Short Term Mission Trips


When you join an MIA short term work team the pay is Zilch! But the rewards are fantastic!

Click here to get started


Ministries In Action has several work sites throughout the Caribbean and Latin America that welcome short term mission teams.  Participating with MIA as a short term missionary is a great way to experience another part of the world while bringing hope to people who so desperately need it.  If you feel led to participate in one of these opportunities be prepared to roll up your sleeves.  You will spend the majority of your time working at a project site or participating in ministry, but there are also opportunities for shopping and some sight seeing.  No experience or special skills are required.

The dates are flexible and the trips last between one and two weeks.  Right now there are opportunities in Grenada, Dominican Republic, Saint Vincent, Haiti and Jamaica. Each team is accompanied by an MIA coordinator.  Currently we have a pressing need for team of 8 - 25 people.  You can help us by assembling and leading a team or by joining an existing team.  To indicate your interest in short term missions and to request more information about the program please complete the form below.   A week or two donated by you can eternally impact the lives of people who are often overlooked.

Current Short Term Opportunities


Hato Nuevo, Dominican Republic

The main focus of this trip is the completion of an approximately 5,000 sq. ft. medical building to be used by the surrounding low-income community.  Once completed, this facility will allow MIA missionary Dr. Silvia Martinez and her staff to greatly expand the reach of their ministry.  Read more about the clinic here.  Short term missionaries will also have opportunities to evangelize, help with VBS and assist Dr. Silvia and her staff on medical caravans into the surrounding communities.
