The main intent of this Modular Training Program (MTP) is to provide a brief overview of how to organize, train and lead a short-term mission. The MTP is a training tool and a resource; please take it and adapt it to the unique situation of your church and the particular type of mission you will be involved in.

Unlike a vacation, where our purpose is leisure, the mission you are planning is designed to allow you to observe and participate in missions ministries. If we do nothing other than be servants to our host culture, we will have hit a home run. There is always a danger going with a “savior type mentality”. There is only one savior, we go strictly as his servants. With this in mind your greatest blessings will come as a direct result of your positive attitude. Be patient, be pliable, be involved!
