  • Preparing Your Team for a Summer Mission Trip!
    Friday, January 13, 2012 - 5:06pm

    So you've made the decision, the church is on-board, and you are ready to take the youth group on an international summer mission trip. Now what?

    A one-week mission trip in June or July really starts weeks, even months before you arrive on the filed. Every Mission Discovery trip leader is encouraged to attend a webinar or weekend event we call Pre-Field Orientation (PFO). When that training is complete the team leader has tools to prepare the team for the best possible international mission trip!

  • Fundraising for Short Term Missions
    Monday, January 30, 2012 - 12:02pm

    Over 2 million individuals will go on a short term mission trip in 2012. Many of those who go will simply be able to write the check for the trip, but others will be a part of individual and organized fundraising events to shore up the money to serve.

    Since 1975 I have been raising my personal support. Here at Mission Discovery each staff member is asked to raise a portion of the funds needed to supply their annual salary.
