Being part of a short-term missions team can confirm that calling for one who is not quite sure. However, I have often wondered if the funds spent on sending a team to experience missions, would not achieve more if they were sent directly to the missionaries already there. At least that's how hubby felt after he had to lead his college students on two missionary teams - to two different continents. Just wondering here...Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953073381987950597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906161860339971347.post-54142907498385679972009-05-29T20:07:48.409-05:002009-05-29T20:07:48.409-05:00I would agree with a lot of that.

Although my parents have done much short-term missions, and I can honestly say it's not to benefit them or make them feel good (but I can say that because I know my parents hearts and they are truly people who have hearts for others.) The last time they went to Turkey, my mom got the group arrested. Then they went to Palestine and my mom ended up with shingles and came home in a wheel chair. Beruit was next...Lybia... <br /><br />I think it's about the heart of the person going on the missions. We want to believe that it's all about the people they're going to evangelize to, but unfortunately it can be a 'how good I feel about myself now' experience.Annie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774350914255922163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906161860339971347.post-49148522358225404592009-05-28T09:56:40.867-05:002009-05-28T09:56:40.867-05:00Interesting points.
Supporting overseas mission...Interesting points. <br />Supporting overseas missionaries with an extra pair of hands might also be a worthy goal.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070555200892952455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906161860339971347.post-14227333325769120872009-05-28T05:29:04.825-05:002009-05-28T05:29:04.825-05:00Oh, wow Koffijah. Just wow!
I have often thought...Oh, wow Koffijah. Just wow!<br /><br />I have often thought those very thoughts. I always hear about how great it was for the youth group to go to Mexico and build this church for a poor village and how it was lifechanging for the native people. Um, yeah right. It was great that they were able to help and all, but don't tell me much of it wasn't just a mini vacation from their self absorbed lives. Okay, that's a little harsh. I haven't had my coffee this morning. Great post, friend.katdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210738418270395622noreply@blogger.com
