What We Do — Short-Term Ministry
BCM Short-Term Ministry opportunities are used as a tool for teaching and training individuals for a lifetime of service, whether serving the local church or an unknown people group. We have several types of ministry opportunities: camp staff (for international and USA camps), ESL/cultural exchange, street ministry, 5-day Bible Clubs, puppeteering, Bible teacher’s street evangelism, construction work, missionary support staff, and much more. Internships are also available.
The length of our ministry opportunities range from 10 to 90 days with options of 1 to 2 years. For individuals, 6 to 9 months of planning and preparation are necessary, while groups will need 9 to 12 months of planning and preparation. Your preparation time will affect the outcome of your Short Term Ministry experience.
