The Role of a Short Term Missionary

Families affected by disability in other countries, in most cases, have lost hope. They have no place to turn, often no one to help, not even the church. Family Retreats can help change that. We want to give them a safe place to go where they can relax, find encouragement, and strengthen their family.

Short Term Missionaries (STMs)–people just like you–serve as the hands and feet of Jesus, offering practical help and assistance to each family.

If you join us, you'll help families experience all the excitement of being at camp: the recreation, the crafts, the games, and the outdoors. Together with other STMs you'll set an example of having fun and being still enough to hear the voice of God.

STMs are assigned to a particular family to assist them with some of their needs throughout each day of the retreat. They also help with the child and youth programs and may assist in other retreat duties based on their individual skills.

During the day you'll provide servant leadership with the children and youth…allowing moms and dads to attend seminars, hear passionate biblical teaching, and enjoy time together as a couple. It won’t be all work, you'll have free time in the afternoon to rest or enjoy fellowship with other volunteers. Then after free time you'll join back up with your family for exciting evening events.

Through the simplicity of your service, you'll have the opportunity to build relationships where you can share the gospel…helping others find hope in Jesus.
