Saturday, August 22, 2009 from 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM (CT)
Interested in leading a mission team, but don’t know where to start? The Atlanta-based office of United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (SEJ) will be leading a Team Leader Training on Saturday, August 22 from 10 am - 3 pm at Church Street UMC in Selma, AL. Participants will receive a wealth of information on preparing an UMVIM team for service, including such topics as effective project selection, spiritual development, cultural sensitivity for teams, logistics, and finance.
Included in the $40 registration fee is the UMVIM Team Leader Handbook which will be provided to you at the training weekend. This training is open to all Alabama-West Florida United Methodists, and it satisfies training requirements for leading a VIM team. Registration is online at www.umvim.org/training. For more information, contact Dalton Rushing in the UMVIM office at 404-377-7424 or dalton_rushing@umvim.org.
Participating in the training does not obligate you to lead a team, but will help you understand the fundamentals of team leadership and will enrich any future Mission experiences you have. You will also gain ideas on places around the world where you can serve.
Maybe you do not think you are qualified to lead a team, or have doubts about your ability to lead a team. Answering God’s call to mission is not about feeling equipped or worthy; instead it is about trusting the God who called you to use you as you are. Participating in God’s Mission is the call of every Christian. Your willingness to serve can and will transform your life, the lives of those who go with you, and your congregation as well. United Methodist Volunteers In Mission can be a vital tool in helping you and your church be more effective as partners in God’s Mission to a hurting and broken world, whether you take a team down the street to your own community or across the globe.
Creating Hands-on Adventures in Faith and Service for the Cause of Christ - United Methodist Volunteers In Mission, SEJ, places volunteers in short-term service opportunities around the world. The motto is "Christian Love in Action" sejinfo@umvim.org 404-377-7424
