As an international community, VMM has offices in the USA (Wisconsin) and Europe (Ireland, with satellite offices in England and Scotland). The USA office sends missioners to Central America and the European office sends missioners primarily to Africa. Our missioners serve in ministry for two year terms, in collaboration with our Project Partners – grassroots NGOs, non-profit organizations, or with programs sponsored by religious congregations.

VMM missioners enter into a special relationship with the people they serve, one which values and respects their dignity…a relationship that recognizes that God was present long before the missioner arrived. We work in humility side by side with the people. We build upon shared faith and experiences, an exchange of culture and ideas. It is a relationship in which the missioner is transformed by his or her experience and the love and compassion they exchange with the people they serve. A VMM missioner offers his or her skills in a variety of ministries: as an engineer, teacher, builder, farmer, health care worker, administrator, pastoral worker – always through the praxis of accompaniment – learning together, sharing faith, lives and resources. .
