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:
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“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)
