Book Synopsis A Mission That Matters by : Jen Bradbury
Download or read book A Mission That Matters written by Jen Bradbury and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission trips have become a staple in youth ministries across the United States. The problem is many mission trips remain disconnected from the rest of a congregation's ministry. As a result, it's often difficult to integrate students' experiences on the field with their lives back home. In this book, veteran youth worker and author, Jen Bradbury, will lay out a philosophy for mission trips that does just that: Connects what happens on the field with students' lives at home. To do so, she'll draw upon Scripture as well as stories from the 15 years she's spent leading mission trips herself, both domestically and internationally. Regardless of how few or how many mission trips a youth worker has led, Jen's words will leave them feeling inspired and equipped to create a comprehensive missions strategy that has the chance to leave a lasting impact on teens, congregations, and the world.

Book Synopsis When Helping Hurts by : Steve Corbett
Download or read book When Helping Hurts written by Steve Corbett and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 300,000 copies in print, When Helping Hurts is a paradigm-forming contemporary classic on the subject of poverty alleviation. Poverty is much more than simply a lack of material resources, and it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve it. When Helping Hurts shows how some alleviation efforts, failing to consider the complexities of poverty, have actually (and unintentionally) done more harm than good. But it looks ahead. It encourages us to see the dignity in everyone, to empower the materially poor, and to know that we are all uniquely needy—and that God in the gospel is reconciling all things to himself. Focusing on both North American and Majority World contexts, When Helping Hurts provides proven strategies for effective poverty alleviation, catalyzing the idea that sustainable change comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out.

Book excerpt: Can we go on short-term missions that don't do damage and in fact serves everyone? Too often the only people who receive the benefit of a short-term missions trip are the trip participants. Many books and critics have expressed their opinion about the damage done by many short-term missions groups on local communities. Reciprocal Missions provides a healthy path forward. A path that will guide us into short-term missions that will be mutually beneficial for everyone involved, both ministry host and mission trip goer. Reciprocal Missions covers cultural sensitivity, building on the ground relationships with hosting organizations, and the nuts and bolts of both facilitating and hosting short-term mission teams. If we want to do short-term missions with excellence, then we must be willing to do the hard work of relationships. With a combined 45 years of experience, DJ Schuetze, who hosts hundreds of short-term mission groups a year and Phil Steiner who leads hundreds of people on short-term mission trips a year have collaborated to bring their experiences and expertise to this book, Reciprocal Missions: Short-Term Missions that Serve Everyone.
Book Synopsis Short Term Missions by : John Peter Overholt
Download or read book Short Term Missions written by John Peter Overholt and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can teach a lot of things but we can only impart what we have lived. After 85 short-term mission trips and almost nine years with boots on the ground as a full time missionary John Overholt has lived missions and his book "Short Term Missions: Long Term Impact" has much to impart. "It is a fantastic resource for everyone desirous of being a blessing to other nations and only wish I had it twenty years ago!" Dr. Theodore (Ted) Vail Associate Director of Foursquare Missions International. John Overholt highlights twelve key ingredients that need to be incorporated into the philosophy and strategy of a church mission program. He provides answers to some of the tough but valid questions facing mission teams these days. Is there really a need for missionaries anymore? Are we not in danger of creating dependency with our giving or causing unintended harm by our kindness? Do Short Term Mission teams really make an impact? Rather than paying for the airfare, food and accommodations for ten church members to come to Costa Rica for two weeks, would it not be better to simply send you the money that we would have charged the team so that you can invest it into the needs down here? Along with solutions necessary to promote healthy mission programs, John also highlights the benefits that Short Term mission trips have upon the sending church, the team members themselves, the receiving church and community involved plus the Lord Himself. This book will challenge and encourage pastors and leaders to rethink some of the ways we do missions. It gets to the very heart of the mission movement. If Jesus was the leader of your next mission trip, what would you do? Where would He take you? It gets back to the simple and yet very powerful commission of Jesus to go and make disciples and answers the clear question in Romans 10:15; How shall they preach unless they are sent? It is His mission. If you have a call to missions, this book will provide you with valuable resources and tools to help your next mission team make a long term impact.

Book Synopsis The Missionary by : William Carmichael

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Eller is an American missionary in Venezuela, married to missionary nurse, Christie. Together they rescue homeless children in Caracas. But for David, that isn't enough. The supply of homeless children is endless because of massive poverty and the oppressive policies of the Venezuelan government, led by the Hugo Chavez- like Armando Guzman. In a moment of anger, David publicly rails against the government, unaware that someone dangerous might be listening- a revolutionary looking for recruits. David falls into an unimaginable nightmare of espionage, ending in a desperate, life-or-death gamble to flee the country with his wife and son, with all the resources of a corrupt dictatorship at their heels.
