2024 Short Term Missions

Throughout the year, Woodies sends teams of people out on short-term mission and in 2024 we are planning trips to Uganda, Romania, Peru and France.

Missions are made up of small teams of people who are willing to carve time out of their lives to go and support the work of some of our Global Partners and God's global church. Short-term mission enables us to step out and in doing so we are blessed as we seek to bless others.

Find out about the opportunities on offer in 2024 for people to go on missions to:
Uganda | Romania | Peru | France
