Short Term
Go Teams ~ 1-3 week teams carrying out strategic ministry to strengthen ministries of GBIM church-planting teams around the world.

X Teams ~ X Teams are a more "extreme" or rugged version of GO Team. They typically minister in areas where comforts cannot be guaranteed, and a team member may be required, for example, to hike great distances.

Internships ~ Missionary internships, lasting anywhere from 1 to 12 months, provide cross-cultural ministry and the opportunity to be mentored by an experienced worker.



Long Term
Term missionary ~ Term missionaries do basically the same thing career missionaries do but with a commitment of 1-4 years.

Career missionary ~ Career missionaries are ministry professionals who are committed to missionary service as a career. Education and specific ministry skills can be a requirement depending on the ministry to be engaged. This is a highest level of mutual commitment between a missionary and GBIM.

Categories with Short & Long Term Options
SOWers ~ (Serving Overseas Workers) As a SOWer, you serve from two weeks to one year, providing strategic assistance to your missionaries on the field as you gain real-life experience in overseas ministry. SOWers use skills such as teaching, auto mechanics, typing, and contribute to the ministry through contact making and evangelism.

LINC ~ As you learn Spanish in an immersion-type setting (no previous Spanish required), LINC (Latin Internships in New Church-planting) gives you up to a year of cross-cultural ministry experience working with experienced church-planters.

Special Assignment ~ Use your skills in part-time ministry via short term trips lasting from weeks to months. In between trips the ministry continues "long distance". Special Assignment missionaries are strategically integrated into the missionary plan on the field, often funding their ministries through support raising.
