Short Term Missions / long term transformation No Mission worth taking is really “short term”
Seeking long term transformation in a short term world  The Long View The NEW short term missions are as much about learning as teaching. They are as much about receiving as giving. They are as much about what happens after we get home as what happens during the time we are there, and as much about transformation occurring in our own hearts, as in those whom we serve. The truth is most churches are trying to develop exactly this kind of short term missions. The trips themselves may be short, but we want their effect to be lasting: producing lasting friendships, lasting benefits to the people whom we serve and lasting transformation in our own lives.
