Making the Most of Short-Term Missions Trips


Listen Later

Are short-term mission trips doing more harm than good? How can we plan short-term mission trips to make the most impact? Listen to this episode today as Dave interviews Larry McCrary from The Upstream Collective. Larry is the author of Listen: How to Make the Most of Your Short-Term Mission Trip and provides important advice for those planning or participating in a short-term trip this summer. Here's what the two discuss:

 

  1. Tell us about the Upstream Collective and Upstream Sending.
  2. Your new book is called, Listen: How to Make the Most of Your Short-Term Mission Trip. Why did you title it, Listen?
  3. There are some who believe short-term mission trips do more harm than good. What are your thoughts about that?
  4. The first section of your book is titled, "Before You Go." Can you highlight a few of the points you write about when it comes to pre-trip planning?
  5. What can happen if short-term mission teams don't plan well before they go?
  6. What advice do you have for short-term mission teams and hosts during the trip?
  7. Studies have shown that proper follow-up is crucial for an effective short-term mission trip. Do you agree? How can team leaders do follow-up well?
