This page provides a flavour of the dozens of organisations offering opportunities for short-term mission activities. The Gold Hill Cross-cultural team is available to discuss this further if you would like to do so. You can contact us in person or write to global@goldhill.org
Youth With A Mission (YWAM)

Amnos Ministries – Arise Mission
Arise is an exciting evangelism campaign held annually since 2015, providing inspiration, training and mobilising people to work together to share the Gospel with communities across the UK. Outreach teams are sent from churches around the world to come and work alongside local churches in the UK and Spain.
WEC (Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ)
WEC’s Short Term Mission programme is geared to fuel your passion for God through hands-on service. A mission like this can be life-changing.
iNet
iNet is a small mission agency with a big difference. We believe that world mission is primarily the responsibility of the local church hence our strapline “supporting local churches in global mission”.

Minnis Bay

Wycliffe Bible Translators
You don’t need to be a full-time missionary to make a difference. A task like Bible translation is so immense and so important, it doesn’t just belong to a few people. It belongs to all of us as Jesus commanded in Mark 16:15. By volunteering your time, expertise and experience, you can join the work God is doing among communities and churches worldwide, and the impact will be exponential!
You won’t be stuck doing menial tasks! All our volunteers are full members of their teams, providing critical skills, insight and value no matter how long they serve. All we ask in return is that you bring your commitment to Christ, your desire for humble collaboration and your passion that all people might access God’s Word. We have opportunities in everything from marketing and communications to administration, finance, management, childcare, healthcare and more.
Operation Mobilisation (OM)
Wherever you are in your faith journey, and whatever stage of life, Operation Mobilisation (OM) are able to connect you with global mission opportunities to discover, develop and apply your God-given gifts as you step out to serve Him. Includes short term opportunities 1 week to 1 year and their Reach, gap year programme.
Latin Link
Partnering with churches to share the love and hope of Jesus in Latin America and Europe. Latin Link provides opportunities to serve on mission as a team, as an individual, or as a couple or family.
Crosslinks
We believe every Christian has been sent into the world to declare God’s glory and we’d love you to get involved. Beyond our national borders there are countless opportunities for you to use your time and gifts in service of God’s global mission.
Short-term mission gives you a taste of overseas gospel work. You’ll explore cross-cultural ministry, grow spiritually and widen your perspective of the global church. It’s a great way to ‘test-the-waters’ for longer-term mission work or use a limited time-period to play your part in God’s plan for the world. Opportunities from 2 weeks to 2 years
European Christian Mission (ECM)
Short-term can be anywhere from 1 to 3 months, and we call it medium-term when you go from 3 months to 2 years. In any of these scenarios, you can serve alongside our long term missionaries and help share God’s love with people who don’t know Jesus. And we’ll walk alongside you as you do.
Frontiers (Muslim World)
Our short term trips are designed to help you test the water for long term ministry. Spend time with long term workers, pray for unreached peoples, meet locals and put your skills to use
AWM- Pioneers
We have church-planting teams across North Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the UK. In recent years, we have seen God do amazing things in the Arab world, answering prayers and drawing people to Himself in remarkable ways, despite challenges and opposition.
Would you like to encourage the Church to grow in a difficult environment and use your passions and gifts to bless communities with huge spiritual needs?
There are a number of exciting ways for you to start getting involved with what God is doing.
Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF)
Our programme of short term mission trips is called Serve Asia. It’s for anyone who wants to experience a cross-cultural work in East Asia. Going on a Serve Asia trip will enrich your faith in Jesus as you see how God is at work in East Asia. It can also open up possibilities for using your skills to serve God. Join us and find your place in mission.
Interserve
God is on the move among the peoples of Asia & the Arab World, wherever they are. He invites you to play your part.
By serving short term as part of the Interserve community, God can use you to make a real difference using your skills, experience and passion. As you serve, God will transform your heart and you will grow as His disciple.
