Mission International Teams: November 2009

Friday, 6 November 2009

Mission International's mission team to the Maasai people in Kenya is gaining ground. A small number of prospective team members have already expressed and interest and have taken the first step of completing and submitting an application form after enquiring about the team. Now others are keen to get on board too.
If you would like to put your name forward then please contact us for more information on mail@mission-international.org or complete an application form by clicking here.

Our intention, as part of the support given to the Maasai people would be to provide Bibles in their local language at a cost of approximately £5 each. If you would like to contribute to this please use the one-off donation or regular giving bank mandate links on the right hand column of this page.

Service Abroad!

Introduction:
You may feel called to serve God in the developing world and you may want to talk over what that might mean for you and look at some of the options that are out there. You may even be at the place where you would like to make a visit to a project and see how you get on over a short term of a few weeks.

Options: Mission International can provide various options in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, India and Pakistan which you might like to consider:

Bible Teaching: Many churches would welcome those who can teach the Bible and implement discipleship schemes since quality developmental teaching is often scarce.

Children's Ministry: Many children in the developing world are treated as second class citizens. Children are forced to sit through incredibly long services which don't reach their age group, or are allowed to run around outside the church wasting the time until the adults have concluded their business. Many churches do not provide anything for children at all and so skills in developing this vital church ministry and working amonst the children as well as the adults are essential.

Short Term Teams - Mission teams are usually deployed for 2-3 weeks. Team members are recruited from throughout the UK and can come from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups. It is possible to plan a team from one local church or other community organisation who would like to serve together abroad.

Medium Term options: The chance to serve for a slightly longer period of a few months up to a year getting more deeply involved in the on-going work of Mission International and partner projects.

Long-Term Service: Mission International as yet has no long-term missionaries but we are willing to talk over what that might mean for you and it may be that a plan can be worked out for you to serve God abroad.

Medical Electives: Many medical students seek safe and worthwhile locations to serve as they learn more of tropical medicine and enjoy a few months in a different culture and community.

Contact: Please contact us if you are interested in any of the above or would like to discuss any other issues relating to international service. Our email address is mail@mission-international.org
