"Whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
–Jesus Christ (Matthew 25:40)
Least in the eyes of men, but precious members of Jesus' family, are the poor and the broken in spirit of Uganda and the world. A short-term missions trip to us provides you with a two week to 3 month opportunity to minister to Jesus by:
We are always amazed at what Father God does through our short-term visitors. A father or mother's hug imparts the Father's love. A Nurse's medical treatment brings hope. A counselor brings healing to a broken heart. The Body is built up, the hungry are fed, the lonely are filled, the Kingdom is expressed, God is glorified, and thankfulness and joy abound.
Important Note: Because we are serving in underdeveloped countries and unpredictable conditions, Zion Project cannot and does not guarantee your safety, health or comfort. You will be joining us in trusting God as provider and protector.

Long-term service at is generally defined as a commitment of one-to-two years or more with the following exceptions:
Most Long-term missionaries are responsible for their own financial support and come to us as volunteers. There are very few staff positions available and we recommend you serve as a volunteer first prior to becoming a staff member.
Even so, long-term workers are still accountable to the leadership of Zion Project and should seek to function in an interdependent and submissive manner within our community – including the scheduling of travel, holidays and breaks.
Applicants should be able-bodied and in good health due to the demanding physical conditions of the areas where we minister. Medical insurance coverage will be verified before your acceptance.

Fundraising
Unfortunately due to the amount of volunteers coming through Zion Project and the accounting involved, we cannot accept donations on your behalf as you are fundraising to volunteer with us. Please check with your church/organizations to see if they can provide tax-deductible receipts on your behalf and send out your support letters early. Exceptions will only be made for staff members. Thanks!
Happy reading!
