Mission Direct

About

Mission Directs ethos is best summed up by the story of the little boy who saw thousands of dying starfish on a beach. He started to pick them up and throw them back in the sea. “What are you doing?” his mother asked – “How can you hope to make any difference here?” The boy looked in his mother’s eyes and said “Well, I made a difference to that one and that one…”

Like that little boy, every Mission Direct volunteer has an opportunity to improve individual lives. During two life-changing weeks, whether it is building a home for a poor family, a classroom for children hungry to learn or, a shelter for a disabled person, one by one, different acts of kindness make a powerful impact to every individual in need.

Mission Direct enables teams of volunteers to show God’s love in practical ways by participating in local projects that benefit communities in some of the world’s poorest countries.
