The purpose of this book is to identify and clarify credibility factors as well as problem areas of multicultural mission teams. Further, based on widely gathered information and. twenty-five years of experience working in multicultural teams, [the author wishes] to offer concrete points of action for mission executives, team leaders and missionaries in multi-cultural teams. These are aimed both at training missionaries initially and correcting harmful patterns which teams and individuals may have already formed. These points are integral to the biblical and cross-cultural aspects of missionary training. (from introduction)[Less]

50 Activities to Move from Mission Trips to Missional Living. The lessons included in this leader's guide to "Deep Justice Journeys" will help teachers prepare students for mission trips and service work. When students participate in short-term mission work, parents and youth leaders hope the experience of serving others will be transformative. But for mission work to make a real impact, leaders and students need to spend more time before, during, and after their service processing and preparing for their experiences. This curriculum and student journal helps leaders prepare students for what to expect on their mission trip, allows students to reflect upon their experiences, and enables them to genuinely debrief. Students will engage in learning exercises that help them gain new insights about themselves, their relationship with God, their teammates, and the world we're called to love and serve. These steps ensure short-term mission work that has a deeper effect on students and on those they serve, and helps students apply what they have learned in the mission field to their own lives. Also included are ideas to help get parents and the church engaged in the youth ministry's short-term mission work.[Less]

Moving from Mission Trips to Missional Living. If you really want to make a difference, you have to change, too. The only way that is going to happen is if you spend some time before, during, and after your service preparing for and processing all that you've experienced. The Deep Justice Journeys journal has activities that will get you fired-up to serve others and will help make sure your service makes a lasting impact.

So you're fired up, you want to make a difference, you want to change the world...but how? Signing up for your church's mission trip or service project is a great first step, and you are definitely going to make a difference in someone's life. But are you ready for the different cultures you may encounter? How are you going to really connect with the people you serve? And what about when you come home--how do you make sense of all the things you've experienced?

It's easy to forget your experiences in the mission field-especially when the people around you haven't had those same experiences. And it is easy to go back to living your life the way you were before-but if you really want to change the world, you have to change, too. The only way that is going to happen is if you spend some time before, during, and after your service preparing for and processing your justice work. As you use this journal you will start to think about

- the people you are serving

- your relationship with your teammates

- how God factors in to your service project

- the impact your experience has had on you

- how you can continue to make a difference in the world around you

If you think you're fired-up for service now, just wait! As you complete the creative and fun exercises included in this journal, you will be energized for justice work, you'll learn how to apply this to your own life, and nothing will be able to stop you.[Less]
