In addition to the above requirements and qualifications, a VMM missioner needs a loving knowledge of her/himself and a genuine concern for others. Working, living, and learning in a cross-cultural setting demands that the missioner listen first, and then act — remaining open to different ways of living and perceiving the world. Flexibility and a sense of humor are a must. They provide the missioner with an ongoing openness to entering a new culture as a stranger and a guest in a new land.
If you meet these requirements, we invite you to complete the Application Form. You can download, open, and print out a Word version of the form and return it to us by email, fax or mail. Application should be emailed to Vic Doucette.
