Our short-term missions will always have certain characteristics that help define the places we minister. The preparation to be part of a short-term mission team will be extensive. Each team will have eight or more training sessions to prepare for various aspects of their trip. We believe it is in the best interest of the mission field for us to bring spiritually prepared people, capable of performing the tasks needed.
