Without Borders is a popular name for organizations doing good globally. Volunteers with these organizations typically share a common profession, skill or interest. They all share a passion to make a difference in the world.
You might have heard about Doctors Without Borders or Builders Without Borders. However, there are many organizations that share the Without Borders title. I had fun finding more than 50 describing their worldwide reach in this way.

Roger,
After a recent mission trip to the poverty-stricken hills of Jamaica with my family, I was struck by the tremendous simplicity of the process in getting there and doing mission work. I used to think that a person had to become trained and certified as a missionary and then wait out a whole rigorous procedure of being assigned. But we simply connected with a friend who does mission work there, flew down with some supplies, did work using our gifts and abilities, and flew home. It’s doable for the average American!
So, I offer an entirely new potential category of “without borders” – The [fill-in-your-own-name] Without Borders.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for sharing your recent “without borders” experience. I love your concept of families doing good around the world. I also love the fact that you and your family are taking action to make the world a better place.
After my Father-in-Law retired (whatever that means) from full-time ministry, he traveled every year to Jamaica and preached in some of the churches in those hills you describe. He was enthusiastic before he went and even more fired up when he returned.
Thanks again for sharing your trip. I also want you to know that I always look forward to your posts on the Serving Strong blog.
