 There are many ways one can serve on a mission team. There are no age requirements for some options, you don’t have to have an abundance of money, and going to a mission field is not always necessary. Let’s look at the options: Read More
- Prayer – This is the number one need for all mission teams and those they serve. Prayer is needed for the team to hear God and to do his will, to connect with those they serve in a way that glorifies God, and for their safety and health while on the mission trip. Prayer is needed for those being served to have an open and willing heart to accept the services and the message of God from the mission team, and for their physical, health and circumstantial conditions in which they are living.
- Financial Support – Money is a vital part of any mission trip. Supporting a mission team with our finances makes us an important part of the mission team.
- Donations – A variety of supplies is also needed in many of the mission team destinations. Donating these goods is another way in which we become a much needed part of the team.
- Time – Getting a mission trip organized and the team prepared is a very time consuming project. Much paperwork is needed and many phone calls made. Without this being done, a mission trip would not be accomplished. This is yet another way to become part of the team.
- Go/Serve – Be part of the on-site mission team. Go to the destination of the mission and serve those in need. (Must meet age requirements)
Just as a body is made up of different parts, so is a mission team. Some are able to give their time while others are able to give their finances; some serve with their prayers while others serve those in need.
Upcoming Missions Trips:
Cuba:
Cuba Para Christo!
Peace UMC is joining Trinity Family Lfe Center and Stonybrook UMC for a missions trip to Cuba! The dates of the trip are June 19-26, 2013. We will be working with the Methodist Church in Julio Reyes. Be on the lookout for opportunities to donate items and provide prayers and messages.
Haiti:
 Since 2010, members of PUMC have been working with disabled children in Haiti. In partnership with The Red Thread Promise, Peace has provided love and care for children at St. Vincent’s Center for Handicapped Children in Port-au-Prince by providing supplies for the clinic, school and dormitories. Volunteers have worked in the clinic and served as counselors for Camp Jake—a week-long camp for St. Vincent’s students—which allows campers to explore life in ways that broaden their horizons, create life-long memories, develop character and boost self-confidence in a country that still holds disdain for its most vulnerable citizens. The camp focuses on personal hygiene and care, physical and occupational therapy, as well as music and art therapy while teaching campers skills that may later enable career opportunities. We are in the process of planning a Haiti trip in November 2013.
