CARE-A-VANers ARE PEOPLE WHO: EnjoyVolunteering their skills, learning new skills, and serving others. Fellowship and recreation within a Christian group. Opportunities for learning to know Christians of various origins, environments, and ethnic heritages.

The TASK of VIM Our task is different from our purpose. The task is what we are to do with our abilities such as help in disaster emergencies, and building projects for churches and institutions in and beyond the Conference. Our task must always be secondary to our purpose of sharing Christ’s love in ways that make a difference. Task and purpose are closely related and both should be accomplished. Our guarantee: You will have more fun than doing those “Honey-Do” home projects.

RV travel with a purpose. Provide their own transportation to a project and can be self-sufficient because some sites have limited services. Choose in which projects they wish to participate, and spend from one week to 10 days, depending on the project. We welcome Christians of other “Faith Families”.
