What is a Short-Term Mission Trip?

A short-term mission trip is a volunteer assignment that is less than two months. These mission assignments include a host of ministries by Adventist workers, laypersons, and retirees from Adventist organizations originating in North America. Short-term assignments include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Humanitarian Relief
  
• Evangelistic Efforts
  
• Construction Projects, etc.
  

Who are Short-Term Volunteers?
Short-term volunteers include individuals and groups between the ages of 18 to 79  years old who serve in a volunteer project approved by a church institution. 

Volunteers under the age of 18 may be processed as part of a group, but require permission from their legal guardians.

Group Trips Application Process
