Serve as a Volunteer

God uses ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plan. Are you looking for a short-term missionary experience for yourself or your church? Are you willing to work hard, sweat, and step outside of your comfort zone in order to bring the gospel to those who have never heard? Do you want to use your skills to make a difference in the lives of others for eternity? If so, then Amazon Connect is for you!

Come help us! The trips are open to anyone 16 years old and older. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Medical professionals are welcome, but it is not a requirement — we will plug everyone in somewhere, either on the clinical team or the evangelistic team.

The total cost of each trip will vary depending on the destination, but the essentials are covered.

Supply the Family Pack

In each village, we will treat many people and supply a Family Pack for each family that we treat. Often a church, Sunday School class, or Bible study group will get involved by holding an Amazon Connect Medicine Drive to supply items to fill the Family Packs. This gets others involved with you in taking the gospel to the Amazon. These items can be sent to Baptist International Mission Inc., PO Box 9, Harrison, TN 37341, in care of Amazon For Christ. You can start collecting these now!

We have attached a list of items which we generally collect. Ed Torres is responsible for inventorying the supplies which are collected.

There are three ways to get those items to our storage unit:

  1. We can have someone pick them up from you at your church or location. Contact Edward Torres at torres.ed.4christ@gmail.com.
  2. Sometimes individuals will bring them to our storage facility near Chattanooga, TN: 557 Prater Rd, Rossville, GA 30741.
  3. The items can be sent via USPS, FedEx, or UPS to: 8614 Harrison Bay Road, Harrison, TN 37341.

Team Member Testimonies

For anyone who ever wanted to go on a mission trip, I say it’s a plus! It’s a learning experience in many different ways.

Justin Loewen — College Student

I have been on many different mission trips, this is real missions that help a tough people group to reach. The ministry is incredibly well run, the Lord’s name is coming forth, and souls are being saved!

Daniel Glusehfski — Business Owner

It’s a significant investment, with returns to see souls saved. It’s reaching unreached people. It’s difficult to get to, but the Gospel is the same, and our God is the same!

Jay Folk — Church Pastor

It’s an amazing opportunity to serve the Lord and to help others with the skills and abilities God has given you.

Larisa Ungurean — Pharmacy Tech

Being my first missions trip, I didn’t really know what to expect and God used this ministry in a very miraculous way with new church plants, with village people that had not heard the gospel before.

Steven Becker — Church Pastor

It’s a blessing to see all the team members working together and using their skills to help the people in the village.

Heather Airy — Registered Nurse
