Our church is continually getting stronger and stronger in the area of Short-Term Missions Trips.
For this reason, I thought you may like this article coming out of some research done at Baylor University. This article is “Researchers study return on short-term missions.”
It is enough to make me want to go more. Here is an excerpt:
“Research has revealed students who participate in short-term mission trips tend to have lower levels of materialism, greater appreciation for other cultures and a better understanding of missions as a lifestyle,”
As followers of Jesus, we should all like lower levels of materialism, greater appreciation for other cultures and a better understanding of missions as a lifestyle.
