The common characteristic of volunteers is a desire to serve and a willingness to share the gospel as part of a work team, medical team, or as individual volunteers.
Projects exist at the local, conference, national, and international levels.
Interested persons may serve in a variety of settings and locations working with local Christians and affiliated agencies around the world. Churches, districts, and conferences sponsor volunteer teams for service around the world for periods averaging from 1 to 2 weeks. Team leaders and their sponsors determine the destination, schedule, team size and other aspects of their trip at the request of local churches in areas with a need for teams. A great way for interested volunteers to get involved is to join an existing team. Those persons with experience on a team may seek to become team leaders.
