What exactly is a Short Term Mission Trip? Part 1 of 4

Short Term Missions
Have you at any time thought that you simply dreamed of being a part of something good and wonderful, yet had not been certain just how “the pieces of the puzzle” joined together? Often times that's the feeling any time choosing to get involved with a mission trip. However you may well be not sure on exactly how it all works. We hope this will be able to answer some questions you may have.


What exactly are Short Term Mission Trips?
A short term mission trip is commonly seven to two weeks in duration, however it may be longer, with individuals travelling to minister within a culture different from their own. The main focus of most of these trips should be to serve the group of people being visited, and probably do consist of evangelism, teaching, prayer, construction, or a mixture of these activities. It's an chance to share a person's gifts and talents with others and to receive from those of a different culture. Paul’s words for the Romans sums up the heart beat of short term missions when he writes that he strongly desires to see them in order that he “may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.” (Romans 1:11-12)
