The Next Mile - Leader Guide

SHORT-TERM MISSIONS FOR THE LONG HAUL

Brian Heerwagen with contributing authors Contributing Editor, Dianne Grudda

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 are:

• Resourse CD
• Sample forms (customizable with your own logo and information)
• Sample meetings and resources for suggested activities
• Sample bulletin inserts and bulletin boards
• A PowerPoint presentation template for reporting home
• Evaluation and assessment tools
• And much more
• Road Map Poster - A colorful "at-a-glance" poster with major benchmarks along the journey.

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 International
