Short-Term Volunteers: Linking Partners in Mission Service around
the World Are you a Presbyterian with skills that
you want to share? Do you have time to give? Do you want to
make a difference? Are you able to make a witness as a Christian
in a specific place overseas for a period of three weeks to
eleven months?
We have the program for you! The International Short-Term
Volunteer Program will link qualified Presbyterians to positions
identified by our partners around the world. We will be doing
this by working with "Links" — organizations
that will work with us to identify possible placements and will
communicate directly with our partners about people who are
available and places where short-term workers are needed. As
we head into this new program, our Links will be:
- Amity Foundation (Summer Only)
- International Presbyterian Education Network
- Medical Benevolence Foundation
- Presbyterian Disaster Assistance
- Presbyterian Border Ministries
Why is the idea of "linking" important?
As a way of realizing our love for the whole body of Christ,
partnership is how we do mission. The Presbyterian Church (USA)
is but part of that body, and we know that our work should be
done in a way that respects our brothers and sisters in other
parts of the world. We do that by listening to what they have
to say. The Presbyterian Church (USA) wants to help connect
you with our partners around the world! We want you to experience
the power of Christ's love as exemplified in the connectional
church. We are called to go out into the world to be examples
of Christ's love. Come and be a part of the body of Christ by
doing mission in partnership with other Christians around the
world.
Join us as an international short-term volunteer!
The new International Short-Term Volunteer Program will begin
this summer. Look for details of our new program on June 1,
2004! In the meantime, we will post updates over the coming
months.
