Your team’s mission may be repairing homes after a disaster, building a school in another country or serving food and distributing clothes to those in need in your own town.

You may be teaching a Vacation Bible School class for a church that does not have the resources to do it themselves or at one of our New England Mission sites or you might take the challenge to host an UMVIM team at your church to perform local mission in your community or investigate other opportunities further away (nationally or internationally). There are so many mission opportunities and so many ways to serve the least, the lost, the discouraged, the devastated or the last.

So what are you waiting for?

The 1996 General Conference established the Mission Volunteers Program Area (of which UMVIM is a part) within the General Board of Global Ministries, with instructions to enable the participation of Methodists throughout the world in global mission volunteer programs so that affirming, empowering, and trusting relationships would be established. The strength of this movement gains momentum day by day as the worldwide Church prepares to send and receive those who want to make the love of God visible, meaningful, supportive, and redemptive.
