At Providence, Jesus is the Focus.
Because of the transforming work of Jesus Christ and his power to redeem, the Holy Spirit may lead you to pursue a short term mission trip. This is a phenomenal step, but one that should not be done alone. A missions calling, whether short term or long term, is done in the community of the local church.
We believe disciples are made, not born, therefore the Missions Oversight Team seeks to disciple and guide people interested in missions.
Please reach out to the Missions Oversight Team by emailing Jordan@providencewc.

We are going to Mexico to serve with Tom and Sandy Basile in two important ways. First, we are looking for people to create and help run a fun, vacation Bible school-like program for 40 plus orphans at a water park. We will be camping at the park and spending time loving, listening, and playing with the kids. The second project is to help Tom with a construction project. All skills and skill levels would be appreciated and used. This trip will be a great fit to learn about a different culture and missions with a parent. It would be also be a good trip for those with plumbing, electrical, or construction skills.

Our real desire is for visitors to engage with Neema in the long-term, not just during the Neema visit.
