Short-Term Missions Opportunities

Serving in missions can seem daunting, but going with others by God's empowerment can help you take successful first steps!

We have short-term ministry trips that provide 1-3 weeks of service with a team. Participants go through training, raising support (if necessary), serving on a field, and debriefing.

Take Part In Trips To:

  1. Thailand - in 2026, join us on one of three impactful trips as we serve the community, expand local friendship opportunities, and increase the fruitful impact of the international long-term team there. We'll focus on an English Camp in a VBS-style, support the growing soccer ministry and join the team on their home visits and worship. Additional dates could be added based on demand.
    1. February 2 - 15
    2. Summer
    3. October 4 - 17
  2. Oshari - Summer 2026 - travel to a country that neighbors the Oshari, learn about this people group, and partner with local missionaries to lead a VBS camp for Oshari children and youth.
  3. Phoenix, AZ - explore how God is at work among unreached people groups in Phoenix and join in being His hands and feet through teaching English, serving children and families, and creating connections with immigrant & refugee friends who are eager to share their lives with others. Contact us if you have a youth or adult team from your church who would like to go serve in this meaningful way.
  4. NYC - join others to get trained in evangelism and abiding with Jesus, then go out into neighborhoods to have spiritual conversations with immigrants and refugees; internationals with spiritual interest will receive follow-up from local house churches through our partner organization. These trips for teens and adults take place during specific periods of time throughout the year.
  5. Shoptar - take part in seeing fruit among the least-reached Shoptar. We're looking for those with experience in teaching, medicine, business, tech, or sports. Contact us to explore specific dates and details. Some locations are safer than the US and Europe; others will require special training.
  6. Sierra Leone - medical trips to Mattru Hospital can bring healing and life to an area with a great physical need. Contact us to see if a team is being planned.

Aside from larger expenses such as airfare and hotels, other costs you may need to budget include: background check, obtaining a passport, luggage and travel items, meals in airports, personal gifts, etc. Each trip will have different costs.

I'd like more Information!


We are highly selective and only promote trips that will have meaningful impact for locals, do not build dependency, and lead to growth for participants. Our trips include pre-trip training, logistical support, and post-trip debriefing.

“I got so much out of my experience with UB Global. We were able to help the long-term missionaries more effectively reach out to their friends. Another highlight is that I built new friendships with participants from other churches!”
