Interested in being a full-time missionary but worried about committing for a full year?  At PCA we offer short term missions options of 3 and 6 months.  As a short-term missionary, you will be able to have the full experience of being a foreign missionary without committing to an extended period of time. 

As a short-term missionary, you will stay with and be mentored by an existing full-time PCA missionary.  You will have the opportunity to learn and experience what it is to be a missionary for Christ living abroad.  You will participate in working with children at Palacaguina Christian Academy, teaching English and building into the community.
