Short-Term Mission Teams
Each year City Ministries hosts church teams from around the world who come to Nigeria to help with our ministries in a variety of amazing ways. Groups of usually 5-20 individuals typically stay for a week or two and experience in depth what God is doing here as they work with orphans, widows, on construction projects, in blind town, at various CARE centers, etc.!
Hosting these teams is a huge boost to our work here and never fails to encourage our missionaries as well as greatly deepen the spiritual walk of those who make the trek to Africa! (The average cost from the U.S. for a 12 day trip is about $2,600 per person.)
Church Partnerships
Partnerships provide short and long term opportunities for various missionary ministries, mutual prayer, training, and shared resources, with church teams’ help in facilitating these activities, allowing your team to support vital missions in areas where the church's investment is multiplied many times over.
We also can develop more structured, long-term partnerships with churches wishing to deepen their involvment in our ministry
Your church prayerfully considers our joint proposal, asks questions, makes comments, specifics are defined, etc.
Your church leadership may come to visit Nigeria, meet with SIM Nigeria missionaries, potential Nigerian partner churches, and others vital to the long term success of the partnership.
