The SMM offers interested parties the opportunity for life-changing experiences. We place workers in organizations and communities with whom strong relationships already exist. During the application process we identify the best ways to prepare short- and long-termers for their assignment (or point them to suitable preparatory courses and seminars). We offer coaching during the assignment as well as evaluation and debriefing upon return.
Peace workers/ short-termers need to cover all their own costs. They are usually supported by their sending church. SMM helps to organize such a support group.
Requirements for Short-termers and Peace Workers:
- Minimum age of 18 years and completed school education, vocational training or graduation
- Vital relationship with Jesus Christ
- Active membership in a Christian community
- Physical and mental health
- Willingness to submit to the local leaders and to comply with their instructions
- Foreign language skills (depending on location)
