Description

The Next Mile resources are designed to assist local churches and agencies plan and conduct effective ministry. Participants in the short-term mission experience include the "goer", sender, local church, goer's family, mentor, host, and those to whom the STMer ministers. The mission experience that is well-planned and carried out will affect the life of each participant in their continuing journey to become more like Christ.

Included in the Goer Guide is a spiritual journal with daily Bible readings and space to journal, record thoughts from Scripture, and write prayer requests. This helpful tool begins 14 days before departure and continues for 7 days after the conclusion of a short-term trip. In a sealed envelope inside the Goer Guide is a Mentor Guide that serves as a simple, yet powerful and practical resource for Mentors.

Endorsements

The nature of short-term mission trips is that they are, by design, short! Therefore the second mile doesn't even begin until we get home. As a result, it could be that the most important aspect of a short-term mission experience is where we typically place the least emphasis—what we do once the trip is over! Now, in The Next Mile, we have a comprehensive resource that builds on dozen of excellent resources. Its focus is the integration of our short-term mission experience into our lives once we return.
