Mission Teams
Mission Teams Ministry
UCI is passionate about the Mission Teams Ministry. God works through the sender, the team member, and the receiver in short-term mission teams, all of which are very important.
There are three main reasons that we love having mission teams as part of our ministry:
- Having teams help us with our mission on the ground brings hands, hearts, and resources to help us continue our work of community improvement, evangelism, and outreach of many kinds. Many people have come to accept Jesus as their Savior through the words and actions of team members wanting to share the love of God.
- Having mission teams allows others from across the globe to go, see, and respond! We know that lives are changed in Haiti, but also the lives of team members who come to minister to Haitians. Many team members were so touched by seeing God at work, they chose to do ministry for the rest of their lives. There is something about leaving one's comfort zone that allows your eyes to be opened to how God is at work.
- Having mission teams allows us to unite Christians around the world! Our Haitian Board points out that most Haitians are not able to leave their country. When mission teams come to Haiti, they have an opportunity to interact and have fellowship with their brothers and sisters from other countries.
It truly is not about the money that is spent, it is all about the relationships and seeing God at work!
