"The purpose of Volunteers In Mission is to share the love of Jesus Christ in ways that make a Christian difference"

That is the goal of every mission team that goes to missions in Oklahoma, nationally and all over the world.

If you have a desire to make a meaningful difference; if you have a heart that is filled with compassion for the disadvantaged, the marginalized, the oppressed; if you want to respond to the love Jesus Christ has poured out on you, there is no better way than to offer yourself to God in mission.

Interested? Want more information? We hope the Holy Spirit has touched you to think about helping.

Is God calling you?

Do you want to spend more time on a mission team than the usual 1-2 weeks, but don't think you are ready to become a full-time missionary? The United Methodist Church and Oklahoma Volunteers In Mission, in partnership with churches and institutions in the USA and other countries, has identified opportunities for individual volunteers, either single or as married couples.

God sends thousands of people into short-term mission in Oklahoma and around the world each year.

Team Leaders are well-trained laity and clergy who recruit and direct teams for mission.

Successful completion of OK VIM Team Leader Training is required for persons to be entrusted with this responsibility.

 Team Leaders usually qualify for full scholarship on missions they lead.
