sin and rose from the dead for our justification. He ascended to heaven and intercedes for us. He is the only mediator between God and Man. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, promised by the Father. He has come to glorify Jesus Christ, sanctify the believer and equip the Church. We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired word. It is our complete Statement of Faith, in matters of faith and conduct. It is without error in all its teachings, given to the Christian for guidance and edification. We believe in the Great Commission of Jesus Christ, given to His disciples to reach all nations. It is Christ who leads us as we reach Muslims around the world. We believe that all humans have sinned and fallen short of the Kingdom of God. Only through faith in Christ can they experience salvation and see the Kingdom of God. We believe in one universal Church that is formed from every person washed by the Blood of the Lamb, regardless of their race, culture, religious background, and age. We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in glory to raise the dead and bring salvation and judgment to completion. God will fully manifest His Kingdom when He establishes a new heaven and a new earth, in which He will be glorified forever.

I affirm the above statement of faith.

Please review Crescent Project's statement on "Insider Movements":

“The Insider Movement” is not a clearly defined approach and is comprised of opposing methods and approaches. Some ministries are using unbiblical methods that distract from the work of God amongst Muslims. There are those who argue it is a result of the C5 model of contextualization. Others have resorted to sound bites and shock therapy to mobilize for missions among Muslims. Crescent Project is concerned about Muslim-Christian relations and the unity of the community of Jesus. Therefore, we propose these guidelines and request that workers among Muslims adhere to these Biblical norms: God loves Muslims and is building His Kingdom among them. (John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9) The Bible is sufficient concerning all matters of faith and conduct. The Bible is sufficient to draw people to faith in Christ. The use of other religious books is not necessary. Placing equal authority on the Quran, Hadith and/or other religious books is distracting and entangles us in unnecessary discussions. (Mark 13:31, Hebrews 4:12) Focus on the Savior. Our appeal to Muslims is the same as in the Acts of the Apostles: Come to the savior, come to salvation. Our focus is not on methods and “wow” theology. The Gospel message is simple and the Gospel is always the same. God does not need our help to ratify or rectify His Gospel message. (Acts 4:12, Romans 1:16) Truth in witnessing. We are called to be truthful in word and deed. Jesus demands a life of purity both in attitude and action. Jesus said, “Let your yes be yes, and your no, no.” We do not need to hide our identity. Jesus said what I told you in secret proclaim from the rooftops. Any method that does not honor Christ in our truthfulness is disobedient to Christ’s commands. (2 Corinthians 4:2, 2 Timothy 1:7-8) Salvation is in Christ. Salvation is by faith in Christ’s work on the cross. The stumbling block of the cross is in the Gospel message, since the inception of the Church. Any efforts to avoid the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord by those who claim the name of Christ is heresy and unacceptable. Any addition to the work of Christ is anathema. We are saved by grace through faith. Following Christ demands a change in lifestyle. (Ephesians 2:5-6, Ephesians 2:10, John 15:1-5) The Community of Faith: Church in Greek means “community of the separate” and applies to those who have come out of the worldly system. This is what we are inviting Muslims to join - not culture or a country or a club. The focus should be on the community and not on dress, rituals or missiological methods developed behind a desk. (John 1:12 Acts 2:42) The church is one community. We are all followers of Christ without additional adjectives (MBB/BMB/MBC/CBM). The church is an English word for the Greek word ekklesia. Ekklesia means the community of those who have come out of the world. It has become a fad to create terminologies, acronyms and abbreviations for believers who come from majority Muslim countries. This is a deterrent to the oneness of the body of Christ. We cannot support any fragmentation of the work among Muslim people. (Philemon 1:16, James 2:1-9) Dear friend, commit with us to honor Christ as the only Savior. Commit to honor the Gospel and share it without reservation. Commit to honor Muslims, with a truthful testimony of what God has done in your life through Jesus the Messiah.
