Mission Organizations

The research is going slowly for a mission organization or humanitarian group to partner with for my initial two year commitment in Africa.


I have open communication right now with Mercy Ships and Africa Inland Mission. I have checked into Peace Corps, International Justice Mission, International Mission Board, Doctors Without Borders, Lahash International , Serving in Mission...I have tried to use Urbana's MSearch and have my resume submitted there. There is also the possibility of seeking to be hired as a nurse by a local African clinic or hospital. All of these organizations are doing wonderful things, it is just that thus far, no single one is standing out from the rest. The magnitude of work to be done in the two years and three months before I leave is weighing on me. The time for submitting my application is now!

Over the past two years I have met many kindred spirits who have served or hope to serve in some capacity in Africa. The number and variety of opportunities are overwhelming, and I am not known for my ability to be quick or decisive. I welcome your thoughts and ideas of other organizations or routes onto the continent. I welcome contact information from friends or family you have there who might shine light on particular areas and organizations. Hopefully soon one organization will stand out from the rest and match the vision and heart that God has given me for the African people.

Thank you!
