We have been so blessed to have four short-term missions teams join us at Within Reach Global for the past week. They have experienced some amazing ministry opportunities:
Campus ministry to college students and young professionals
Ministry to orphans and underprivileged children
Village trips to unreached people groups
Holistic evangelism to Buddhist monks
Prayer walks through Chinese cities
Pastors and leaders conference
There’s a lot of controversy surrounding short-term missions teams. Some have alluded to these groups being nothing more than Christian tourism. But there is a certain power that comes from short-term missions trips.
David Joannes, president of Within Reach Global, talks about this subject with one of his visiting pastors on Missions Blab. Watch the video and give your thoughts in the comments section below.
Have you ever been on a short-term missions trip? How did it impact your life? How did it leave a lasting gospel impression in the lives of the locals?
