You too can journey with MISSION DIRECT and become a MISSION VOLUNTEER. All ages and no skills required, just a desire to respond to Jesus's command to GO. We, at MISSION DIRECT, will help make it happen. Please read on to find out more. . .

MISSION DIRECT is a Christian Charity enabling mission volunteers to travel and bring practical help and spiritual hope to those in desperate need. We go to places where poverty is overwhelming. Yet together we can impact the lives of individuals and communities, making a real difference.

As a MISSION VOLUNTEER you will learn more about yourself, the world and what God is doing in people's lives. You will have opportunity to share your faith and feel your faith grow. You will be able to encourage others, including your local church, in mission both at home and overseas.

You can join a prayer network that support the mission, its ministry and all the volunteers and staff.

MISSION DIRECT is currently looking for Home team volunteers to work at the Luton head office and Overseas Staff to work with us for a minimum of 3 months in the field. If you are interested or want to know more please click on this link: STAFF NEEDED

Mission Direct’s distinctive qualities include:

• 100% of all money raised by team members that exceeds their sponsorship contribution, goes into the project they are helping;
• Many of our staff are self-funding such that excellent value for money is attained;
• We do not own projects or control our partners. We seek out local groups and join them in what they are doing, often to refurbish or extend facilities;
• By taking a relay of teams and building long term relationships so much more is achieved.
