Turn your short-term trip into long-term transformation. Help! We’re Going on a Short-Term Trip! is a two-day seminar that equips you to make disciples who make disciples—before, during, and after the trip.
For missions staff and team leaders, discipleship pastors, youth pastors, elders, church planters, and global partners. Anyone who sends or receives teams.
Do more than arrange logistics.
Flights, housing, and packing lists matter. This short-term missions training seminar helps you prepare the people, too, so your team embraces cross-cultural sensitivity, serves with Christ-like humility, and returns home transformed.

What others are saying.
“This seminar is the best leadership training for missions. It’s hands-on…hard to describe it accurately as a seminar. It’s not just listening; it’s active learning. The training was a missiology gut check for me.”

“I wish I had this training six years ago. I’ve been on thirty international trips, but through this training I have learned so much about leadership, team building, and spiritual and practical preparation for my teams.”
