Increasing numbers of churches, schools, and Christian ministries are sending out teams to foreign countries for brief trips. Without proper oversight these may become little more than sightseeing excursions. This course seeks to help the local church develop an effective and sustainable foreign mission’s program. The content focuses on determining proper objectives, training team members, raising funds, arranging logistical matters, and implementing components into a successful outreach. The outcome will be an effective and sustainable short-term missionary program for the local church that will accomplish meaningful on-field ministry and provide participating members with a heightened awareness of foreign missionary work and an increased burden to support it faithfully.
