How to apply
A space to aid
your decision
The SJS Volunteer Missionary Program application is designed to be a space of thoughtful reflection, not simply a form to complete.
Applying is not a final commitment. It is an opportunity to begin a conversation, ask questions, and allow the Lord room to clarify His invitation.
