Supporting Short-Term Missionaries Serving with ICI

Short-Term Missions at ICI provide opportunities for interns and short-term missionaries to serve children and families through focused seasons of ministry. These individuals commit their time, energy, and gifts to support programs, build relationships, and walk faithfully with students—often during summer or seasonal ministry periods.

Short-term missionaries depend on a team of supporters who make it possible for them to serve fully during their time with ICI.

How Short-Term Missionary Support Is Used

Gifts designated for Short-Term Missions help cover essential expenses for interns and short-term missionaries, including:

Transportation and program support costs
Training, mentoring, and discipleship
Resources needed to support ICI programs and events

This support allows short-term missionaries to serve without financial burden while focusing on meaningful ministry work.

Why Short-Term Missions Matter

Short-term missionaries play an important role in supporting ICI’s year-round ministry. Their presence allows programs to expand during high-impact seasons and provides additional support for staff and students alike.

For many interns, this season also serves as a time of discernment—helping them grow in faith, responsibility, and clarity about future ministry or vocational calling.
