Through meaningful short term ministry, GOD'S PEOPLE are able to participate in GOD'S PLAN to take GOD'S MESSAGE to the world. Well-planned trips can have a 360° impact, not only on the person going on the trip or on the community being served, but also on those praying and supporting the effort, the partnering mission team and the other participating team members.
This resource is a practical guide that will help you and everyone on your team to become familiar with the fundamentals of short term ministry including preparations, expectations and responsibilities. Inside, you'll find tools for every aspect of trip preparation and implementation, including the often challenging task of raising prayer and financial partners.
You'll also find the help you're looking for to encourage each member of the team to deepen their walk with the Lord throughout the process. Included are group Bible studies for use in pre-trip preparations as well as daily team devotionals and a journaling section to use during the trip. A post-trip action plan helps every team member develop a strategy for lasting impact in their own life and on the field they've visited.
A 360° impact is possible and the effort required to achieve that goal is worth it!
