Short-term volunteers - a few months to 2 years

The most flexible of our individual programmes you can serve for a few months up to 2 years.

Career break… post-university gap year… retirees… change of career… looking for a new challenge… whatever your circumstances, we'll find the right placement for you. There is no 'typical' volunteer, no 'average' placement and no fixed schedule that you have to fit into.

Apply for and start your placement at any time in the year

Go to countries across Asia, Africa, Europe and South America

Spend from a couple of months to two years serving God

Qualified or not, have a placement tailor-made to use your skills to the full

Work alongside BMS partners or personnel

You will need to meet the exact cost of the placement. BMS provides the set-up and administration, residential preparation in UK, pastoral support overseas and debriefing all free of charge.

"It has been a privilege to literally be a part of the worldwide church, to stand side by side with Albanian Christians and be challenged by their enthusiasm and commitment. How can we live our faith more effectively in our home country?

So, as we return, we will see the place we left last year in the light of all that we have experienced here - having stepped in and out of another world which will carry on without us, but a part of which will come with us and remain forever

"It completely superceded my expectations - it has been the most challenging, fantastic time of my life. I felt completely accepted and loved in Trapiá, something I did not expect
