Team Five Morris

Here is a quick video describing what it will take if you are interested in joining our efforts in Uganda next year.

It covers mission trip costs, a breakdown of how that money is used and interesting and insightful interviews from individuals who have participated in short-term missions with International Messengers.

If you would like to see how God can use you in the world, teaming up with us is a great place to start. A visit with us offers you the opportunity to roll up your sleeves and invest in something bigger than yourself; to discover a world where God is at work in wonderful ways, and to be a part of it. With a flexible attitude and a servant’s heart, you’ll be a blessing to many, and you’ll come home blessed as well.  

Trips and projects vary widely. Every effort is made to match your gifts and abilities to an assignment that will suit you well. There are needs in teaching, medicine, engineering and construction, office and administrative work, agriculture and community development, technical support and more. You simply come to lend a hand in whatever way you're called to.

Individuals - You tell us the kind of ministry you'd like to be involved in, how long you'd like to serve, where you'd like to serve, and when you want to go. Then we do our best to find a project that combines your desires with the needs on the field. Opportunities exist in the areas of Administration, Agriculture, Church Work, Community Development, Education, Engineering, Finance, Health Care, Missionary Kids, Theological Education, and Youth Work. We'd be glad to explore other possibilities with you.

Teams - Being part of a mission team is an excellent opportunity to serve while establishing quality interpersonal relationships with other team members and nationals. You'll need to be willing to give up personal rights and be vulnerable and accountable to the team. Together, you'll make a difference in each others' lives and in the lives of those you serve here in Uganda. Team ministries can include:  Construction, Discipleship, Medical Ministries, Prison Ministry, Sports Ministry, Teaching, Youth Ministry, and Prayer Teams.
