Facilitating the Mission

Short Term Trips Part Two

Part two of our Short-term Trips series is the first half of a conversation about the stories and lessons that have come out of short-term mission trips Jeff and Bryon have been a part of.

The greatest lessons we can learn come don't come from a text book (although missions texts are full of great stories, theology and processes), they come from what we learn through personal experience and trip debriefs.

Part 1

Team Covenant

Short Term Trips

In this podcast, we have a no-nonsense discussion about short-term mission trips, trip goals, vetting mission trip participants, and the importance of supporting the goals of long-term missionaries on the field.

If the trip purpose loses its focus and individual trip participants become the center of attention, the trip fails. One tool mentioned in this podcast is the Team Covenant. Read more about it and download a copy for yourself here.

Other topics that come up that you can read more about are Short-Term Mission Teams that are Sent Well and Short term mission trips–Creating and Cultivating a Pilgrim-mindset.
