Mid Term Missions
GoCorps exists to foster a culture of mid-term missions in North America. For most of the last two decades, short term missions has exploded in the churches and on the campuses on our continent. However, those with the least access to the gospel are left virtually untouched by the short-term mission movement.
Mid-term missions refers to a time commitment of two years. Serving cross-culturally for at least two years exponentially increases the effectiveness of the mission endeavor. It is long enough to become conversational in the local language and gain a good understanding of local culture, long enough to build relationships with locals over various life seasons and long enough to plug into an existing team and contribute to a longer term project. Serving for two years overseas after graduation is strategic choice for young adults of all career aspirations as it provides a unique experience in which goers grow personally and spiritually, and it's one of the best ways to develop professionally as well.
We believe that it is time for the bar to be raised. Short-term missions is a good first step. But now is the time for campuses and churches across the country to make mid-term missions a part of the culture of their ministries. For those campuses and students that want to make mid-term missions a reality, GoCorps is your on-ramp to help send recent graduates from your campus to the least reached and serve a two year mid-term missions commitment.
