Missionary Training at ABWE
MRC Online
The ABWE Missionary Resource Center Online (MRC Online) is a free service provided to all ABWE missionaries and staff personnel. Through the MRC Online, CEIM offers free access to a variety of subscription-based online resources that are valuable for missiological research, sermon and lesson preparation, MK and theological education, spiritual enrichment, and presentations development. As funds are provided, through the gifts of donors, we hope to continue to extend these online resources for all ABWE personnel. If God should lead you to support this vital missionary project, please contact Jim Ruff.
Because we value Excellence, we value training and resources.
As a service to all of you who are ABWE missionaries and staff members, the Center for Excellence in International Ministries provides these online resources at no charge to you.
Please note that if you access these resources from the links on this website, you will be redirected to ABWE Central, where you must enter your name and password before the sign-in page for the appropriate resource appears. To select them directly, use the MRC-Online resources link in Central, or access the resource’s website and use the name and password we have given you to log onto the website.

- The username and password (as well as the images) may not be shared, under any circumstances, with anyone outside of ABWE. Images are not for use in North American local church ministry (unless it is a missions-based church plant or you are presenting your overseas ministry to North American churches). They can not be posted for download, cropped or used for anything other than presentation use. This includes, but is not limited to: Printing, web design or logo use, brochure development, business cards, stationary, newsletters in print or web based.
- Text may be added as needed, colors can be modified, and images can be added.
- Linda no longer provides custom work, BUT if someone needs a specific country map or topic imagery for a presentation, she will provide that A.S.A.P., and post it on the site within 10days.
- Example of something she cannot do would be a missionary specific design such as: Joe and Mary Smith, Missionaries to Quite Ecuador
- She can provide country and/or area specific imagery from her library of ethnic, people group, globe, map and other images.
- The best email is linda@design27.com
