Short-Term
Engage Short-Term through hands-on, real-world ministry serving with an established team and making disciples among those with little-to-no access to the Gospel. Further your understanding of God’s heart for the nations and how He delights to use the gifts, abilities, and passions that He places within each of us to build His kingdom.
If you are interested in exploring whether serving in cross-cultural ministry is what God is calling you to pursue, consider a short-term opportunity with World Team.
