Your journey to serving
Short term
Our short term programme is designed to allow you to explore mission. We see it as part of your journey into considering whether long term service could be for you. It is a great practical way to get started and it gives you the opportunity to be part of what God is doing in Africa.
If you’re over 18 then there are so many ways to get involved. Placements range from two weeks to twelve months and are designed to encourage you in your relationship with God, as you rely on him in a new environment.
