MINISTRY OPTIONS

THERE ARE WAYS FOR EVERYONE TO SERVE

Children's Ministry

Minister to children through leading kids' clubs, Vacation Bible School, puppet shows, crafts, Bible stories, sports, skits, and games.

Service Projects

Provide tangible support through your work on various projects from painting, roofing, cement work, tiling, or whatever projects your local partner identifies in the community.

Church Ministry

Worship alongside a local church and participate by providing special music, sermons, testimonies, or help lead Sunday School.

Sports Ministry

Use sports such as soccer, basketball, Frisbee, volleyball, or any large-group game as a platform for building relationships and sharing the gospel.

Prayer Ministry

Bless communities through times of intercession during prayer walks or pray with local churches at a prayer meeting.

School Ministry

During the school year, your team could minister at local schools by leading devotions, tutoring students, observing classes, or participating in recess.

Mercy Ministry

Be the hands and feet of Christ as you visit and minister to those that others may have forgotten in orphanages, hospitals, prisons, and senior centers.

Evangelism

Assist the local church in outreach by handing out Bibles, street evangelism, door-to-door visits, or sharing the gospel through community movie nights.

Youth Ministry

Connect directly with youth in the community by leading a youth rally, fellowship night, or worship.

Adult Ministry

Lead parenting classes, Bible studies, or leadership training. One of our Belizean pastors shared that when you minister to adults, you are ministering to entire families and communities.

Medical Ministry

If your group has specialized medical or dental training, your skills can be of great help in many of our ministry locations. (Note: Due to government regulations, medical ministry is not available everywhere. Please call 888-PPM-4090 to find out more!)
