Every year, an estimated 1.6 million Americans participate in
short-term mission trips, spending over one billion dollars 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 mission trips, many trips focus not on
conversion or evangelism, but on service projects 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. Here is a guide for leaders of such trips
presenting clear insight and research from anthropologists and
development professionals that will help them have a greater impact
on the communities they are serving. The framework for planning
short-term mission trips outlined here provides a firm foundation
for maximizing their effectiveness. Laurie A. Occhipinti draws in
her reader with personal anecdotes, using case studies to
illustrate her points, and engages them with thoughtful analysis of
the work that is done during short-term missions. Filled with
practical suggestions for creating effective volunteer
opportunities, this handbook is a vital resource for any potential
mission volunteer."
