Welcome to Christians Abroad

Help us ‘share skills and promote community’ through the local Church or local Christian organisations. Develop your journey of faith by being blessed and being a blessing. 

Important Update, 31 July 2025 -

Christians Abroad is entering into a year of reviewing the Charity's strategy in 2026. 

As such, Christians Abroad will continue to offer Travel Insurance Introducer Representative Services and Voluntary Development Worker National Insurance Services, the Mission Associate Partner programme, along with the Special Projects listed on this website.

However, from Autumn 2025 to Autumn 2026, Christians Abroad will not be offering Short-Term Volunteer Placement Opportunites abroad. We hope to readvertise such opportunities towards the end of 2026.

An additional service that the Charity is looking to be able to offer towards mid / end of 2026 is the pathway for long standing Christian Missionaries to apply for ordination under the Free Churches Group of England & Wales. This would be through Christians Abroad's membership of Churches in Communities International.  An exciting new opportunity on the horizon!

All opportunities are managed within a Christian community in the country where they are located. Every project described has agreed to Christians Abroad's Safeguarding policy for children and vulnerable adults. All vounteers placed by Christians Abroad will be covered by a DBS UK government clearance certificate or similar. Christians Abroad has an active policy of monitoring each project and placement every two years in a four year cycle. We offer personalised support to any volunteer placed through Christians Abroad. Help is given in preparation. whilst overseas and on return as agreed with the volunteer or with the participant in any adventure holiday or workcamp. The purpose of 'sharing skills and promoting community' is to provide the opportunity for service in a Christian context, to promote and enable enrichment and development of the project itself and of  individual volunteers and participants. Such development is not always straightforward and will be challenging.
