As we live out our mission of being “Sent to restore”, we seek to engage with people, locally and globally, so that they may discover the love of Jesus. In 2026, our Global Partners Team has vetted four short-term opportunities for you to learn about and serve in the countries of Zambia, Japan, and Kosovo and also in West Virginia. We encourage you to pray about these opportunities, asking God if and where he would have you go.
DaySpring Camp and Community, West Virginia — June 6-13, 2026
Dayspring is a place where people can come to serve no matter their ministry experience, age, or skill level. We minister to the surrounding community primarily through construction projects. In addition, we have opportunities for local community engagement, including Bible Clubs, sports camps, and nursing home ministry. Our unique ministry allows participants from various age groups to serve and grow together. Our main purpose is to love people the way Jesus did—by being present with a heart ready to listen, serving others through practical means, and building disciples.
