Serve Missionary Families Europe | May 19-26

The Europe Area Retreat will be held May 19-26 in Rhodes, Greece at the Akti Imperial. This is a time for missionaries and their families to step away from their daily routines for a time of refreshment for their souls through fellowship with other servants of the Lord.

Throughout the week, missionaries with families will need individuals to care for their children, specifically ages of infant through 9 years old. MTW's Member Care team is asking for volunteers who are gifted in childcare to serve for a week, providing programs and activities for various age groups.

What is required?
Each participant must complete a child protection training course or provide documentation that you have recently taken a course. You will be asked to raise your own finances to cover transportation to the retreat, food, and lodging for the week.

Where will we stay?
Akti Imperial

Can I bring my family so we can serve together?
Yes, we encourage making this a family mission experience! However, please consider whether children can actively participate in the care of the missionaries' children, or if they will add to the number of children needing care.

Will there be free time to experience the area?
There will be plenty of time for you to enjoy the beauty of the area in between scheduled childcare times.

Project Cost:
$2,500, plus airfare. During your day off, as a way of saying thank you, MTW will cover the cost for you to participate in one of the offered planned excursions. It is recommended to bring $200 for your personal spending.

How many volunteers are needed?
Eight individuals will be needed.
