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 dozens of excellent
resources. Its focus is the integration of our short-term mission
experience into our lives once we return. ---Tim Dearborn World Vision
