Description / Abstract
My goal is simply to discuss how the boom of short-term mission programs around the world relates to commonly held mission perspectives. Moreover, how the church can best respond to both the Word and the world today.
My thesis is that faithfulness to the biblical mission mandate and the world’s needs in the twenty first century requires an appropriate short-term missions strategy.
My discussion will be based on seven propositional statements. 1) The biblical mission mandate is both comprehensive and holistic in nature. 2) The call to mission is a call for all believers. 3) Mission requires a pertinent message in each context that is shaped by time and place. 4) How missions is conducted today (missions), is influenced by the intensification of globalization. 5) Long-term missions cannot adequately respond either to the biblical mandate or to the world’s current needs. 6) Short-term missions can and must address some of the shortcomings of the long-term missions approach. 7) Both short-term and long-term missions require appropriate preparation and periodic reeducation and training.
