So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”
(Acts 2:12)
The ministry which has a need submits a "Services Needed" form. The form is prayerfully considered with servants who have submitted a "Volunteer To Serve Application". The staff associated with this ministry will prayerfully look for common qualifiers (skills and time availability) and put together a team that would meet the needs required. This is a Spirit-led ministry and each request and applicant are prayerfully considered. We then coordinate with the requesting ministry and "the team" regarding travel plans, lodging, skills/tools availability.
This ministry (Gaius Missionary Services) is simply a "means" to coordinate and help satisfy the needs of the requesting missionaries.
The Lord supports this ministry. There are no fees charged to connect the servant with the ministry need. All of the servants who are associated with this ministry agree to be willing to serve on a temporary basis without any charge for their service. Room and board are typically provided by the requesting missionary church; however, the servant is prepared to bear all costs if not.
No. At this time, our vision is to serve all missionaries and exemplify God's love to the entire Body of Christ.
Yes. After we have gone before the Lord in prayer to connect your needs with a team of servants we believe God has available, you will have the opportunity to discuss any concerns and suggestions about the make-up of the team and request changes as necessary.
The team of servants are typically scheduled to accomplish the work needed in one to two weeks.
We prayerfully select those servants that we believe are truly called by the Lord to serve through this ministry. Each servant understands that they serve the Lord directly and are responsible independently for their actions and conduct as ambassadors for Christ.
