about umvim

Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.
- 1 John 3:18

United Methodist Volunteers In Mission (UMVIM), SEJ exists to promote, encourage and enable Christians to exemplify “Christian Love In Action”. Our aim is to achieve the Great Commission through providing short-term mission opportunities for everyday Christians.

UMVIM provides opportunities for service by developing and nurturing relationships with domestic and international leaders. We continually evaluate our contacts with these leaders, to provide comprehensive project information. Our office strives to connect volunteers’ talents to suitable projects for effective service.

UMVIM also promotes and encourages mission through our quarterly newsletter, the UPDATE, our printed literature and Web site. These tools present mission to our current constituents and volunteers, as well as targeting other United Methodists and Christians. We provide training programs for individuals and team leaders to help them prepare themselves and their team(s) for the mission field.
