We look forward to hearing from you!
Aged 20-30? The Global Mission Fellows programme might be for you. It is a great opportunity to serve in another country, to live out your faith and develop as a leader committed to justice and peace. The 2-year programme is open to graduate-level (or equivalent) young adults from Britain, Ireland and around the world. If your application is successful, you will train with other Global Mission Fellows then take up a placement with a church or Christian organisation engaged in social justice in a country different from your own. Through regular supervision, reviews and mid-term training you will be encouraged to reflect on and learn from your experience, and to live out the programme’s three core values:
- Engage with the community
- Connect the church in mission
- Grow in personal and social holiness
The Methodist Church in Britain (MCB) is running Global Mission Fellows in partnership with the United Methodist Church (UMC). Fellows receive a living allowance in line with the programme’s “simple living” ethos and are provided with local accommodation. Most costs are covered by the programme, with the expectation that Fellows fundraise a contribution each year.
