Making a Difference in a Globalized World: Short-term Missions that Work
Every year, an estimated 1.6 million Americans participate in short-term mission trips, spending over one billion dollarsâ€”figures that have increased exponentially in the last two decades. About one third of U.S. congregations sponsor such trips each year. While they are referred to as â€œmissionâ€ trips, many trips focus not on conversion or evangelism, but on service projectsâ€”building a playground, providing medical care, or serving free meals to the poor. Short-term mission participants have a genuine desire to transform conditions of poverty, yet they don't always know how to go about it; many people involved in short-term mission work virtually reinvent the wheel when they design and plan their service projects.

Making a Difference in a Globalized World: Short-term Missions thatWork is a guide to leaders of such trips. The book presents clear insight and research from anthropologists and development professionals, and encourages individuals to lead mission trips that make a greater impact on the communities that they are serving.

The text provides:
- a framework for planning short-term mission trips;
- foundation for planning;
- personal anecdotes and case studies;
- and practical suggestions for volunteer opportunities.
This handbook is a vital resource for any potential mission volunteers or organizers.
