Our vision for evangelizing North America and planting healthy, reproducing churches will not be realized until every Southern Baptist becomes an on-mission Christian. Volunteers in Missions includes everyone who is interested in some type on non-paid mission effort. Below are listed the major types of service that are available. Many raise their support. This includes bi-vocational ministers and church staff members.
Many volunteers serve multiple times each year.
Construction Teams -Requests for church construction assistance are coordinated with adult volunteer groups and individuals. Approximately 350 requests are received annually to aid in building growing churches. Disaster Relief -Approximately 15,000 adult volunteers have been trained by state conventions to respond to national disasters, often in cooperation with the American Red Cross. Volunteers usually are affiliated with task-specific disaster relief units operated by state conventions and local associations. Responsibilities include food preparation, cleanup and recovery, repair and rebuild, communications, crisis counseling, and childcare.
