Volunteers In Mission

Acting on faith strengthens disciples. Volunteers In Mission turn faith into action, helping people in need. Projects include basic building maintenance and repair, construction, teaching Bible school and working at United Methodist missions in Kansas and around the world. Find opportunities to participate in group VIM trips and to sign-up for the Individual Volunteers In Mission program through the General Board of Global Ministries.  Or contact Julie Pohl, conference VIM coordinator (see locators below).
