Global Volunteers
Volunteer missionaries are normally self-supporting. Any financial support or benefits are negotiated prior to assignment on a case-by-case basis. BICWM may issue receipts for funds.
- Short-term Global Volunteers serve for a period of one month to one year and typically do not receive financial support or benefits. In situations where BICWM requests a ministry assignment, the Short-term Global Volunteer may serve less than one month.
- Long-term Global Volunteers serve in a missionary assignment. These persons meet the same basic qualifications as outlined for the Missionary. Each term of service is for a mutually acceptable period of more than one year but not exceeding three years. Health benefits may be negotiated. Retirement contributions may be negotiated for long-term volunteers serving in the second of two consecutive terms totaling more than six consecutive years.
