A mission team is a group sent to work
alongside an MV Field Coordinator to help in the ministry and outreach
of specific projects. Teams vary in size with ages ranging from youth
to senior adults. A team can be built with members from one church or
a composite team for the one to two week trip. Participants are
responsible for their own expenses.
Team leaders work under the supervision of the MV Field
Coordinator to utilize individuals on the team in their areas of
gifting and talents. Itineraries will be established to meet the need
in the area to which the team is going and information packets
relating to the area will be available. The purpose of a mission team
is to share the LOVE and MESSAGE of Jesus Christ.
"Going on a short-term mission team showed me how
it changed the lives of others and it ended up changing me."
Geoff Douglas
Lytham, England
"Missions has changed my point of view so much. It
helps you to begin to see things trough Jesus' eyes."
Ministry teams come alongside the indigenous
pastors and leaders to help them reach their area with the love and
message of Jesus. The MV Field Coordinator in the area will set up the
itinerary for your team prior to arrival, supplying interpreters as
needed.
These teams offer opportunity for musicians, for personal
testimony, preaching, teaching, pastor/leader seminars, youth ministry
and crusade outreaches.
Give God a week of your life - you will never be the same!
The energy and excitement that is generated
from a youth team can have a tremendous impact on a hurting world.
Youth can use their creative talents to evangelize through mime,
drama, puppets, clowns, personal testimonies, VBS and construction
projects.
Youth teams return home with a fresh vision for missions that God
can use to mold and shape their futures.
Medical teams reach out to the desperate physical
and spiritual needs of impoverished people around the world. Through
these teams, needy people experience the loving hand of God as their
physical and spiritual needs are met by doctors, dentists, surgeons,
nurses, pharmacists and auxiliary medical personnel, bringing relief
of pain and a new hope of tomorrow. MV holds medical/dental clinics in
churches, schools, feeding centers and remote communities. Won't you
join us as we work together to advance the kingdom of God through this
healing outreach?
"It's really amazing to see God's hand at work in
situations where in the natural things don't look good. recently on a
construction team...we were having trouble obtaining materials...they
got delivered just as we were running out. Just awesome to see how
much God is really in control of your team."
Construction teams are such a blessing. This is
a way to help local pastors and Christian leaders build churches,
schools, clinics, hospitals and orphanages that create a place and
environment where physical needs can be met as well as spiritual needs
as the people are introduced to Jesus.
The teams work in conjunction with the needs and plans in a
particular location under the supervision of the MV Field Coordinator.
This is one team that may need to raise additional funds for the
purchase of the materials needed for the project at hand. Construction
skills of all kinds (and unskilled workers too) are needed from
pouring cement to electrical work and plumbing.
What an opportunity you will have - to help build a facility that
enables the local believers to fulfill their destiny.
As the Lord opens doors around the world,
opportunities for various projects also open to MV. Each project
provides a way for you to touch the lives of people for Jesus.
Some opportunities include..
Medical clinics
Hospitals
Leprosy clinic
Church buildings
Equipment (medical, micro-enterprise)

Vehicles
Sponsoring such projects impacts and changes lives.

"Medical missions is quite the best way to have one
on one contact with the local people - touch them, not only physically
but also spiritually and with love."
Campbell Millar, M.D.

"...participating on an MV team is like stepping
into the stream of God's love. Everyone who participates gets touched
by His love because God's heart is to bless us as we bless others..."
...Children
Many children in foreign countries are very needy. Your sponsorship
will go toward establishing clinics, feeding centers, hospitals,
schools and orphanages. Each month you will receive information about
a Child of the Month from MV's children's ministries around the world.
Sponsorship only takes a few dollars per month.
...Indigenous pastors These men and women know the
language, culture and people in their area of outreach. Your gift can
help plant a new church, send a pastor to school for training and
enable these leaders to affect more souls for Christ
