SHORT TERM MISSIONS

In it's report on Global Missions, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada confirmed:

"When we compared churches that have a growing missions program and those that do not, we discovered some interesting differences. Simply put, churches that have seen growth in the past five years have short-term mission teams high on their agenda."

Loads of Love coordinates over 10 short term mission teams each year. Team sizes range from three to twenty-seven. Team activities are generally split into three main categories:

- reaching out to orphans and seniors;
- renovation and building projects; and
- evangelism, teaching and preaching.

Both the overseas and local churches win in these ventures. The overseas church benefits from the practical projects and growing partnerships, plus, every short term missioner comes back home and says, "I feel like they gave us so much more than we gave them."

Sometimes short term missionaries come for longer terms of 3 to 8 months - and some even end up staying on as full-time missionaries!

Please contact us if you, or your church are serious about a short term missions project or assignment.
