Going With God: A Short-Term Mission
Team Leader’s Tool Kit is an in-depth, easy to use training toolkit to help STM leaders
prepare, and guide their teams before, during and after the trip. The information, exercises, and case studies
included in the kit are based on the experiences and advice of missionaries,
host country partners, experienced STM leaders, and mission leaders from around
the world. This
is a newly updated, revised, and redesigned version of a previous short-term
mission resource. We believe it will
make an incredible difference in your short-term mission partnership
experiences.
Below is a description and a sample session to
download for each of the three components of the toolkit.
Part One: Pre Trip:
Get Ready: How to
Prepare Your Short-Term Mission Team – a dynamic, interactive training
program with sections on spiritual growth, team-building, cross-cultural
ministry skills, language learning, and logistics. This part touches upon the who, what, when, where and how of planning a trip including topics on team
building, cultural differences, conflict management, cross-cultural
communication, and sharing Christ in another culture.
Part Two: During the Trip:
Watch for God at
Work: An In-Country Devotional Guide for
Engaging in God’s Mission
– one guide for
leaders, another for members. They will help your team discover how God is
working in, on, and through your hosts and the team. There is ten
days of devotionals to follow, or pull suggestions from, as you gather as a
group on the field. You’ll find reminders and Biblical foundations on
being a servant, keeping your hands and hearts open, being relational, and
watching for where God is at work.
Part Three: Post-Trip
What’s Next? Transforming Your
Short-Term Mission Experience into Long-Term
Ministry When You Return Home – Coming back home is not the end of a
mission trip, it's just the beginning! Three experiential training sessions help your team reflect
on their experience, prepare their presentations, and discover what God has in
mind for them next.
Available now through Judson Press, for the low price of $14.95, which includes all four sections (Part 1, Part 2 Leader and Member, and Part 3) on CD.
