2015 Opportunities through Short-Term Missions The majority of the short-term trips will focus on encouraging, partnering, and supporting our own missionaries and their ministries. Some of the most effective outreaches are those in which there is an established relationship and the trip is linked with the work of the national church or an on-going ministry. So, the goal of our short-term trips in 2015 will be to serve those who serve! Join us . . . and make a difference!
