The Global Ministries Commission encourages our EC people to take advantage of the Short Term Mission Opportunities that are available all around the world. E.C. Global Ministries cooperates with 18 mission agencies, most of whom offer short term opportunities of various time lengths all over the world. 

In addition, the Global Ministries Commission sponsors numerous work teams throughout the year. Currently we send three teams each summer that serve in Alaska with Victory Ministries. Each team goes for two weeks. The first team goes for the last two weeks of May to Victory Bible Camp, about two hours from Anchorage. The other two teams serve in mid July – mid August at Camp LIWA, which is just outside of Fairbanks. The cost of these teams is only the cost of the airfare. The camp provides room and board in exchange for an 8-hour work day. Opportunities for sightseeing can easily be arranged, but are an additional cost.

2010 Dates for Alaska Work Teams: Victory Bible Camp, Anchorage - May 15-29

Camp LIWA, Fairbanks: July 17-31, July 31 -August 14

Applications can be downloaded from this website, or you can call or email ecglobal@eccenter.com for applications. NEW POLICY - All interested parties must attend a pre-registration meeting. The dates are

Saturday, January 30 for the Victory team, and Saturday, February 13 for LIWA teams. Both meetings will be held at 10 a.m. at E.C. Church Center. A deposit of approximately half the cost of the plane ticket will be due at that time.

The EC Short Stops is published twice a year, in April and October, to make our members aware of opportunities available and what other individuals/churches have done. We hope that you will use this information to network with others as you consider how God may be calling you into short term missions service.
