New York American Baptists are coming alongside Rwandan brothers and sisters as they look forward to the continued healing of their people. ABCNYS has entered into a three year partnership with Rwandan Christian Ministries & Rabagirana Ministries & Shalom Community Organization to send volunteers and support their ministry of healing and reconciliation.

Anabell Quast is a short-term volunteer on extended assignment in Vanga at the Vanga Evangelical Hospital. God is smiling all around her, in her new environment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“God’s kingdom will come” was a statement made by Rev. Marsha Scipio when she preached in January 2019 while on a short-term mission trip in Malaysia.

Short-Term missions are transformative. One prepares emotionally, spiritually and physically for cross cultural immersion before departing. Then faces a re-entry process with its own time line. The Short-Term Mission team at IM can gently walk alongside you and be co-learners, co-disciples in this Emmaus faith journey.

Do you serve yourself, or do you serve others, and what is your motivation? Let’s try to “hit ni are hush sego” according to Nita Bryan, who is on a short-term mission assignment at Kanto Gakuin University.

“Ubuntu n’amahoro” Grace and peace be with you, as you come alongside Revs. Suzi & Jim Harriff when they lead short-term mission teams to Rwanda. The hands, feet and hearts of short-term servants help in kingdom building from New York state to Rwanda.
