Mission Volunteer Opportunities: New Website Feature
Written: 5/28/2010
The AWF Conference website has an exciting new feature – a listing of mission volunteer opportunities! The best part about this new feature is that any church, organization, or mission agency may submit a mission opportunity and anyone can search these listings to find ways to connect to a mission opportunity. Once a submission is approved through a quick review process, it will appear within the listings.
“Local” opportunities include anything within the bounds of the AWF Conference. These will typically be opportunities with our own mission agencies and organizations.
“National” opportunities are outside of our conference but still within the United States.
The “International” opportunities section is designed to list church mission teams from our conference traveling to destinations outside of the United States which are open to receiving team members from outside of their church.
Each opportunity is also categorized as Disaster Response, Evangelism, Health, or Work team. Just click on the title of each opportunity to find more information.
Find this easily on the conference Website by clicking “Mission Volunteer Opportunities" from the "Features" list on the home page of the conference website. Or get there directly through this link: www.awfumc.org/volunteeropportunities.
This is a useful tool for any size church! Larger churches may have international mission teams that have room for extra team members from other churches. Smaller churches may have a few members looking for a team to join. All churches of any size can find opportunities listed within the conference. This is our connectional system at work! For questions, please contact Susan Hunt.
