Short Term Missions

Global Service Opportunities

One of our core values is Glocal Service and one of the ways that Jericho Ridge is living this out is by inviting you to invest in two key international ministries.

Guatemala

Each year, JRCC sends a serving team to this central american country to serve with our partners, Bethel Ministries.  

JRCC is planning our 10th team trip to Guatemala! The focus of the trip is to share our love of Jesus through actions, specifically to orphans, widows, the physically challenged and poor families. The team will build 1 or 2 small homes and distribute food and clothing to families in need with the main focus of the trip being a wheelchair distribution for those with mobility challenges. 

Is this your year? Applications for individuals that attend JRCC will be accepted from Sept 25 - Oct 30, 2016. All applications will be prayerfully considered and we aim to have our team finalized by Nov 30, 2016. Download an application here.

Here's a glimpse from last year of how our 2016 team shared the love of God with others during their one-week stay:

 Tanzania

In 2013, Under The Same Sun (UTSS) & Jericho Ridge hosted the first-ever summer camp for children with albinism in Tanzania, East Africa. It was deemed a strong success and this summer (July 14-27, 2016), we sent a group of volunteers from JRCC and other local churches to invest two weeks in July serving and learning alongside UTSS Tanzania staff, local university students and a partner church (BMCC) in Mwanza, Tanzania for a repeat of summer camp for approximately 170 children with albinism.  Here's a video highlighting the work...
