Tithe Your Career: Following Jesus among the nations in the first years of your career, by Paul Van Der Werf and Katy White, GoCorps, 2025. 156 pages.
“Here you are in your twenties with mobility and a [university] degree—a superpower and a superblessing. The big question is: does God have a special purpose in mind for your superpower and superblessing?”
This brief but inspiring book introduces us to a handful of college-educated Gen-Z Christians who decided to move overseas to invest the first two years of their careers as an offering to the Lord. They don’t consider themselves missionaries, but simply call themselves goers.
The authors make a winsome case for such a move, illustrating the many benefits of such an investment and addressing challenges and obstacles. Could this be a good path for someone you know?
Since GoCorps is a mobilization and placement organization that does exactly what this book describes, I wondered if the book would feel too self-promotional to use widely, and I am happy to report it does not.
On the other hand, GoCorps is worth checking out. They partner with about 15 ministries offering two-year commitments (for U.S. citizens or residents) around the world.
Learn more or buy the book. You will also find a book discussion guide and other helpful articles and resources on the GoCorps website.
Long out of your twenties, but intrigued by the idea of tithing your career? It’s not too late. Check out OnCorps, a new initiative for people in their thirties through their eighties.
