- Virginia Mennonite Board of Missions
Virginia Mennonite Board of Missions is a mission agency affiliated with Virginia Mennonite Conference and headquartered in Harrisonburg, Virginia. VMBM 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: in the Caribbean region (Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago), in the Mediterranean region (Italy and Albania), and in the US states of Virginia and North Carolina.
Virginia Mennonite Board of 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.
