UMVIM provides opportunities for service by developing and nurturing relationships with domestic and international leaders. We continually nurture our contacts with these leaders to respond to the needs of local communities and 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 email newsletter, the UPDATE, our printed literature, and our Web site. These tools present mission to our current community and potential volunteers, as well as to other United Methodists and Christians. We also provide comprehensive training programs for individuals and team leaders to help them prepare themselves and their teams for the mission field.
