What kind of people are BMS looking for?

• Committed Christians with a desire to share their faith in words and actions
• Team- players who are willing to work in partnership with others
• Flexible when situations change at short notice
• Servant-hearted and willing to get their hands dirty

How will I be supported?

Throughout your time with BMS world mission there will be someone to support you.  You will not be left on your own.
• BMS UK staff will provide overall support
• Your overseas host will offer English – speaking support
• Your team will be a crucial place to give and receive support
• Your church will be praying for you

What does the cost cover?

All BMS teams members will need to be involved in fundraising.  If this seems like a daunting task, don’t be put off.  We give you some top tips on applying for grants, doing sponsored events and useful web pages for ideas.  We have seen God provide in amazing ways.

Costs are worked out so that team members are asked to pay the full amount.  Flights, visas, insurance, food, accommodation and health clearance are all included as well as the cost of training, debriefing and BMS administration overhead.  It does not cover flights & visas, personal spending money, vaccinations, minor medical costs, any insurance excess and travel within the UK.

Why doesn't BMS book flights?

Any organisation that sells flights needs to be ATOL protected.  BMS World Mission is not ATOL protected and therefore cannot sell flights directly to you the traveller.

It would cost a lot of money for BMS to be ATOL protected so we've made the decision not to do this as we would rather our money not be diverted from our mission work.

Therefore we will be asking you to book your own flights, but please wait for information from us before doing this.  Althought we don't book flights for you we'll be there to help you organise them.

Do I have to be a Baptist?

While most team members are from Baptist churches, this is not a requirement. We welcome applications from people of all Christian denominations with a genuine, living and active faith.
