    Rio Texas Volunteers-In-Mission

    VIM Webinar 
    Starting Jan. 2018, we will start holding these quarterly. With participants joining in from a church within your district via video conferencing. A local VIM leader will act as a host at district local church and we will connect to the set of hosting churches. We hope this will make it more convenient for members to get training. (Over time, as we learn we'll open this up to individual participants).
