Thinking about a short-term missions experience? Not sure you want to deal with the hyper-activity? Not sure you really think that short-term experiences are really effective anyway?
Let’s re-think short-term experiences together. Done right, they can be transformation, both in the lives of the participants as well as the lives of the host ministry.
I can’t tell you how many people have come to the middle of their time here and have said something like this, “I came thinking I would be blessing others, but wow, I’ve received so much more from the fellowship, the worship, the fun.”
Next year Dave Miller with Adventures in Life Ministry and I will be kicking off a 6-week short-term stint that we’ve baptized “MissionXchange.” A big part of our focus is that short-term missions is a two way street. You give, yes, but you also receive. The blessing goes both ways.
