Welcome to day 10 of
30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
There are many reasons why people take part in short-term mission trips and I like to believe that first and foremost among those reasons is that they want to impact another part of the God’s Kingdom. There are naysayers however who openly imply that such trips amount to little more than Christian tourism.

Welcome to day 7 of
30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.

Welcome to day 6 of

Do you find yourself in what appears to be, or feels like, an impossible situation?

Although three round trips to Melun, in 10 days, was pretty tiring, there was a refreshing in our Spirit that made last weekend’s trip absolutely worth it. It was the French national youth convention (which doubles as the European youth convention) and it was absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to tell you about it.

Welcome to day 5 of my 30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
You can’t talk about short-term missions involvement without talking about fundraising… the two go hand in hand – like PB & J*. The harshest critics of STM look negatively on it because of what they consider to be a poor return on investment. Others consider the experience and impact worth every penny.

Welcome to day 4 of my 30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
Short-Term missions does a lot of things well, but one thing it does especially well is allow you to form faith-centered, faith-building friendships, many of which will last a life time.

Welcome to day three of my 30Days-30Pics: Defining Short-Term Missions.
I thought that since days one and two had to do with vision (how friends see you & how you see yourself)… I’d stick with that theme, but today is not about you, it’s about how you see the present and the future.
