Almost two million Americans from 40,000 churches and other groups go on short-term mission trips each year, but how many of these trips are successful? It depends on who you ask.
Americans give the trips high marks, but hosts in other countries aren’t so sure. As one Nairobi pastor told Andy Crouch, “After you leave, we repaint many of the walls that you painted!”
That’s part of why Andy created Round Trip, a group resource designed to help groups design mission trips that go deeper and create relationships that last longer than a week or two.
Does your group travel domestically or internationally? If so, how much time and money do you invest in your trips?
Your friends at YouthWorker Journal give Round Trip high marks and suggest that you get and view this resource before you start planning your next trip.
