Introduction
Vancouver Chinese Evangelical Free Church (VCEFC) encourages members to do short-term missions with endorsed agencies. Duration ranges from two weeks to two years. Teams usually go out in the summer, from May to August. Limited financial assistance may be granted upon request.
Endorsed Agencies
VCEFC endorses short-term missions organized by mission entities of Evangelical Free Church such as Evangelical Free Church of Canada Mission and Evangelical Free Church of America International Mission. The following non-EFC agencies are also endorsed:
- Breakthrough
- Campus Crusade for Christ (CCC)
- Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF)
- Chinese Christian Mission (CCM)
- CGBC
- Chinese Overseas Christian Missions (COCM)
- Evangelical Medical Aid Society (EMAS)
- Go International
- Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF)
- Medicare Resources
- Overseas Missions Fellowship (OMF)
- Serving in Mission (SIM)
- Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT)
To facilitate participation in short-term missions, the Missions Department regularly collects relevant information from endorsed agencies.
Financial Assistance
Each year VCEFC budgets an amount to subsidise short-term mission participants. Approval of all applications for financial assistance is based on the current Short-term Missions Funding Policy. To avoid unnecessary delays due to missing information, applicants are encouraged to download and read through the Policy before submitting their application.
Application Forms
All applicants must fill out an application either in English or in Chinese and return it to the Missions Department. In addition, a signed Waiver of Liability is required of all applicants. (This is in addition to the documents listed in the Policy.) Applicants under 18 must also submit a Parental Consent Form.
Application Deadlines
For opportunities with endorsed agencies, the application deadline is three months before departure. For opportunities with all other agencies, please contact the Missions Department at least four months before departure.
