Be prepared to be challenged in the conventional thinking of short term missions. We live in a unique age of short term missions. Not sense the time of Paul has it been possible for laymen and women to engage in missions work on the field while maintaining their careers. In the time of Paul four crucial elements intersected to make this possible – Roman Citizenship; The Roman Roads and Shipping Lanes; The Roman Coinage and The Roman Language. Not for almost 2,000 years have these same elements been at work in our world. Yet today The American Passport; The International Airline Industry; The American Dollar and The English Language have made it possible for the average layman to get on a plane and within a day or two be teaching and preaching the Word of God on foreign fields. Yet with great opportunity comes great responsibilities. What are the pitfalls into which many mission teams fall? How are our resources and time best used? What type of training and preparations should be considered? What level of spirituality is necessary? How can the team be of greatest blessing and usefulness to the receiving mission organization? These and more issues are addressed in this 90 minute workshop. Be prepared to be challenged in the conventional thinking of short term missions.
