Do you take students on missions trips? Have you ever been asked to never come back?
I have heard countless stories of youth groups going on missions trips and completely destroying the missionary, and the relationships that the missionary is trying to build in his/her community. Why do we often make it all about us, and what we want to get out of the “experience”?
The book, When Helping Hurts, is a must read for anyone who is going on a missions trip. Also, for the month of February it is free over at christian audio. Pick it up here for free.
I am going to use this book with my missions trip team as we prepare to go.
What books do you use to prep your students for a missions trip?
