Mission Programs and Locations
VMM sends both long-term and short-term mission workers; long-term is defined as two or more years, although in some fields, workers serve one-year terms that can be extended. There are a handful of international and US-based service areas for long-term workers. VMM has a growing presence in the Caribbean region, including (Belize, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago), and in the Mediterranean region (Italy, Kosovo, and Albania), and in several US states working primarily with church planting.
Virginia Mennonite Missions also has two short-term mission programs: Partners in Mission, from a week to a month of service, and tranSend, a one-year program for individuals and couples exploring a future long-term ministry.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or programs:
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
