Since its establishment, MissionServ International has been an agent of transformation, good will, and citizen diplomacy, promoting short-term international volunteer mission trips to tend to needy areas of the world.

A question comes to mind -- what is it that inspires people to act selflessly? To leave the comfort of their own homes and communities, to go into the unknown, in order to contribute to the world by serving others... Showing in actions what we, many times, cannot express in words? The answer must be love. For the greatest need that the world has today is love! By serving others, love is practiced, and peoples' lives are blessed. It is true that by giving to and serving others, a change happens within our own hearts.

It is MissionServ International's firm belief that a single person, moved to serve others by compassion and generosity, can make a meaningful difference in the world. Service transforms people in many wonderful ways -- by encouraging greater selflessness, fostering a closer attentiveness to the world, and producing a richer awareness of the interconnectedness of our lives with the lives of others.

The betterment of society depends on common, ordinary citizens like you and I. If we only became aware of the power of citizen diplomacy, many more people would want to make a difference in their local communities as well as overseas, building trust between the nations of this world. As Albert Schweitzer stated, "The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve." We at MissionServ International hope you will find happiness in helping others, experiencing firsthand the extravagant joy of service.

Contact us to tell us that you, too, wish to make a difference!
