Full-Time Service
InFaith’s field staff introduces people in the United States to Jesus and encourages them to follow Him more closely. Some members of our field staff come to InFaith knowing how and where they are called to serve, while others respond to ministry opportunities discovered and publicized by the mission. InFaith field staff members have a passion for God and a willingness to adapt ministry methods to address the specific needs of the people God leads them to serve.

Part-Time Service (Mission Partnerships)
InFaith mission partners are InFaith field staff members who serve part-time.

- Commit to ten to twenty-nine hours per week in InFaith ministry
- Usually have additional sources of income and employment
- Raise a lower level of financial support than full-time field staff members

Kaleo
Kaleo creates short-term missions experiences in the United States for the purposes of encountering Christ, transforming lives, empowering ministry, and inspiring the church.
What it means to take part in short-term missions with InFaith:
Kaleo Missions exists to connect Christian groups who want to serve with year-round ministries who would like help. We make it possible for leaders to bring their group on an intentional, relational missions experience and to focus on their students, rather than having to juggle all the logistics that an effective missions trip requires.
- Your registration cost of $55 dollars per person per night pays for all your meals, housing, a customized ministry itinerary connected with year-round ministries, and all ministry supplies.
- Our staff serves alongside your group throughout the week and debriefs your group about the ministry experiences they are having during the trip.
- You will be responsible for transportation to the ministry site and during the Kaleo Missions experience.
- We work one-on-one with you to help you through the registration and preparation process, then continue to serve with you at the ministry site and follow up with any needs you may have as you return back home.
