Each year, CMS Ireland facilitates a number of Short-Term Experience Placements (STEPs) with our Global Partners. It may be easy to think that not much can change in a three-week visit, or even a nine-month placement, but these experiences often change people in ways that continue to have an impact for many years.
STEPs can last from a few weeks to 18-months and are self-funded. They’re a great way to use your holidays, a career break or some ‘available time’ to share your skills and play your part.
It’s a chance for you to get involved in what God is doing across the world. An opportunity to experience another culture, share the love of Jesus in practical ways, inspire others for mission and let God work in your life every step of the way.
STEP opportunities with CMS Ireland are wide and varied, based either in Africa or Nepal.
We are looking for people (18 +) who want to serve God and learn more about Global Mission. We require people who have lots of stamina, are self-motivated, easy to get on with, flexible in their approach and able to work well in a team.
