Short Term Missions Retreat
Please join us on Saturday, March 27, as we spend the day exploring global missions! Whether you have never been on a short term missions trip or have been on many, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear from an expert in missions, Paul Borthwick, currently serving as a training consultant to Development Associates International a group dedicated to character and ministry development of leaders in the under-resourced world. Paul has written many books (How to Be a World-Class Christian has been recognized by Rick Warren as "must read"), and also teaches Missions at Gordon College. Don't miss this great opportunity! $15 per person (includes lunch).
Challenge yourself! Learn:
• What the Bible says about short term missions and our global purpose;
• What you need to know to be a good guest in a different culture
• How you raise prayer and financial support for your missions trip
• How to have long term impact on your short term missions trip
• How to stay healthy traveling in other countries
