The Christian
Volunteer Service (CVS) provides you with
the opportunity to spend one or two years of
your life to advance the cause of missions.
What a way to use your sabbatical! Or an
amazing way to spend inter diploma or post
NYSC year!
Many missionaries and other Christian
endeavours suffer severe difficulties
because of lack of professional support.
Though some volunteers may serve as
evangelists and pastors, most will work as
professionals. The CVS is expected to
provide professionals in administration,
media, agriculture, computer science,
education, health care services,
architecture, building, journalism,
engineering, driving, clerical, catering,
secretariat duties and research works etc
top provide such supports. The Lord can use
you to meet any of these professional needs.
Any willing born again Christian who has a
skill to share may participate. However,
preference will be given to young people who
have completed the NYSC scheme or any post
secondary education like OND, NCE etc.
This CVS is not just about serving with
CAPRO, volunteers may be sent to other
participating Christian Organisations.
The How
Wondering what will happen to you because
you are untrained in missions or theology?
Fear not. All participants are exposed to a
specialised short term orientation course at
the beginning of the programme.
If you are taken and your profession is
critically needed by any other organisation
apart fro CAPRO, you will be sent to serve
the Lord of teh Harvest. Every CVS
participant will undergo a period of four
week experience in outreach evangelism,
irrespective of the nature of their primary
service.
The Cost
Food, accommodation and transportation would
be provided for all CVS participants during
orientation. The receiving agencies will
provide accommodation or monetary
alternatives during the service year. A
monthly personal maintenance allowance will
also be paid to the CVS participant, but
this is a peanut, afterall we are
volunteering our lives for the service of
the King.
An involvement in short term missions
opportunities offered by CAPRO is an
investment of your life in bringing back the
King of glory.
