This trip would allow the worker to make an informed decision about future ministry with Restoration Ministries. | As this is a vision trip, the worker would need to be willing to follow the directions of the staff leaders and be willing to do what they ask. The most important role would be to observe what God is doing through this ministry to discover how the worker might be involved in future ministry. The worker would need to be prepared to accompany RM staff people on their visits and spend a lot of time in a situation where you would not be able to understand what is being discussed. The worker would need to be ready to give a testimony or encouraging word during these visits, when requested.

In some cases it might be possible to stay in a hotel near the Day Center but that is not preferred. | This is a learning opportunity and the worker needs to be willing to do whatever was asked. The person needs to be able to see very poor and distressing situations and still do what is asked. This is not something for a person who is uncomfortable with dirt or seeing slum-like conditions that the children live in. Because of the difficult areas where RM works, this person needs to be able to follow directions and quickly do what is requested without questioning the reason. Above all, this needs to be a person who can extend the love of Jesus to people living in difficult circumstances. This opportunity is not available during the month of January. | 1546 |

| Short / Mid-Term Coordinator-Mentor-Facilitator | 4 Years | Lifetime | Africa | Uganda | Short-term teams can be a significant part of ministry and need to be done very well. Often this is difficult for a missionary who is “hosting” a team, but a ST coordinator can play a great role in making sure the planning and logistics for a team are in place and functioning well so that the team ministry has the greatest opportunity for impact in Uganda- as well as in the lives of the team members.
As a Mid-term Mentor and Facilitator you will facilitate, orient and walk along side mid-term missionaries serving throughout Uganda. Ministry in Uganda has many challenges, and having a mentor to help process these makes a huge difference. You will be an advocate for the mid-term missionary and will help craft their ministry experience. With some time and experience, there is also a great opportunity to design new mid-term and internship openings.
| Coordinate and assist with logistics for ST teams, preparing for housing, transportation and food, in coordination with the hosting missionary.
Meet regularly with each mid-term missionary to reflect on ministry and life in Uganda, with particular attention to where God is “showing up” and what God might be doing in the life of the missionary- prompting change, growth, etc. You will serve as an advocate and facilitator to ensure that the MT missionary’s work, ministry and living situations are optimal. Regular gatherings (both formal and informal- such as retreats, pizza nights and an open home) are vital to building community and relationship.
You will become part of a local church and, depending on the “load” of mid-termers on the field, involved in the ministry of the church.
