Vosburg is president of the Southern Tier Council of Men for Missions International. Formed in the mid-1950s, the organization aims to give laymen the opportunity to be directly involved in overseas missionary activity. Its members travel to foreign missions sponsored by OMS International, Greenwood, Ind., the parent organization of Men for Missions. They assist by constructing or repairing buildings, installing technical equipment or participating in worship services. The Southern Tier Council has 15 members, including United Methodists, Baptists, Christian and Missionary Alliance, and Church of the Nazarene.
Volunteers pay their own expenses to the foreign missions.
Vosburg's travels have taken him to Spain, Mexico, South Korea, Hong Kong, Hungary, Russia, Haiti and the Philippines. In 1988, Vosburg, a retired IBM system analyst and programmer, wrote and installed a computer message system in mission computers in Spain. It was gratifying when the missionaries saw a message go to headquarters in a few minutes rather than depending on the mail to deliver it. Men for Missions welcomes men who possess all kinds of skills. Lowell VanVorce of Binghamton contributes his building expertise.
