In recent years, news broadcasts have been filled with stories of violence in the Middle East — especially Syria — and of the resulting refugee crisis. Syrian men, women, and children fled from their homes, jobs, and friends, hoping to escape war and poverty. More than 1 million refugees traveled through Turkey, piled into small, overcrowded rubber boats, and faced the dangerous journey across the Aegean Sea to the shores of Greece. They hoped to pass through the islands and continue into Europe.

However, most European countries have closed their borders leaving the refugees trapped in camps — unable to travel to a new destination and powerless to return home.

You can help meet physical needs and show the kindness of Jesus to struggling refugees by traveling with Unto^® to a camp in Greece.

You will serve refugees by distributing aid such as blankets or food or doing chores in the camp. Your presence and help will show refugees that they are loved and cared for.

Participants on this trip must be 18 years or older to serve in the camp and participants must be able to work on their feet eight hours at a time.

Women around the world face many physical, social, and spiritual challenges. In some cases, women are told little about their health, even to the point of becoming pregnant and giving birth without doctors sharing what is happening to their bodies. Some women do not have education because their family will not allow it, or due to the lack of feminine hygiene products, they miss a week of school every month and eventually drop out.

You can help bring physical and spiritual healing to women in the toughest places by joining the Unto^® Women’s Health Summer Mission trip. In partnership with local staff teams and their partners, you will participate in leading health education workshops that provide life saving information, while building relationships that lead to conversations about the eternal hope of Jesus.

The Unto Women’s Health Summer Mission trip is open to female nursing students who have completed approximately two semesters with clinical rotation of nursing school. Female students of other majors may be considered providing they have a medical/science background with some clinical knowledge and experience. We seek ten participants who demonstrate interest in maternal and child health, women’s rights, and women’s ministry.

Are you passionate about the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20) as well as natural sciences, community development, and sustainability?

Within the Humanitarian aid world, the concern is whether are we creating sustainable communities or dependency problems.

Unto is the humanitarian branch of Cru, an international ministry that creates movements everywhere, so that everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus. Unto serves in the toughest places on earth to relieve suffering, restore dignity, and reveal the hope of Jesus. One of the ways we do this is through agriculture workshops.

We serve farmers from all scales and backgrounds to come alongside them by relieving food insecurity, empowering people through agricultural education, and revealing hope. Our workshops include components such as raised garden beds, composting, nutrition, drip irrigation kits, and pest management. We also adopt our workshops considering what the specific community needs help with.

You can help relieve the suffering of Tanzanians who struggle to make a living as subsistence farmers. The biggest challenges for Tanzanian farmers are degraded lands, harsh drought, and poor practices. By joining the Agriculture Summer Mission with Unto^®,  you have the opportunity to teach communities about how they can grow year-round, and farm more sustainably. You will see firsthand the practical and spiritual impact your agriculture, soil science, or natural science passion/education can have on a community.

In addition to participating in workshops, you will explore ways to integrate ministry into your career as you spend time with local Cru^®  staff members sharing the hope of Jesus with people in the heart of Tanzania. We will run three-day training in villages, teaching families techniques to grow more while restoring soil for future generations.

The applications are open. To apply, please complete and submit the summer missions application.
