North America Short-term Mission Opportunities
CSI Ministries is excited about our North American footprint for Jesus. We have developed partnerships across North America to engage teams in life-changing mission opportunities. In every way, we view our ministry as a discipleship tool for the local church, as well as High Schools and universities seeking to engage students to serve Jesus on a mission trip.
Our list of mission partnerships is ever-growing, but here are a few opportunities for you to consider serving alongside with CSI Ministries. We have worked very hard to put together quality opportunities for teams, with dedicated mission partners who are doing great service and ministry. We long to take teams who have a desire to serve Christ, and who understand that giving `of their time and talents can be truly life-changing for not only our ministry partners but themselves.

Every Year many communities are impacted by natural disasters. CSI works to set up after the initial recovery of utilities and infrastructure are stabilized in a disaster area. Partnering with a local church or ministry we work along side them so that they may direct us to areas of most need allowing them to use us for a vehicle for ministry in their community. Teams may clean up storm damage, help repair and build back, distribute relief supplies or even assist a damaged church hold a VBS. Always we work to encourage those devastated by loss and upheaval.
Currently we are developing a disaster trailer with showers and laundry facilities that will be used at disaster sites to help people with basic needs so they may as quickly as possible move toward recovery.

“Many children who come to live with us feel hopeless. Their situations back home often seem unchangeable, and the parents often give up all hope of ever seeing things get better. But we have a God of hope! A God who can provide an atmosphere of love and implant in each young life hope for a better tomorrow.”
At Shiloh Children’s Ranch teams may find themselves cutting wood for the winter, doing light maintenance and painting, construction and always taking time to encourage the house parents and children by sharing meals and fun activities.
