The Middle East Short Term Service Over many decades when travel across the globe was limited to the rich, the best way by which interested people came to know about the work and workers in the Middle East, was through MECO publicity materials. Home countries, prayer groups and new candidates obtained their information third hand, always dependant upon the materials which come from the ME itself. For a number years now, the gaining of that same information has been through personal experience in the Middle East through a short time of service, rather than through publicity materials.
Short terms can be from a few months to three years, as compared to a lifetime commitment.
This has made it possible to glean first hand things that once were only read about. MECO's Short Term programme facilitates these Middle East visits for short spans of service, often resulting in life-changing renewal of focus for faith and service for an even longer period of time. A number of short termers have actually now become career workers. MECO can accommodate those equipped forspecial tasks , e.g. computer technology , teaching as a second language , medical work , or even language study.
