Today the goal of our church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you\u201d (John 20:21, KJVS)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christ commanded them to go on a mission always and everywhere, where it is possible. Being mission-focused is one of the main characteristics of the Methodist church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reality of our time is that few of us have an opportunity to devote all their life to a missionary service. Lately, the interest for long-term missions and their support greatly decreased. However, good news is that most of the churches report about the growing interest to short-term missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short-term missions is an effective way for Christians to serve, using you gifts and talents, no matter whether you are a nurse, or an accountant, a student or a bus driver. One of the ways to serve God is to be a volunteer, a part of a missionary team during vocation time. Short-term missions give us an opportunity to grow in faith, break barriers of cultural differences and other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year Eurasia UMC provides several short-term mission opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Tyumen UMC \u00abSalvation\u00bb needs Christian leaders for the development of mission in the neighboring villages. Another mission opportunity in Tyumen is to help in organization of summer children\u2019s and youth retreats. Also, those who are skilled in construction work are invited to work on finishing several rooms in a church building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img-fotki.yandex.ru\/get\/26767\/12729575.25\/0_bf5f7_a21d05a1_XL.jpg\" alt=\"\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043b\u043e\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f \u043f\u043e \u043c\u0438\u0441\u0441\u0438\u044f\u043c - \u0414\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0432\u043d\u044f \u0422\u044e\u043c\u0435\u043d\u044c 2.jpg\"\/><figcaption><em>\u00abMission opportunity \u2013 Villages of Tyumen 2\u00bb<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/umc-eurasia.ru\/ru\/event\/voronezh-kristall-14-20-avgusta-2016\">Christian Retreat Center \u201cChrystal\u201d in Voronezh plans remodeling and invites volunteers.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img-fotki.yandex.ru\/get\/126937\/12729575.25\/0_bf5f9_b103a476_XL.jpg\" alt=\"\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043b\u043e\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f \u043f\u043e \u043c\u0438\u0441\u0441\u0438\u044f\u043c - \u041a\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043b.jpg\"\/><figcaption><em>\u00abMission opportunities &#8211; Chrystal\u00bb<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Stavropol UMC develops of ministry to the gypsy children.
