Introduction
We are so excited that you have chosen to take part in a short-term placement with Elim Missions. We believe that short-term placements are a great way to encounter God’s heart for the world and to be a part of the Biblical mandate to all believers in being His witnesses, to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).
Goals
We understand that every placement we offer is unique, however, every placement will be underpinned by these 4 goals to a greater or lesser degree:
-
PROCLAMATION: To serve the purposes of sharing the good news of salvation
-
DISCIPLESHIP: To serve the purposes of discipling local believers and to encourage participants to become Christ-like and missional in their lives.
-
SOCIAL ACTION: To acknowledge missional access points and respond to human need through loving service.
-
SOCIAL JUSTICE: To serve and love all humanity as made in the image of God pursuing peace and reconciliation.
Core Values
We understand that every placement will be unique but by being part of an Elim Missions Short-Term placement we ask all individuals and teams to remember our core values regarding overseas placements:
-
BIBLICAL MANDATE: A distinctive element of short-term placements is an emphasis on Biblical principles and the mandate to be involved in mission.
-
BIBLICAL ATTITUDES: The attitudes of all involved are important and they need to be grounded in Biblical truth and spiritual integrity
-
PARTNERSHIP: Senders, goers and receivers are all participants in the mission and each has an important role.
-
LONG-TERM VISION: Short-term mission is a process and not an event and will facilitate the on going discipleship of the participant and the long-term objectives and activities of the hosts.
