Are you facing the “Communication and Impact Challenge” when it comes to short-term mission trips?

If your church or organization is into short-term missions, no doubt you’ve faced the dubious “Communication and Impact Challenge”.  Short-term missions is all about communication and creating impact!

Does any of this sound familiar …

You are tasked with getting the message out about your trip to as many people as possible, providing solid information about where you’re going, when and why it’s important.  Next, you’ve got to make sure once you’ve signed people up, they are being properly prepared for the field not to mention connecting with people who can’t go but want to support the trip through prayer, financially and by volunteering.  Oh, and when you’re on the field?  You definitely want to communicate with supporters and your church — that’s a given.  Finally, when the trip’s over, you want to make sure that you’re doing all you can to communicate what amazing things God did to you and through you.

Communication and impact:  two essentials for short-term missions.

Relying on your church website, bulletin announcements, verbal messages, flyers, mission packets, Twitter or Facebook posts or some combination thereof to effectively communicate and create impact? It’s a “hit and miss” approach that can keep you from other important aspects of ministry.
