This Rainbow Covenent Mission Focus group was founded in 1976 and is a grassroots movement within the United Methodist Church designed to provide an official channel whereby Christians, both lay and clergy, may offer their skills and talents for Christian service at home and around the World on short-term assignments at their own expense. This group's work includes construction and renewing of mission facilities, teaching, witnessing, conducting medical clinics, conducting Bible studies or Bible schools for children, and serving in disaster relief efforts around the World. The UMVIM network offers guidance, organization and training for more than 125,000 volunteers serving with the poor, building churches, and assisting in disaster response, Emergency Response Training, commuinity health, and leadership training each year.
