A short-term mission trip, with good planning and leadership, can be an engaging and meaningful experience, with mutual benefit to the people who go and to the people receiving the group. Participation in a mission trip offers you and your church group a chance to share your time and talents with mission partners from other cultures and realities. Through the trip you learn from each other and worship and serve God together.
When preparing for a short-term mission experience, it is vital to approach the trip with open hands and hearts, realizing that God is already present in the place you are going.
