Some questions for you…

•   Are you ready for a life changing experience?
•  Are you a good listener and observer?
•  Are you looking for an experience of getting to know people in a different culture?
•  What skills do you have that you might offer to the hosts in Sierra Leone or Liberia?
•  Are you willing to do whatever is asked of you whether it is exactly what you want to do?
•  Will you share the story when you get home?

Why would anyone want to volunteer in Sierra Leone or Liberia?

•  To be exposed to and immersed in a different culture.
• To walk beside sisters and brothers to better understand their culture.
• To get a better understanding of why would the church in the US be in partnership with the UMC in Sierra Leone and Liberia.
• To be an interpreter for the ministry within your local church back home.

Team leaders must be trained if you plan to lead a team on your own, or you may volunteer with a team already in the process. Team training and orientation are mandatory.
