Short-Term Missions

Serge’s short-term mission teams serve for 1-2 weeks in a wide variety of locations around the world.
Throughout the year, missionaries request assistance from individuals and teams to serve with them in their local communities. These short-term mission trips serve as cultural exchanges, widen global perspectives, and give tangible help to the people in communities where Serge works.
Types of team service include:
- Construction
- English language camps and VBS clubs
- Teaching/discipling of pastors and church leaders
- Sports camps
- Prayer weeks

Why Go Short-Term with Serge?
Meaningful Projects
Support Long-Term Work
We want your trip to be beneficial as possible for all involved — your short-term team, your sending church, and your missionary and international partners. Every team we send participates in important, helpful work that is more than something we could accomplish through financial resources alone.
Community
Development
Frequently, short-term teams can be ineffective, or at worst harmful, to local communities and the materially poor. We see Short-Term teams as more than just an opportunity for spiritual tourism – but avenues that God uses to create lasting change in the lives of team members and the communities they serve.
Renewed Vision for
Missional Living
The effectiveness of a short-term team expands far beyond the scope of the weeks spent overseas. Through serving cross-culturally, you can joyfully re-encounter your own need for the gospel and bring renewed vision and excitement back to local mission engagement.
2021-2022 Short-Term Mission Trips
COVID-19 UPDATE:
As an organization centered around a calling to lay down our lives, we are dedicated to pursuing opportunities to mobilize the next generation into missions. Within the context of the Coronavirus pandemic, that looks like moving forward with 2021-2022 short-term trips while continuing to wisely monitor the progression and impact of COVID-19 on international travel.
We’re faithfully pursuing prayer and seeking input from a gathered team of professionals qualified to speak into decisions surrounding the pandemic; we also believe the Kingdom of God is still being built and he is actively calling people to join him in the work he’s doing worldwide.
Thank you for engaging this tension with us.
