Purpose

“Christian Love in Action”.  To make a Christian difference by sharing the love of Christ through our

participation in short-term mission.

 

Task

Our task is what we do with our abilities; building a church or home, providing medical care, teaching

vacation bible school.  Our task is always secondary to our purpose.

  

 

 

"The team members felt a closeness to each other and the people we served. There was a strong feeling, despite economic differences, that the people we helped were strong Christians and we could feel the power of God's work."

"We are the hands and feet of Christ when we serve with rather than do things for the "poor underdogs" or the "needy"."

"Camp Mekokiko is a wonderful vision in progress for building the only UM camp in the Pacific.  Given that camp is easily available in Missouri, I believe we should help make camp accessible in Hawaii."

"Carla Gonzalez and Angie of VIM Guatemala were very helpful and instrumental in making this mission trip so successful. Our transportation, lodging and interpretation services all were excellent. The quality of the construction of the school was beyond my expectations."
