VISA Fast Trackers are people who have been invited to help with Free Methodist ministry outside the United States. Typical Fast Track assignments include teaching in a theological institution, medical ministry in a hospital or clinic, maintenance or emergency relief. Most Fast Trackers serve for a period of two weeks to six months.The urgency and brevity of this type of mission calls for speed in processing while still covering all the bases.
Located in one of the most beautiful countries in Africa, Great Commission Bible School (GCBS) is training up the next generation of Africa’s FM church leaders. Three times a year, GCBS invites two Bibl/pastoral teachers and one English teacher to teach for one month in Malawi. If you are an available pastor or professor, maybe you can bring along a person who is able to work in the area of maintenance. This great short-term missions experience can make a long-term impact on many lives.

Pastoral Training - Bulgaria
Bulgaria needs pastors and leaders who can come to help with the pastor’s training program. Many Bulgarian pastors have had no formal training and will not be able to attend seminary. So volunteers are needed to teach on pastoral responsibilities, sermon preparation, care for the people, Biblical instruction, and more. Pastors who come are invited to visit famous Biblical landmarks, such as Thessaloniki and Philippi, to learn more about these places and have a better understanding of Scripture.
