The purpose of Volunteers In Mission (VIM) is to share the love of Jesus Christ in ways that make a Christian difference
That is the goal of every mission team that goes to missions in Oklahoma, nationally and all over the world.
If you have a desire to make a meaningful difference; if you have a heart that is filled with compassion for the disadvantaged, the marginalized, the oppressed; if you want to respond to the love Jesus Christ has poured out on you, there is no better way than to offer yourself to God in mission.
