Description / Abstract
Is it worth it to send and receive short-term mission teams? Is the risk worth the reward? In this paper I will answer this question solely in the context of the Church of the Nazarene. I believe that short-term missions as a practice, specifically those involving college and university age students, are worth it. But it is a qualified yes to short-term missions. I can say yes because of an understanding of this generation of students. I can say yes because of an appreciation for our denominational structure. I can say yes if we, as both senders and receivers of short-term mission teams, agree that from training through implementation and follow-up, we approach this summit cautiously and intentionally, avoiding the cheap and quick routes that can prove to be costly, if not fatal, in the lives and work of all involved. This paper is structured around these three affirmations: first I will review what the research is saying about this generation of students; then I will move to our denominational context for short-term missions, and finally will close with a discussion of the need for training and preparation of our teams.
